Question We have a large oak entertainment center and are considering purchasing a living room suite that is leather. We need help in selecting what color of leather would best compliment the oak wood. Our walls are a light tan and the fire place is white with traditional brick. We like the traditional look with a little bit of country.
Answer Hi Greg, I would choose a leather that is a dark carmel brown or milk chocolate colour. The best type of leather for the look you're going for would be to select a worn in, aged leather. Don't go for the shiny smooth type, it'll create a more contemporary feel.
I also offer an 'Ask the Decorator' service on my website. I would be happy to be of further assistance to you if needed.
Thank you, for your time.
