Couches - Living Room

We are going to have cherry floors and cream colored walls in our living room. We are going to get new couches and would get leather.


What color leather would you do?

Would tan couches be too light or chocolate couches be too dark?

I want something that isn't going to go out of style in a year either.

Re: Couches - Living Room

I think since your walls are lightly colored you could go for a darker leather.

what about carmel or cognac...or even red to bring out the floors a bit??

Brown all the way. Not a fan of tan leather. The chocolate is just cozier to me.

ETA: I know they are not leather, but you get the idea.

Re: Couches - Living Room

We have light tan ones now and even with cleaning them they just look so blah.

I have 2 little ones and dogs that shed a lot so I feel that leather is easiest to clean. (If anyone has other suggestions please let me know)

Thanks for adding the actual pic...the couches do look nice.
