Interior design help needed!
Jul. 10th, 2011 11:33 amSo we've got two chairs that look like this:
( cut for pics )
Need suggestions for a couch that won't look horribly out of place next to them. Would prefer to go with the vaguely '30s (or 1920s-1940s) vibe I sort of get from them than the 1950s-60s mModern vibe. i.e it needs to look like something you'd see in a movie made from an Agatha Christie novel rather than an early James Bond movie.
In other words, while these chairs are cheap-and-cheerful Modern*, I'm going with the Art Deco/Art Moderne elements of them that I can see in these 1930s and 1930s-inspired club chairs.
I did find a couch sort of like the reproduction 1930s couches in the top photos here, at *shudder* Crate & Barrel, but it's $1500 (on sale in the store right now) and $1200 is really closer to my top limit. I'd prefer more like $800, which I know cuts out a lot of options, but would go to $1200 for the right sofa.
Plz to not be telling me to just buy what I love and they'll go together. I've been doing that for fifteen years and they do not go together, they look like crap together. I'd rather have a destination in mind.
ETA: Also, it needs to have arms large enough to sit back against when lounging reading a book. :)
* Which I can find EVERYWHERE I LOOK and am getting heartily tired of.
