Decorating Ideas With Leather


Decorating Ideas with Leather Furniture


Leather furniture is something many of us aspire to have in our homes: whether it is in the living room, lounge, dining room, or bedroom. Leather is the epitome of luxury and is also natural, durable, and ideal for any home, especially if you have kids and/or pets. There are 3 different types of leather to choose from, and each one has its own unique set of properties from the hardest wearing to the softest and most luxurious.

So, how can you go about using it in your home? The options can be endless so the first thing to decide is what type of space you want to create. The atmosphere you want to create in your home is of the utmost importance - warm, cozy and sunny, or perhaps all clean lines with minimal colours. Nick Scali Furniture has been providing quality leather furniture in Australia for 50 years and has so many colours and styles to choose from, you’ll have plenty of design options.

Modern Decorating Ideas with Leather Furniture


If you are interested in a more modern look for your home, then choosing the correct leather furniture is a must. For example, the Nick Scali Linea swivel chair is made from wood and 100% genuine leather and comes in a variety of colours including black, white, red and grey. It is a great idea to use this kind of chair with something that has similar lines, but made from a different fabric or colour. For instance, use the white occasional chairs and pair two of them with something like the Dolly Corner Modular. Tie it all together with a beige or grey rug.


Decorating Ideas with Leather Furniture in the Dining Room
If you are looking to do the same in your dining room, the only place you can really use leather is for the dining chairs, so be sure to pick striking chairs like the stainless steel and black leather Nilda. To pull off a modern look that is not too boring, pick a dining table that is in contrast to the chairs, so for example, the Maggie dining table which features frosted glass.


Simple Decorating Ideas with Leather Furniture

One thing that some people struggle with when decorating a room with leather furniture is how to keep the look simple. Leather can easily dominate a room and become stale and stodgy, so to ensure that you get a simple, light, comfortable look, choose pieces that fit your room well and combine a single leather piece with other textures. For instance, make your red Nick Scali sofa like the Opus or the Chloe, the focal feature of your room, and choose 2 single chairs in a different, neutral tone to flank the leather sofa. Use a bright, simple rug to tie it all together, and complement the pieces with a glass coffee table.
