Try microfiber as it is easy to clean and take care of. If you are worried about stains, try an indoor/outdoor fabric like Sunbrella. I recommend Ultra Guard fabric protection in lieu of Scotch Guard. Stay away from loops and chenilles if you are worried about your dogs and their claws. Solid colors tend to show stains and pet hair, so try looking for patterns or multicolored fabrics. Hope that helped!

HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)

Hello Arsh, Thankfully it's one piece as we were hoping. To tone it down these are our suggestions: The wall behind this needs to be in grey color. Use the lighter shade of your Curtains grey stitch lines in Royale Aspira Paint. Use black and white photo frames on that wall. Combine a number of patterned black and white with bright yellow or blue cushions on this piece and Use a similar throw piece. Use a carpet if your budget permits. Please ask the upholsterers to finish the other sofas properly. The biddings are not straight and they are not there on the entire piece - like handles. Let us know if you would need some pics as suggestions on the above. Lastly, thanks for your kind words..please feel free to leave your review/comments on our Houzz profile. Amit Cornerstone Designs.
