Living Rooms with Leather Sofas
Hi all,
We are thinking of buying some leather furniture for our Living room.
I was thinking a leather sofa (that seats 3) and opposite it having 2 matching club chairs. Then maybe another 2 chairs (not leather for additional seating).
However, my DH wants to have 1 club chair and a love seat. Basically a 3, 2, and a 1 seater.
The set we are looking at also has a matching leather coffee table. We are undecided if this what we want to do. Would it be too matchy?
Anyways, I thought you ladies would give some good opinions. If you have any pictures of living rooms with leather furniture, please post them as well.
eta I meant to say the matching leather coffee table is really an ottoman.

Re: Living Rooms with Leather Sofas
You could do ottomans/coffee table that are microfiber and accented with a leather "feel." I saw them at Jennifer Convertables yesterday -- really nice and I think $175.
Basically, it's a little microfiber square but the top comes off and can be flipped over to turn into a coffee table. The accents its got when you flip it over to a coffee table would compliment leather nicely.

That is exactly what I am looking for! I need to go to Jennifer Convertibles. We just bought a leather sectional and are looking for ottomans that can be converted into a coffee table.

I went to Jennifer Convertibles over the weekend. Saw a few convertible coffee table/tray with leather that we really liked. They said it would take 14 weeks to get a custom one made if we were going to match it to the leather sofa we are buying.
I was thinking maybe we should just buy the matching leather ottoman and put a tray on top when we need it. The storage inside is excellent.
If anyone else has a living room or den with leather sofas, can you please post it?

Re: Living Rooms with Leather Sofas
personally, i think that is too much matchy-matchy going on.
i would do: a leather sofa, 2 non-leather chairs, and a non-leather coffee table.

ETA: I'm trying to find you pictures
This isnt a good angle, but you can see the microfiber sofa, leather loveseat, and leather club chair.

I would not recommend Jennifer Leather.
I had the worst problems with them. They have TONS of complaints with the DA.

Re: Living Rooms with Leather Sofas
its a little tooo much leather- I think the chairs should be ups. Thats my imo.
You could pull of the look though if you use a few fabric throw pillows

How does 4 leather club chairs and one upholstered sofa sound?

Re: Living Rooms with Leather Sofas
I have a brown/tan leather Natuzzi set. We have the couch loveseat and chair (doesn't recline). We have a glass cocktail and end table. I think you should get a different table/ottoman to break up the room a bit. Maybe a wood chest or something like that. I think that might be too much leather and matches to much. You need to bring other fabrics or material into the room with th efurniture.
