Leather in the interior is one of the latest design trends. Now it is used almost everywhere - from furniture to decoration, accessories and decor. The reason this material is so popular among designers is the ability to add individuality to the interior.
Features of using leather in the interior
Traditionally, leather in the interior is considered a symbol of luxury and respectability. It always attracts attention and becomes a central design element. At the same time, leather is a multifaceted material that allows you to implement non-standard ideas.
The traditional way of using leather is the upholstery of sofas, poufs, armchairs, headboards and chairs. But the range of options for its application is constantly expanding. Nowadays it is fashionable to decorate wall panels, floors, ceilings, cabinet furniture, etc. with leather elements.
The warm and soft texture of the leather goes well with wood, metal, glass, natural stone, and ceramics. Thanks to modern technologies, a huge selection of color palettes has appeared, which allows you to create bright accents using leather interior items.
Leather is an integral part of the classic interior and art deco style. But today designers skillfully combine this material with almost all styles and trends, including modern ones.
Leather furniture and interior items
Leather is most often used to make furniture. Compared to mass-produced fabric upholstery, it looks more status-conscious and advantageous.
Leather sofas
A classic sofa upholstered in black or brown leather looks strict and respectable. It is the dominant element in the interior. A white leather sofa in a classic style will look lighter and more elegant.
The abundance of models of leather sofas of different shapes, designs and shades allows you to combine them with modern minimalist interiors, and industrial, ethnic, Scandinavian styles, etc.
Leather chairs
A leather sofa can be complemented with a pair of armchairs to create a single composition. But a chair can also be an independent piece of furniture, especially if it has an unusual design. A good example is a leather rocking chair - a symbol of comfort and harmony.
Dinner chairs
The ideal dining area is one that is comfortable, cozy and beautiful. It’s not at all difficult to make it look like this if you choose soft leather chairs. For a neoclassical interior, chairs with wooden legs are suitable, and for a modern design, a more contrasting combination of a textured leather seat with cool metal legs.
Chests of drawers and nightstands with leather inserts
Decorative leather inserts are used for chests of drawers, cabinets and consoles. Such designer pieces of furniture become real art objects. They look original and bring elegance and uniqueness to the interior.
Leather decor
Clocks and mirrors on leather hangers, photo frames, boxes and other decorative elements with leather inserts will add the final accents and fill the interior with life. They are clearly not striking, but give the design a special mood.
Tips for using leather in the interior
- Consider the style and character of the interior. Furniture made of leather in dark shades makes the interior more austere, so it is well suited for a study. To prevent the room from looking gloomy, it is better to install it in places with sufficient lighting and complement it with light shades. Leather furniture in pastel colors will look harmonious in the bedroom or living room - rooms where everything should contribute to relaxation and a pleasant stay.
- Don't ignore the little things. The time for identical interiors and general rules for everyone has passed - now design values the individuality that decorative elements can give. If you decide to use leather in your interior, don't limit yourself to the sofa. Complete the composition with a coffee table, console and various types of accessories with leather inserts to create a solid and complete interior image.
- Use eco-leather in the interior. Recently, there has been a trend towards abandoning natural leather, associated with the growing movement to protect nature and animals. Modern technologies make it possible to create artificial eco-leather that qualitatively imitates the texture of natural material, while not being inferior to it in terms of performance characteristics. Eco-leather has a fabric base on which a polyurethane coating is applied. This material is characterized by durability, environmental friendliness and breathability. Designers value eco-leather for the ability to give it any shade.
- Take care of leather furniture. To extend the life of eco-leather furniture, do not install it near heating radiators. Be sure to choose mild care products and regularly wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth or microfiber. Do not use a hairdryer to dry your skin, as this can damage the upholstery.
