At Florida Leather Gallery, we know that not everyone has the same taste in furniture and interior design, which is why we carry a wide variety of leather furniture brands, colors, and styles. To those who aren’t in the know, it might feel like leather furniture is one-size-fits-all, but in fact, there are plenty of ways to style leather furniture differently. Here are a few examples to get your creative juices flowing.

Leather Pieces for a Traditional Style

Often when we think of leather furniture, we picture a classic, traditional decorating style, which is typically more masculine. Dark leather sofas done in the Chesterfield style, with tufted cushions and carved wooden feet are indicative of this traditional decorating style. Deep burgundy wingback chairs in a supple pure aniline leather or antique-looking ottomans help complete the look. Using leather in a traditional decor style helps bring a masculine, authoritative feel to dens, offices, and living rooms. Go out on a limb with statement pieces like a leather executive chair or a leather-lined partner’s desk for emphasis.

Leather Pieces with a More Modern Look

Of course, leather furniture also lends itself quite nicely to a modern style. Our showrooms at Florida Leather Gallery are full of leather couches with sleek lines and a minimalist design that help each piece feel elegant, functional, and luxe. Types of leather furniture which benefit a modern aesthetic are low, rectangular couches with sharp edges in cooler colors like black, blue, and light gray. Another way to style for a modern vibe is to use protected aniline leather in a crisp white. Maximize the effect by fully committing to the concept—have your chairs done in white leather, your sofas, even maybe your coffee table. Bring in a pop of color by choosing a statement dye like bright red, yellow, or even green for one of the smaller, singular pieces.

Leather Pieces that are Soft and Romantic

One of the newest emerging trends in leather is curved lines. Kidney bean-shaped couches and soft, supple, half-moon settees lend a gentle, romantic vibe to any space. For this look, you’ll want more worn-in, warmer shades of leather like a buttery camel or a saddle tone with a nice patina on the finish of the leather. The romantic look is all about being inviting, about coaxing your guests to have a seat and stay awhile. Borrowing from the   in terms of other decorating choices—lighting, using other natural materials, creating quaint little nooks in the space—will help reinforce this type of styling choice, which we love for a bedroom or a library.

Leather Pieces that are Throwback and Retro

Last but not least, leather furniture can help you achieve a much bolder, artsy vision—using your space to evoke entire eras of design. Choose a western-style sectional and pair it with a genuine cowhide rug and rustic wooden furniture for an old-school cowboy vibe. Center a seductive and curvy chaise lounge and accent your space with shag rugs, leather, mirrored side tables and chandeliers for a 70s feel. And of course, there is always the mid-century modern look. Eames-inspired chairs and tables done in fine bright leather, with an emphasis on pop art, burnished natural wood, and quirky shapes throughout the space.
