Proceed with extreme caution as leather sofas are often found on porno sets. No need to freak out your valentine when you bring her over with something that looks like it was used in Boob Lovers 9. Steer clear of the infamous black leather sofa. It screams Florida Panhandle and college! Keep it simple. For the best type of leather couches look no further than styles that date from Victorian era straight through to the roaring 20s. This window ranks as my favorite. It harkens back to the days of college eating clubs, football scrums, and afterparties that would make Jay Gatsby green with envy.
This modern-yet-classic piece from Design Within Reach will cost you a pretty penny, but just picture a pretty Penny sipping a dark and stormy with you while Miles Davis plays you into the morning.
There’s something about a gamine in a party dress draped over the arm of a leather couch that makes life worth the living. I also wouldn’t rule out a Mid-Century number (something from the 50s to early 60s), like the kind you’ll find in Don Draper’s office. Now that guy knows something about style.
