Having a white leather sofa is a classic look for any living room. It has that air of effortless elegance and contemporary cool, like our modern white leather sofa from the Santoro range which has a selection of white 2 and 3 seater sofas. But styling it up can be a bit of a challenge – not to mention worrying about stains and spills!
How can you add individuality, character and excitement to an all-white piece? Here are three simple ways you can accessorise your white leather sofa, featuring our favourite white sofa looks:
1. Style your white leather sofa around an all-white vibe
One way to style your white leather sofa is with…more white! This is a great way to brighten up your interiors and create a cool, calm atmosphere. For a beautiful monochrome look, mix in other similar shades like pale cream, ivory and soft greys. A few well-placed pops of silver, chrome and glass will enhance the minimal chic aesthetic – however, this is probably not a great option if you’ve got pets or little ones!
2. Use white to tone down bold colours and patterns
For the complete opposite look, pair bold colours, bright patterns and funky pieces with your white sofa. The sleek, simple lines of our Philo white leather corner sofa are ideal to soften the boldness of vibrant accent rugs. The addition of bright scatter cushions can keep things playful and fun. This is a fabulous look that’s casual, inviting and cheerful.
3. Opt for a black and white colour palette around your sofa
For a modern twist on a classic palette, add in dark brown or black accents to toughen up an all-white look. The juxtaposition of the delicate white upholstery with edgy cushion prints and studding details or can look stunning. Add in a bit of greenery for a subtle pop of colour.
