Hi all, we recently moved into a new house and decided to treat ourselves to a new armchair as it was massively reduced and we both loved it.
It has turned up and we still love it, but it sticks out like a sore thumb among the rest of our stuff. I suppose my general 'style' is sort of shabby/hippyish. We've got faded old sofas, faded cheapo kilims and rag rugs, old mostly dark wood furniture, loads of plants and mobiles and drapy bits everywhere.
I know it probably sounds ghastly to a lot of you - I haven't really changed my taste since I was a student! - but anyway it's our stuff so unless I buy everything new we've got to figure out a way to fit this chair in! We do need new curtains and a new sofa. What would you do? I'm stuck between a)Try to pick out one or 2 of the colours from the chair (like yellow or pink or purple velvet) and get rid of everything else that looks old and shabby or b) just decorate as I usually would as if it were not there and wait for the colours to fade (it is more colourful than in the pictures). Or c)any genius suggestions?
Thanks for reading - first world problems I know!
