Decorate With Brown Leather Couches
Brown leather couches generally work well in a large variety of color schemes, themes and decorating styles. Brown leather sofas can complement a rustic room, for example, or a sophisticated one. Play with colors and textures that complement and contrast with the brown leather, either bringing attention to the couches or downplaying their role in the decor, depending on your preference. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Paint the walls with a light, neutral color that balances the dark sofas. Alternatively, paint the wall behind the larger brown leather sofa with a bright color that "pops," such as lime green, orange or turquoise. Patterned wallpaper is another option.
2. Place tables and side chairs around the leather sofas. Iron, glass and tile-topped tables will provide a contrasting texture that still complements the sofas. Light or painted wood will balance the room, while dark wood works in a masculine or formal, sophisticated room, like an old-world library.
3. Use a thick, high-pile rug in a light color, such as cream, white or beige; or use a patterned rug that includes touches of dark brown and a bright accent color with a light neutral color.
4. Cover the windows with roller shades or curtains that complement the wall color and rug. Incorporate the same pattern as in the rug or use curtains the same color as the walls for a seamless look.
5. Hang wall decor that pulls the colors, theme and style together. This might include black-and-white family or skyline photos, colorful artwork or framed fabric that matches the rug, curtains or other accessories.
6. Accessorize the room with functional and decorative items that add color, texture and character. Show off your book collection on bookshelves, particularly if they are leather-bound. Add decorative pillows and soft throws to the leather sofas. Include reading lamps, candles, flowers and other decorative items on the tables.
