Unexpected Ways to Add Leather to Your Place

The surprisingly versatile material brings a cool, clubby feel to any room

When you think of decorating your home with leather, perhaps your first thought goes straight to the leather sofa or old school club chair. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Those are both timeless and masculine pieces, but there's so much more you can do with this versatile material.

The rich, tanned hides are inherently luxurious. They're smooth, warm and tactile—inviting you to run your hand across the surface. No matter your personal style or budget, there are now copious amounts of leather pieces available to upgrade your place. Designers from Nate Berkus to Sebastian Zuchowicki often pull unexpected items upholstered in leather to add intrigue to their rooms. Over time, these items—from ottomans and accent chairs to benches—develop an added layer of worn-in patina to make them feel even cooler. So they're worth the investment since they'll truly only get better with age. Ready to try a piece or two? We've pulled together some of our current favorites, all available to ship right to your door.
