Would it work to paint this chair navy and gold?

I have this chair in my bedroom which desperately needs a refresh. It needs a new seat pad cover which i wondered about doing in navy velvet and wondered about painting the chair in navy with gold in the detailing? Would it work or do you have any better suggestions??

    I think it would look wonderful - french navy is particularly good with gold. Perhaps echo the navy elsewhere in the room. Easy to use furniture paints are Annie Sloan - no prep needed! but you do have to wax the final coat to protect from scratches etc.

    Gold and navy go well together. Classy.

    LOVE this idea! Navy velvet would look fab with gold and you could add a small white cushion if you fancy it!

    Pick a blue fabric and then the same paint color, use a thin golden rope (thick yarn) to finish off the edges of the pillow.


    (I'm not too keen on wooden items being painted gold, a bit too classical for me. To each his own.)

    Great chair and navy is my favourite (and go to) colour... have you added gold detail to a paint project before? I'm asking because it can be a bit of a learning curve to get it in the right place/right amount...I wonder if you add the gold as piping to the velvet seat cushion instead (think that is what rinq is saying too) and then pick up gold in other areas of the room with mirrors and accessories? Add a floral cushion like the one pic from Gerty above and you have yourself one classy looking chair! Good luck...I love restyling furniture. So rewarding! xx

    You could use a gold wax just to add a little sheen. Rust-Oleum do a nice one

    Forza Italia was actually an Italian political party. I saw it recently and thought of you. I think it may also have something to do with football. :-)
