Q: Can I put a black leather couch with a pair of brown leather seats: They are the same type of leather (smooth, tight seamed).
A: Suzan and I have conferred and this is what we advise. When using leather it is always best to pair it with the same color leather, or to pair leather with upholstery. For example you could pair brown leather chairs with an upholstered couch. But if you already have the black couch and a pair of brown leather chairs you can make it work by adding accents to pull it all together, maybe pillows on the couch that contain both black and brown. Then you could add other elements to the room that have a black and brown theme to make it a cohesive whole and the result would be cool.
