How to style a tan leather sofa
Timeless, sophisticated, comfortable; there are countless reasons to love a tan leather sofa, making this luxurious style a worthy investment if you're looking to upgrade your living room lounge. The versatile piece will grow with you as your taste and decor change over time—and because leather is a durable material that only gets better with age, a tan leather sofa can withstand all sorts of living scenarios. Here, our Head of Styling Vanessa shows us how the hero piece can be adapted to bring a calm, cosy or tailored look to your space.
Calm
"Create a sense of calm by minimising the contrast between your leather sofa and other elements in the room. Stick to cushions and throws cast in a serene mix of neutral and pastel tones, and pair these with pieces made from natural materials such as a jute or wool rug and timber nesting tables. For a relaxing finishing touch, style your room with decorative foliage and organic shapes that hint at the outside world."
Cosy
"To amplify the warm feel of tan leather, layer your sofa with sunset tones such as terracotta, amber and earthy pink, then introduce golden accents with a floor lamp or coffee table. Tactile fabrics are key to creating a cosy look and can be incorporated via fringed cushions, a woven throw, or a traditional Persian-style rug that delivers inviting visual texture."
Tailored
"For a refined living room look, pair your leather sofa with rich colours that complement its caramel tone—navy blue and emerald green work really well. Use cushions to add a sense of luxury by opting for opulent textiles such as velvet, and decorate with confidently shaped accessories in minimal materials like glass and metal to maintain the strong, structured look."
