So I just recently bought these metal bamboo chairs (that I love) but I'm having a tough time trying to figure out what cushions I should have made for them. I really want a fun pattern (geometric, modern zig zag, flame, Asian motif), maybe orange and white, maybe light blue and white or maybe beige and white. I am not a fan of red (anymore) and the rest of my house is in baby blue, emerald green with some hints of yellow.
I figured since I cant really decide I would post it here and open the suggestions up to you guys. So can you help me? What do you think?
(Links to fabric options or images would be most helpful. Thank you in advance!) Oh and please don't email me...just add it the comments section!

Calico Corners has some really nice patterns: geometric, chinoiserie etc.. I was at the Torrance store and they had end bolts between 50 to 70% off!

where did you find the chairs?
Thank you for the ideas (so far) I love the ideas from Ian and will also check out Calico Corners...I purchase a lot from them.
Kristen, I bought the chairs at a local vintage store in Venice Beach.
I love Alan Campbell's linen "Saya Gata" through Quadrille. Iconic.

Here is a picture of the orange color on a chair:

Thomas Paul's line or for Duralee (available through Calico corners) is a more cost-effective way to go. The bamboo and blossom patterns are fab.
And you can't go wrong with Trina Turk. Her "Santorini" and "Trellis" fabrics are totally groovy.
Love your work Vanessa.
How about anything from Ruby Green? I love her chevron stripe. I think just about all of her fabric has white backgrounds which would look really fresh with all your white. Can't wait to see the "after."
I think these patterns are amazing and would look great with your style. Not sure if you can figure out how to make pillows out of them, but if anyone can I bet you could.

darling.....if the rest of your house is baby blue, emerald green with a little yellow, i say go for a bright, saturated magenta, that is almost going into an intense redish purple.....stay with the jewel tones....it'll add that extra pop to your kitchen and look swell with the black and white of the rest of the room.
(i've actually got a swatch to show you when i see you next)
Alan, Meg, Lauren and Kelly you ALL have great ideas! Ruby Green is a great suggestion (was def thinking about the zigzig pattern).
Thank you so much!
