Selecting a Paint Color and Slipcover Fabric

Decorating Dilemmas is a weekly column in which our stylists answer your design questions, so you can tackle your home decorating project with complete confidence.

Dear How to Decorate,

My family is relocating from the Atlanta area to Beaufort, South Carolina very soon. I have just purchased a Baldwin Queen Sleeper Sofa. I have no idea which slipcovers would work with our design dilemma!

There are a few details we must work with while trying to choose to correct slipcover. We will be renting a home in South Carolina.  I am eager to make it OUR HOME by planning ahead.  I recently purchased the  9×12  Jacqueline Blue Rug. We also have two club chairs that need to work in the room. Now to make this even more challenging, we can only choose one of 4 paint colors according to the housing rules. The Latte seems to be the obvious choice.

These are all Sherwin Williams Colors.

1) SW7024/ Functional Grey   2) SW6763/ Retiring Blue   3) SW6108 /Latte   4) SW6163/Grassland Green

Attached are two photos which include. Both show the  Jacqueline Blue Rug  and the club chairs. One has our coffee table in it.  I do not know if this will work in the space, but I hope it will fit.

Thanks,

Ellen M

Ellen,

The Jacqueline Blue Rug is a fantastic choice and we think it will transition well with your future home.  We agree that the Sherman Williams paint color Latte – 6108 is the best selection out of the 4 possible colors.  

We suggest recovering your chairs in Desert Chenille becaus this fabric easily adapts to any room.  For an additional option, we suggest adding various pillows in a mix of fabrics to your sofa.  Try  fabrics like Desert Chenille, Danish Sky and Ashford Paisley.  Mixing these fabrics will create a cohesive look.

We wish you well in your transition and we know that everything will come together in your new home.

Happy Decorating!
