Tips for Decorating with Leather Sofas
Leather is made to last and only gets better with age. When you invest in leather sofas, you are making a commitment, but because it’s so versatile, you’re never committed to just one style. Here are some of our favorite tips to choose a leather sofa that you can love for years and always get a designer look.
Blend with fabric pieces. Even the warmest leather colors can look cold without layering the right textures. So pair a leather sofa like the Ellerey with chairs and ottomans that have soft and plush fabrics. A mix of textures will make the space feel warm and inviting.
Choose your leather color thoughtfully. Even if bold or moody leather sofas are trending, consider the future and whether that’s something you will still want five years from now. A classic brown or beige sofa, like the Burton, will provide more versatility and a timeless look over the years.
Contrast your leather and wood finishes. If everything is brown, the space will lack depth and interest. Choose a shade of leather that contrasts but blends with the accent tables and entertainment pieces in the room. This will give the space a cohesive look while allowing each piece to stand out.
Use down pillows. Skip the foam inserts and choose down pillows for your leather sofas. Foam pillows lack the weight to stay in place on the smooth surface of leather. Down pillows won’t constantly need rearranging, plus a leather sofa like the Wellsley deserves a little bit of luxury.
