Re-upholstering

[Chas]

I have a nice 1920's living room suite that I am planning to re-upholster. I have been hunting around for art deco fabric to do it with; I found this on Decodame.com. I haven't made a firm decision on the fabric, but the example the site has of the fabric on dining room chairs shows it to be pretty nice. I have three pics of the chairs & sofa (there's a matching green ottoman). And the fabric I am thinking about. I plan on doing the sofa & red chair in red, and the other chair in green.

What'd ya think? Any other suggestions on where to find fabric?

Fabric I'm considering:

Thanks for any replies.

I like the fabric Chas. I was considering that one myself for a small project, but decided it may be too delicate to hold up under daily wear. That is what I would be worried about for a couch/chair. For that reason, I'd probably go with something like mohair, and maybe get toss pillows made from the neat decodame fabric. I have a deco club chair that was re-upholstered in solid maroon mohair with gray piping, and a matching 30s sofa with the original green mohair - it seems to hold up very well and is pretty widely available.
