White leather couches offer versatility in your paint choice.
Placing a white leather sofa in a living room, den or family room gives the designer a virtual blank canvas when deciding on a paint color for the walls. The geographic setting and style of the home can influence the room's overall theme and ultimate paint choice as well. Consider your options before buying a white leather sofa, however, as such a couch is difficult to keep clean.
Ocean-Themed
Create an ocean theme in your living room or den, and complement the white leather couch by painting the walls various shades of light blue or green. Re-create the ocean waters by choosing paint colors like sea-foam green or a light aquamarine. For an added touch, stencil ocean-themed images onto the wall's border, like seashells or starfish. Use the ocean-inspired colors for a beach or waterfront home.
Black & White
For a decidedly modern setting, try a black-and-white interior. Match the white leather couch with stark white paint. Counterbalance the white walls with black-and-white photography or a minimalist modern art piece with black paint splashes. For a truly bold look, paint an accent wall black, alternate the walls between black and white, or paint a wall with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern.
Earth Tone
Offset the white leather couch by establishing a rustic interior for your living room or family room. Choose earth-tone colors for the walls, such as dark oranges, yellows or reds. Colors like chocolate brown or sage green provide an outdoorsy feel as well. The style complements rustic decors found in such settings as mountain cabins, craftsman bungalow homes and industrial-themed lofts.
Tropical Pastels
White leather couches match with any pastel color. To produce a tropical feel for your living room, pick out pastel colors, such as light yellow, blue or green, for the walls. Add artwork, including paintings depicting tropical flowers and birds, to the walls as well. The overall decor is reminiscent of settings found in an island or beachfront home.
