HI,

We had purchased 2 leather reclining couches from Ashley furniture homestore. Upon recieving the couches, we could only fit one of the couches upstaires along with our coffee and end tables (living room isn't big enough).

I have a $500 certificate to use at the store again and don't want to spend any more than that. I would like to find a recliner chair, double size chair or chaise chair. Problem is, I don't know what color to go with. My walls are a dark burnt orange, the couch is listed as 'auburn cinemark'.

What color would you suggest? The actual chair to go the the couches I have is well over $1000 and don't want to spend that. I would post pictures but don't have a posting attachment privileges.

Hi sarahbear,

A picture will be great, so we can see the exact colors, light, etc

In order to set an image here follow these easy steps-->
1 - upload your picture to a free online photoalbum like Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/)or Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) , for example
2 - Look for the link of your picture (usually, photoalbums provide a "link for a forum" script) --> copy the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located),
3 - In the DIY Forum--> Reply post or open a new post--> Press the 'Insert Image' icon above and paste the link--> or type before the URL and after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image

Hi sarahbear,

In my opinion, the single recliner matching the coach looks very nice and will be a great choice

I'm assuming that you mean the same style as my couch and not the chaise? If you are suggesting the leather chair, I do not wish to spend over $1000 for the chair which is why I am wondering if there is another color that would match the color of my current couch.
