Decorating with Gray Leather Furniture: How to Elevate Your Space

Picking out the furniture for a room is a big decision. With the many options available on the market today, it's easy to get overwhelmed or downright frustrated.

Want to make the process a lot easier? You can't go wrong with gray leather furniture. 

Even though is not technically a color, gray is an excellent choice for basically everything from sofas to cocktail ottomans. Here are a few advantages to consider:

• It's low-maintenance - It doesn't require the same upkeep as white furniture, so you won't have to ask guests to watch their drinks every two seconds.

• Gray ties colors together - That means you'll have a lot of creative freedom when decorating your home.

Decorating with gray furniture can help you create a sophisticated and intimate decor for your house.

Here are some tips that will ensure you get the best results without overspending.

How to Combine Colors

Gray provides a great neutral base that allows you to have fun with a wide variety of colors.

The key is to create a balance and add focal points in a room.

For instance, a Moroccan white fabric rug would perfectly complement a gray leather sectional sofa and bring a room together.

Here are some color ideas, so that you can get a better idea of just how versatile gray is.

• Blush Pink - Add focal points in this shade of pink. The color goes extremely well with gray leather furniture and softens out any room.

• Metallic Accents - For a more modern look, choose gold or silver textures and patterns.

• Bright Strokes of Color - White, yellow, hot coral, turquoise, acid greens - these all blend in beautifully with gray furniture.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different color schemes to find the best fit for your space.

Use Different Hues of Gray

Whoever said neutrals are boring has most likely never heard of layering.

Play with different tones of gray to create an interesting look to a room.

The secret to making a room more interesting is to layer different textures. Here are a few examples of textures you can use:

• Knits - Knitted pillows, knitted rugs, chunky throws.

• Fluff - Anything from furry carpets to fluffy pillows will do a great job adding interest to gray leather furniture.

• Wainscoting - If you have white walls, this will help you create a dimensional look and brighten up the room even more.

Gray Leather Furniture Is a Smart Investment

One of the best things about using gray furniture is it is incredibly easy to transform the look of a room according to trends or seasons. It's also cheap since all you'll have to do is just change the accessories.

That makes it a great purchase for the future. 

All in all, there's no reason to stay away from gray when picking out leather furniture. Whether you're looking for a formal or a more eccentric look, gray is your safest bet.
