For the next few months I’ll be sharing in the Fiesta Movement by tackling design projects in my home and community. This months’ theme is Style. This month I’ve decided to tackle finishing up my home office and I need your help!
If you remember I’ve been working on redoing my office for awhile now. My initial color scheme for the office came from this fabric combo that I pulled from my fabric showroom.
I knew right away I wanted to incorporate Schumacher’s Birds and Butterflies fabric.
However I’m having the hardest time deciding where to put it in my office! My first thought was to do it as a roman shade.
But then I fell in love with Schumacher’s Vientiane Ikat Print for the roman shade.
I think the coral will be a really great contrast to the black walls.
I’ve been wanting to get a new desk chair for awhile now so one thought I had was to reupholster a chair in the fabric.
Chairs can be pretty expensive to reupholster so I had an idea to have a custom slipcover made for an Ikea chair.
I would use a basic Henriksdal chair because I love the shape. Then I was thinking to have a custom slipcover made from this etsy shop. This idea would probably end up costing quite a bit of money when all is said and done so that is my one hesitation with this option. Another hesitation I have is that I would worry the fabric would get a little dirty after all the use it will get. It’s also a pretty stiff fabric so I worry about it getting wrinkled.
So that brings me to my next option…
I thought I could buy one of these World Market dining chairs and then just reupholster the back in the fabric and leave the seat green. This would enable me to still get to use the fabric but I wouldn’t have to worry about it getting dirty and wrinkled all the time.
Should I choose option one or option two?
I’ll be revealing which option I chose later in the month so stay tuned!
disclosure: This is a sponsored post and I was compensated for my participation. The opinions expressed are my own.
I love the slipcovered look but I think the WM chair is the smarter option!
I think I'd go with the World Market option since like you said, you wouldn't have to worry about it getting worn or dirty. Plus I think it would look amazing on the back of that chair! I love all of your fabric choices!!
The only problem with the world market chair is that you really wouldn't see the fabric since it's on the back, and that would be a bummer. I'd rather see it as a pillow on the world market chair so you can see it, and perhaps if you had enough, on the back as well.
I love the WM idea (easy to change out, too) if you're going to keep the desk against the wall, but agree with Jess, it would be sad not to see that gorgeous fabric if if the chair back faces the wall.
The chair back actually faces the door when you come in! So you would see it right away otherwise I totally agree!
I totally get why you're hesitant with option 1 but that would be my vote! The lines are so clean and if you got piping done on the slipcover, that would look so polished!
World market option for sure!
ooooh i would do option 2 with the world market chair, it just looks so much more comfortable than a chair with no arms … think about how much you sit at the desk!
Wow love the wall color!! How fun!
And the Schumacher fabric for the shade is TDF! Is that from their new collection? I don't think I've seen it before.
I would do the world market chair. Seems to make the most sense in this scenario….also, I'm not a fan of the other chair shape. I feel like it may be kind of "over"?
Good luck….I know it will be awesome!!

World Market chair for sure, especially if the chair back is facing the entrance of the room. I love that you painted your office black, you're brave!! 😉
I love for option #2 for sure! It will look fabulous!
I love option #2 best!! So pretty and so much more practical!
Definitely options #2! Great idea!
For sure option 2! That chair is gorgeous and the butterfly fabric will look great with the green!
option 2! also if this were my place I may consider incorporating the butterfly and birds fabric into the roman shade? ie: do a strip of it vertically around the perimeter or a wide horizontal stripe if its going to be a pleated roman shade? Something to consider… I love mixing patterns and I do love the fabrics you chose!
I would go with the Wold Market option . Love the fabric … question on the schumacher fabric , is there a cheap source to get it , I love the print … but at 84$ a yard for throw pillows , can;t justify it 🙁
I totally understand! These are some cheaper alternatives.

2! I love the decorating mullet (business in the front, party in the back) and it just seems to be the smarter choice all around anyway.
can you tell me what the brown polka dot fabric is?! it would go amazing on MY desk chair!
of course! It's Schumacher 67980 Pebble Embroidery and it's amazing!
I like option number 1 that is my fave fabric!
Although you could always have the slipcover dry cleaned every once and while to keep it looking good, I still love the lines of the chair in option 2!
Loving the coral and black together in your office!
Option 2
Tough! I like them both 😉
You should splurge… Do Option #2. I think the fabric would look GREAT with the lines on that chair.
#2 Option. Love that chair style and the fabric covered just on the back will appeal to the eye looking in to office. Love that option.
I love option 2! So classy!
I LOVE option 2 but the practical person in me says go for the first option so that you can change the slipcover when you tire of the butterfly fabric. Love the roman shade fabric…gorgeous!
Love it! For sure option #2.
