Default Suggestions on color & pattern for table runner

I would like to make a table runner for our home based off the colors of the living room chairs fabric since the dining room and living room are open as one big room. The fabric on the bottom is the chair fabric and the others are the ones I have pulled from my stash as possibilities. Any comments or changes that could be made are welcome. Also need suggestions on patterns. LOL Any takers on just making it for me? Just kidding.

I would follow the coloring on the upholstery piece and switch to a less saturated gold/mustard fabric for greater contrast. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I would keep the gold, and maybe just not use alot if it, but I think I would switch out the blue, for that soft pink, especially since your focus fabric has a blue back ground. Hope you will post oics when your done!!

I agree. Not sure if it is a pink or coral but use that color instead of the brighter blue.

Funny I almost missed the burgandy piece, it blends into the background, so if you table is dark it may not work.

Thank you for the comments and suggestions. The dining room table is white so the colors should all stand out
