Brown Leather Sofas

By Darlings Of Chelsea

With a range of different types of leather available on our sofas, we are able to spoil customers for choice when it comes to colours. For the modern home, white leather is popular, perfectly complementing a chic and minimalist designer lifestyle. At the opposite end of the spectrum, many households choose black. But both these options play second fiddle to brown leather sofas – the undisputed number one colour of choice for anybody searching for the ‘classic’ leather sofa look.

Brown Leather Sofas

A brown leather sofa retains a degree of neutrality, so it looks at home in modern living spaces just as much as it looks the part in an older, more traditional setting.

There’s something about a brown leather sofa too which feels vintage and homely – just like the worn, lived-in sofa at the pub that is comfortably the best seat in the house! Not only that but brown leather sofas are also relatively easy to style!

To achieve that same lived-in, vintage look over time, aniline leather would be our recommendation. That’s because aniline leather retains the hide’s natural grain and distresses beautifully over the years.

We also offer semi-aniline leathers, which provide many of the benefits of aniline leather but with additional protection in the form of a thin protective topcoat designed to shield the leather from staining. This type of leather is ideal for a carefree, on the go lifestyle, and protects the investment you have made in your sofa.

If distressed, vintage leather isn’t your thing, and you prefer a more uniform colour for a contemporary look, we can create a perfect brown leather sofa from pigmented leather. In this case, the leather has a more consistent colour and is embossed with a subtle artificial grain. It’s our most durable leather too, resistant against pretty much anything modern life can throw at it.

All our leathers come in a range of colours, but one of the most desirable and popular remains the Forest Brown – a lovely, waxy aniline leather in a great, rich hue. Of course, though we also offer deeper, chocolate brown tones and a range of lighter brown leather sofas too – rest assured that once you’ve decided on ‘brown’, there’s still a world of choice available to you!

Some of our best-loved brown leather sofas include the Sloane and our traditional sofa range. Both offer simple, clean designs suitable for contemporary and traditional living spaces alike.

The Sloane Range

The Sloane sofa features wide armrests and deep seats, making it ideal for chilled-out lounging, while the Knightsbridge is more classically proportioned.
