These chairs needed new paint and fabric. Designer and owner Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design in Denver had the wood refinished and then painted the frames with a pleasant blueish-gray shade. “We reupholstered the seats and backs with two distinct fabrics and added a braid trim as a welt,” she says. Using two different fabrics created “an element of interest and provided more room for creative expression with color, pattern, and texture,” she says
