Things We Love: Aged Leather


Decorpad
What do you think of when you hear the word leather? Do patched biker jackets come to mind? Or overstuffed recliners with cup holders in the arm rests? If so, just know, this isn't that kind of leather. Broken in, worn, aged to perfection. This is our kind of leather.

There's nothing like buttery soft broken in leather. It's so masculine and sexy but also so comfy.

Love a well-worn leather chair. I would love to curl up on in one of these with a good book! I don't think today will be the day for relaxing, but thank goodness the weekend is almost here!

I love each one these rooms, especially the first one. So cozy, I have a buttery leather chair with ottoman right next to the fireplace in my family room. With a throw over the back of it, this chair is one of my favorite places to read. Inspiring post!

So many fantastic examples of worn leather...but that man's study (assuming it's a man's study) painted black. Well, hello...I think I'll stay a while!

I like this, a chair or two. I have to say that I am not a fan of big leather sofa.
Happy weekend.

From the very start of my decorating biz, my image library has included a photo of a battered and worn cognac leather French Club Chair. Perfection.

I love a worn leather. My favorite chair in my home is a big Henredon leather chair. I've had it for 17 years and it gets better with age!

Love worn leather...something so timeless and inviting. I really liked the study/den with the black fireplace and leather chair. Get me my tea and my book and I'm there, with my feet up!
Happy Friday.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous, you simply cannot go wrong with a vintage brown leather armchair.

I'm particularly obsessing over the shot from Marie Olsson Nylander's home - LOVE the all-white backdrop and ethnic-y throw cushions.

so spot on! adore aged leather,

Leslie said...

You got me on this one! Huge leather fan - boots, pants, skirts, and furniture!! The soften and more worn the better. Believe it or not, I have a section white leather couch in my family room and two dogs .. and they come up (on their blankets) to snuggle. It cleans well if the right products are used and is much warmer than people might guess.

Aged leather is a perfect addition to any room proportionately, of course. It just depends on the item. It adds character and texture and color to a mix of styles and elements and that is always a good thing.
