Design Inspiration: Contrast Upholstery



Last night we were very kindly given a wingback armchair, from a friend who is moving abroad. We have been on the hunt for a brilliant feature armchair for our living room for nigh on two years, we've seen many we love, but all over the £500 mark! Too scary much to blow on something you'll put your bum on, we put them on the dream house list.



So, we were beginning to give up hope, until we got offered this wingback, gratis! Perhaps this is exactly what we needed? We couldn't find the exact thing, so now we can make something exactly how we like! I'm planning to get cracking on re-upholstering it this weekend. I'm taking inspiration from the stunning Boujis Occasional chair from Made, pictured above. Dove grey fabric with contrast trims? Yes please!

Some more dream home bum snugglers...

Kind of can't wait to get cracking on this mega DIY! Have you ever tried your hand at upholstery? Or been tempted?
