My lovely twin sister Lisa has a problem, can you please help? She lives in a very sweet craftsman house with awesome details and great bones. These pics are of her living room. Awhile ago, she took the advice of a 'friend' who suggested hounds tooth (red and white), yikes. After receiving the newly upholstered arm chairs, the zig zag of the hounds tooth mixed in with the craftsman style was said to induced headaches. But some people seem to disagree. What should she do? Keep them? Reupholster, dye the fabric beige....help us out here peeps.xoxo

i actually really like the fabric, maybe a couple of cream cushions on top to balance the pattern out?
yes - the cushions idea is a good one.
I agree. Just add cushions, or a cozy throw to add a pop of a different color.
I can't quite tell what colour the other couches are, but along with nice cream cushions I'd suggest perhaps a simpler rug? The rug at the moment looks quite ornate and seems to be competing with the houndstooth. Maybe just a block colour rug instead?
Sort of hard to tell from the photo, the chairs are looking pinkish - perhaps the wall color, painted a deep color as craftsman style homes. Lighting also helps - I always love researching historical reference for ideas.
Great idea, will relay to sis.
I was hoping to be able to click on the pics to enlarge - no luck.
Sorry, I can't see a thing really but agree that pillows will help and I like the suggestion of wall color.
