Nevermind.
I have two bolsters. I've had them for ages. And they've always sat on these two chairs.
There's nothing wrong with them. They're perfectly fine tan, faux-suede bolsters. Nothing offending enough to warrant them getting tossed.
But I think they lack pizzaz. Despite the bold geometric on these two chairs, this area was rather... boring. What's missing? Then it hit me. Duh.
COLOR.
I hate to throw anything out. And, heck, I'm cheap too. So how about a facelift?
I found the PERFECT fabric. Epic Tale by Waverly. It's the stripe in this stack.
It was a little more expensive than I usually go for at $22/yd. But I only needed two feet (2/3 yd) for this project, which came to about $14.50.
All I did was cut out two identical striped areas, seam the raw edges, and sew it together to make a tube.
Then just slipped it on. Come on, what's easier than that? And a nice transformation for little time and little money... two things I don't have much of these days.
Linking to some of these great parties.
Now go make something!

That is BRILLIANT! Gosh, you could change them out during the year if you were so inclined. I need to make two for my guest room trundle bed. I might make them solid and try your technique. Thanks for sharing!
