Leather sofas and armchairs are making a big comeback in living rooms! Indeed, the leather sofa is ideal for creating a warm and elegant atmosphere in this room, which is why we love it. It warms up the space and is quite easy to integrate. Indeed, depending on the type of leather and its color, the sofa goes with all styles of decoration: vintage, Scandinavian, industrial, bohemian … From light brown to cognac shades, this type of sofa brings character to your room . For a more assertive decor, we choose it aged and more massive, but for a powdery and luminous style, a soft leather will be ideal.
For a trendy and warm interior, we love the leather sofa! Find out how to adopt it in the decor of your living room.
1. Copper pendant lights for your living room
Copper accents are all the rage right now, whether it’s copper desk lamps in the office or tin cans in the kitchen. This visual illustrates how amazing copper globe pendants like these look in tandem with a brown leather sofa. Tone and shine are in harmony. Plus, a cool gray background is a more modern alternative to the traditional, obvious treatment of cream-colored walls we’ve seen to death around brown sofas in years past.
2. Mid-century modern living room
In a mid-century modern living room, a reddish brown sofa can be visually refreshed with a gray rug and a gray accent chair. A duo of marble coffee tables completes the look.
3. Living room decor with earthy tone palettes
Earthy tone palettes are always a safe bet when working with brown sofas, and can be very effective. A natural-colored rug and wooden floor make the perfect base for a brown sectional sofa, and the natural greenery provides a stunning contrast. Painting a wall in cool white is a good idea so that the whole thing doesn’t get too confusing.
4. Living room decoration with black bookcase
Curtains do not need to match the color of the sofa or sofa cushions; here the selection of randomly sized pillows is made up of cool medium brown undertones on a rich warm brown sofa. Two armchairs reflect the silhouette of the sofa rather than the color of its upholstery, while a black bookcase matches its slender black legs.
5. Chic living room with chrome floor lamps
This two-tone sectional sofa features brown and gray volumes. The interior decoration of the room was therefore articulated around this combination of modern colors. A living wall enhances the muted vibe with a strip of bright green. Chrome floor lamps and stainless steel coffee tables are perfect for adding a little sparkle. When using darker shades on furniture and walls, consider keeping the floor and ceiling white to keep a feeling of space and air.
6. Brown leather chesterfield sofa
The multiple shades of brown of a herringbone solid wood floor are the perfect accompaniment to a brown chesterfield sofa. Gray cushions and curtains balance it out.

You can tone your sofa with a rug, but don’t forget to introduce a brighter accent color to it. Also leave a small border between the sofa and the matching rug to let them visually “breathe”.

A brick wall painted black gives a young and edgy look.

The Nakki brown leather sofa from the Scandinavian furniture and decor brand Woud offers a unique and original style. It seems to have been inflated like a beach mattress.

In this living room, it is presented alongside the small Stedge wall shelf.
