Been following Melissa Koh‘s Instagram, straight away I fell in love with the leather sofa she has at her home. It is a bold statement piece where you need careful accessories to the surrounding to prevent a dull home.
A traditional leather sofa is dark by nature so the easiest way to balance that out is to accent and/or surround it with plenty of light for desirable contrast. A paler hue on the walls, soft cream or white accent pillows, and/or a light or white coffee table will accomplish just that!
Another way to minimize the visual weight of a set of leather furniture is to break it up. Keep the sofa and find a place for the other pieces. Supplement with upholstered chairs for a chic and collected look instead of a matchy one.
For those of you who live with leather sofas or chairs, how do you accessorize or decorate around it?
xoxo, Joe
