A contemporary room with leather & wood - Ideal Home, Britain's best-selling homes magazine

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
