Any tips on where to source nice wingbacks in Europe? There don’t seem to be as many options and they tend to be in the higher price range.
Cheers

Hi Margaret, this would be very late seeing as you posted your question back in March, but I’d say go for the complementary colours rather than having them matchy-matchy, especially as the wingback is such a strong structural shape already, varying colours would not be too jarring and add more interest, don’t you think?

Anyway, I loooove wingbacks, and have to disagree with Amy unfortunately regarding the dosing factor as I thought wingbacks were designed originally with the intent of helping the reader dose by the fire, that’s the whole purpose of the wings — to keep out the drought but also to allow resting place for dozy heads. My own prized wingback is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79741326@N00/953675808/in/set-72157601104835851/

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having either two matching wingbacks on either side of a window or two that have complementary colors? I can’t decide.

Could you do a guide on best places to buy fabric? I am really looking for where to buy upholstery fabrics to redo a wingback chair I just found.
