Which chair should I buy?

[verycontrary247]

With my tax return $$$ arriving shortly, I'm finally going to take the plunge and replace the chair I hate in my living room, but I can't decide which one to get.

Here are my top 2 favorites. I've sat in both, finding them to be equally comfortable and there's only about a $20 price difference.

Fuchsia- Velvet, World Market
Yellow- Linen, IKEA

I already own the teal velvet sofa pictured below. Also included some random snapshots of my living room (the bright blue bucket chair is the one being replaced, floral chair is staying)

possibly worth mentioning is that the interior doors in my house are the same shade of yellow as that chair. I also have lighter yellow metal dining room chairs.

I voted for the Fuchsia. I like the style better. I also love your floral chair. So fun!

Hard!!

My reactions to the two colors:

You have a lot of color going on and I feel that the yellow kind of tones it down, if that makes sense. But your TV stand is yellow too- will they work together or clash?

The pink pops a lot more and is yet another color. But the flower chair kind of brings all the colors together.

So - I have no answer. I like them both.

[sandyapples]

Fuchsia!

[emsumm]

I like the fuschia.

[ECB]

I agree w/ flatlan, though, on the style. I like the style of the fuchsia chair more.

I like the fuchsia, I think it coordinates better with the floral chair.

I'm concerned about all the yellows I have possibly clashing or being too much. However (it's hard to tell from the picture) the back of the yellow chair is much taller, which I like since the rest of my furniture is pretty low profile and it would go in the corner of the tallest wall in the house.

I like the fact that the fuchsia chair is also velvet and tufted all over, like the sofa. Also it's another fun color.

My sister makes fun of me that every piece of furniture I buy is a statement piece.

I also was going to ask if you could fit both. But if not, I pick fuchsia because you already have a yellow tv stand and lighter yellow dining chairs. But I would add some yellow throw pillows for accent.

Can you fit both? Lol. Fuchsia if I had to pick.

I kicked myself for buying the floral chair when I came to this dilemma.

[fezzik]

I was going to say yellow until I saw your room. I think fuchsia would be best because the floral chair will pull all the colors together (yellow from tv stand, teal from couch, and fuchsia from the chair).

[jreeds]

Fuchsia!

Get the yellow chair and paint the TV stand fuchsia?

Yellow looks bigger, like you could curl up in it with a book.

Lol after refinishing my dining room table and a cedar chest last summer I am decidedly over painting furniture.

I'm not a fan of the legs of the fuschia chair, but I like the color better with your living room.

[eb777888]

Fuscia!! I love your house.

[blondemoment123]

Fuschia.

[steph96]

I love the fuchsia! The tufting really makes it!

Do you have a link to it?

[thinkofthesoldiers]

I think the fuchsia would look terrible against the rug.

Fuchsia, especially since it'll share a wall with the yellow TV stand. You've got lots of color in there already...why stop now? I love your bright and cheery space!

[intentionalsnarkshark]

Oh man, I love your sofa.

Me too! It's surprisingly comfortable.

It also comes in a light tan and navy blue.

[McGavin]

I feel like the tufted sofa and tufted fuschia chair is too much tufting. I vote yellow.

So jealous of your sofa.

[snorky]

Fuschia. How fun. I love your sofa, too- where is it from and is it comfortable?

[isabel]

I love the yellow and think it would coordinate best with the rest of the room.

I agree with this. You've already committed to having multiple bright colors; at this point it's like go big or go home!

[sonrisa]

I love that you are doing this exactly the way you want :-)

When you are in the room, is it usually lit by natural light or is it in the evenings with lamps? If you are usually in there during daylight, I say yellow. Evenings, I say fuschia. Yellow will bring attention to all the daylight (or lack thereof) and fuschia will be more cozy evening comfort.
