From Randi


Q. I have my eye on a Chair and Ottoman in Fairview Buff, and a Sectional in Fairview Merlot. I really like thiese colors together, but I’m having trouble deciding on throw pillows. Right now, I’ve picked out Tribeca chocolate. Just wanted to check if you think this will be an okay combination?

Fairview Merlot, Fairview Buff, and Tribecca Chocolate


A. Thanks for visiting Home Reserve, Randi. Sounds like a beautiful selection! Jen and i like your decision to combine Fairview Buff with Fairview Merlot. These are soft textured fabrics and the tones blend nicelye. Tribeca Chocolate is a fun throw pillow fabric, but it is mostly “cool” toned (meaning the colors range from blues, to greens).  For your particular Fairview combination we think you may prefer a throw pillow that is “warm” in tone, one that is in the same family with Fairview Merlot, ranging from yellow to red.

Try one of the following: Pawleys Plum, Tremont Russt, Sachmo Amber, and/or Montague Burgundy
