A leather sofa design brings a note of grandeur and sophistication to any space with minimal effort.

There are sofas and then there are leather sofas. A leather sofa design that is alluring and comfortable is a chic update to a space. Precisely why many homeowners prefer to invest in a durable, high-quality sofa with beautiful leather upholstery. And once you’ve experienced the charm of a leather sofa, there’s no going back. Yet, we know that it’s an art to do up a space with the latest leather sofa design. So, here we are with our design ideas.

Edgy Leather Sofa Design For Industrial Interiors

A leather sofa design works well for a living room with industrial-style interiors. The brown shade blends with the aesthetics of the overall space which comprises the brick-cladding wall, wooden flooring, freestanding bookshelf, veneer-finish modular kitchen, coffee table and the TV unit with open shelves. The sofa is definitely an edgy addition to the room, isn’t it? And this is a good time to remind you that a sofa and a couch are not the same.

The luxury quotient of a room goes up instantly when you spot a leather sofa with a recliner. We love how the recliner makes for a relaxing atmosphere in the earthy tone of the room.
