Are mix and match suites a thing?

Got the idea of my SIL who has two different fabric suites in her sitting room.
So the time came to finally go get a new sitting room suite for myself so I've ordered a three and two piece grey leather matching suite and am now looking for a grey fabric armchair for the room.
Will this look ok, don't want it to look odd or out of place!!

Yes of course it will look ok! But I would go for something a bit different with the armchair rather than just matching the grey - maybe a patterned or striped fabric chair with some grey in rather than a block colour. Could you post a pic of the sofas? And what other colours will you have in the room - curtains, walls, carpet etc...?

Wooden blinds no curtains, wood floor, cream walls, black lamps, black fireplace, sparkly grey rug.
Like the idea of a patterned fabric 👍

Yes but you need pattern. Is the leather actually leather or plastic?

We have a large couch in a fabric that's kind of tweedy in a flecked denim colour. We also have a love seat and an armchair in a floral fabric but which tones with the couch,so all three are different shapes but coordinating colours. I really like it.

Ok - should have asked what style you're going for.. but a few ideas here:

First would go with modern or traditional with a bit of pattern but still quite muted if you want to be subtle - link

Bit more traditional - link

Tub chair if you need something small - link

Something a bit more funky - link

Am I way off the kind of thing you like? Grin

I love the last one btw - but when you open the link you need to click on the silver option...

I've got a red velvet sofa, an oatmeal sofa and an oatmeal/red/burgundy striped seat and foot stool in my sitting room. It looks great.

Love that room Apollo! I have similar in different colours - a blue sofa, a cream one and a patterned chair in both with some other colours thrown in!

kissmelittleass · 21/03/2019 20:20

Yes it's real leather no plastic at the price I paid!!
Badtaste .. modern is more my style, thanks for links I love the check pattern of the dunelm chair but the style/shape of the very chair. Looking for a dark grey pattern rather than light as my dd can be a nightmare with spilling drinks!
