A contemporary living room with leather & wood

A super-chic combo of chocolate and duck-egg blue is a new classic that's here to stay.

Blend this colour combination with simple, well-designed furniture in good-quality leather and sleek, dark wood – and you've got a room that'll stay stylish
for years to come.



How to get the look

  • Keep it organic. Accessorise with smart wood frames, minimalist canvasses with simple designs, and plain textured ceramics.

  • Add soft shades. Keep the colour scheme balanced by lightening the dark leather and wood with duck-egg blue and oatmeal-coloured cushions and fabrics.

  • Go for modern shapes. A chunky, square, open shelving unit provides plenty of space for storage and display, and its sleek lines and quality design mean it will be an investment for the future
