Inspired by Nature

  Combine your brown leather sofa with shades of green to bring the outdoors in and create a colorful, natural-looking space. Take inspiration from either your own garden or pictures of country gardens. Dress the couch with floral-patterned cushions and, if you choose to have other seating options, such as a green chair, add brown cushions to tie all the seating together. Use browns, rusty reds and burnt oranges for a fall-inspired look, and lighter, sunnier colors such as sunflower yellow and hazy blue for a more summery feel.
  
  

Cozy and Relaxed

  There is something extremely inviting and cozy about a brown leather sofa. It is somewhere you can collapse at the end of a hard day with a good book, or watch movies while socializing with friends. If you are a book worm, surround your sofa with bookcases and shelves crammed with books. Add a small, dark wood table to pop your coffee on and create a cozy library feel. If you are more interested in your home cinema system and love to surround yourself with friends, a brown leather corner couch is ideal, as it has enough seating for everyone to enjoy movies and chat.
  
  

Eclectic

  Eclectic style decor combines a range of periods, styles, textures and finishes. The dominant color scheme should be fairly neutral to prevent the eclectic elements of the room from creating a cluttered, over-bearing appearance. Therefore, a brown leather sofa is the perfect starting point. If the sofa is a very dark brown, add some furniture in a lighter wood and vice-versa. Any other seating in the room should be very different from the brown leather. Eclectic decor is all about individual pieces brought together to create a cohesive finished effect.
  
  

Period Styles

  If you prefer a more formal, classic look, then period decor is the style for you. A brown leather sofa works beautifully with any period style. The elaborately carved, dark wood furniture that features heavily in styles such as Baroque, Victorian and Rococo complement the brown leather. Tudor and Jacobean styles feature Medieval design elements and the rich textures and use of wood also complement a brown leather sofa. Even if your brown sofa is a more modern style, its neutral color and natural material means it will fit comfortably into almost any decor style.
