Decorate your leather sofa to add a pop of color to your home or to create a cohesive style. Placing a leather sofa in your living room instantly gives the space a sophisticated look. Use decor to evoke the feel of the room; for example, with the right accessories, your living room can have an elegant library vibe or a natural allure. A leather sofa sets the tone and becomes the backdrop for many types of living room styles and themes.
Instructions
Soften the look of a leather sofa and provide comfort for family members and household guests by placing a throw blanket over the top of the sofa. Choose a blanket made of a soft, warm fabric, such as cashmere or chenille. Choose colors and patterns that coordinate with your living room decor; if the sofa is a dark shade, lighten the look by choosing a butter yellow or muted orange blanket.
Enhance your leather sofa with decorative pillows for additional style and comfort. Choose pillows that match your throw blanket for a cohesive look. For example, if you have a yellow blanket on a brown leather couch, choose a pillow featuring a pattern with shades of yellow, green and white.
Draw attention to your leather sofa by placing a floor vase on the side of it. Place a sleek silver vase filled with tall white flowers on the side of a black sofa for a sophisticated, modern look or a carved wood vase filled with fresh-cut wildflowers near a brown sofa for a rustic, natural look.
Hang artwork and pictures to draw attention to empty wall space above your leather sofa. If you have a black leather sofa, choose black-and-white images or old movie posters for a vintage look. You can also place existing artwork in a black frame or use black matting so that it complements the dark sofa.
Use your leather sofa as a backdrop for holiday decor. During the winter holidays, place a wool blend throw blanket featuring a snowy scene or festive colors on the couch; add decorative pillows to match. During the spring, lighten up the look by choosing a pastel-colored cotton blanket or pillows with a fresh floral design.
