Reader’s question

"I am decorating my living room and I have a problem with how to match colors in my living room and dining room. I have a cream colored sofa and walnut dining table. The dining chairs have leather seat with walnut legs. In your opinion what color leather to choose, black or cream? Could I choose some other color, brown for example? I am not fan of pure white color. The space is approximately 40sqm and relatively bright and the floor tiles are in pale beige color.”

Our recommendation

The neutral cream color of the sofa pairs practically with all colors. Wood is also a material that can be combined with all colors and fabrics.

However, we recommend you to choose for the seats either fabric or leather in cream color, which is a more youthful and optimistic choice. Black leather is proper for more official spaces, such as offices.
