To think this is the most gorgeous suite you have ever seen...

I got this from an antique shop and I love it but my DH is not too sure and I want to know if it is just me that likes it. It is nearly 80 years old.

I'd reupholster either the sofa or the armchair in the same solid color as the background color on the existing fabric.

Paint walls turquoise, and put an oriental maroon silk rug instead of the carpet.

Think it's pretty nice very different and each to there own I say

Sorry op I think it's awful. It reminds of the charity shop sofa my parents had when we were very wee.

I like it but I think it needs to be in a room with a high ceiling and floorboards/rugs

Sorry OP. It’s a “no” from me. I’m no style guru but that’s just hideous IMO.

It could look nice in the right setting. I think peacock coloured walls and some oversized plants. No clutter.

Nice shape but the colour is hideous and it really doesn't go in that room. PP had some good ideas though.

Not a fan.

HOrrible lik

The upholstery isn't to my taste, but I think the shape and style is fabulous, OP.

I need a tall one I can slump into.

I really like them, but I think it needs a wooden floor and warm autumnal tones on the walls and in the cushions, etc.

It's gruesome.

Not to my taste, I'm afraid. Your DH sounds lovely though

Did you say you thought you had a 50 / 50 "like" rate. I think you're being a bit ambitious.....

I have that chair! Exactly the same. It was originally gold with dark green pattern. I had it upholstered in denim blue 12 years ago, it needs done again though. I also have sofa and rub chair. About 100 years old. They were my great granny’s. Am off to take photos! ( may take time as I need to tidy before photos)

In the right room, painted floor boards, oil painting etc it would work, the sofa on its own but as is.. I strongly dislike

@secretwitch you have a room for ‘mourning’ the dead?

I think it looks very expensive and it and the chair are a lovely shape.
But there is a clash of styles in the room. (I actually don’t think it suits the style of your house... sorry)

Either you need a more modern suite or you need to move to a country house.

But I am in camp ‘love it’.

That looks like the type of sofa you find dead people on in telly land.

I hear DFS might have a sale

It is needing upholstered again soon, it’s had 3kids abuse in the last 12 years!

Hideous! Sorry OP! But glad you like it though

Also I thought from the title this would be a 'hotel suite' and when I saw the pic I thought you were being sarcastic

Oh gosh. Vile, just vile. Sorry x

Ah well, at least it's only a few weeks until bonfire night.
