I tend to favor a very sleek and modern look and often use a lot of off-white, black, and beige in my interiors. Recently though I saw some bright colored leather pieces in a showroom that really caught my eye. In particular I absolutely loved this club chair that was a sort of citrus yellow with an ever so slight touch of green—I just thought it was really cool and it got me thinking of bright colors…apple red, orange…these are great colors for any interior.
I think they are especially great for traditionally styled rooms since they can really add freshness. For rooms with lots of patterns I think colored leather is a great accent for the pattern colors by combining them with coordinating colored leather. You don’t even need to get a big leather couch to do this—think pillows, side chairs, desk chairs…
I’ve also noticed more and more parallels between fashion and home. All these preppy blues and reds really bring to mind Ralph Lauren and the whole preppy look…I think it’s so fun and refreshing to introduce those kinds of colors and move away from the white-beige scheme for moment.
Here are a few great eBay colored leather finds!
