I am buying a very expensive leather sofa. What color is the most timeless in leather ( black?, Brown?)??
Question:I was thinking of espresso, blck, or dark brown
Answers:
Black is always timeless..It goes with everything, and anything..Brown however you need to be careful because shades of brown can be very different when you choose your accessories...good luck
The greater concern, I think, is the style of the furniture. Some black leather sofas from the 80s really look like black leather sofas from the 80s while others look totally up to date. If you stick with a more traditional style, either will work.
That said, however, I generally tend to think of brown as being more timeless. That is due in part to the fact that I associate black with a more modern style. That's not to say that black can't fit into a traditional style... it's just not generally MY association.
Since we always have wood in our houses, we always have brown. I suppose that's something to consider.
Dark brown and espresso are/have been considered to be the traditional/transitional colors which will never go out of style. Since they are both considered as neutrals, you can't go wrong. They are visually "comfortable" in many designs and you will have a wide range of complementary colors and design styles. Dark brown invokes a more traditional feel, the classic, yet easily mixes with black such as an entertainment center to bring it to date. Espresso invokes a more transitional/casual feel, at the same time, mixes well with traditional or modern pieces.
Black is great in modern/transitional design, but your choice of complementary colors/styles may be a bit more limited.
When you buy your leather piece(s), don't forget to condition them with a professional grade leather conditioner and cleaner to keep them soft, supple, and stain resistant.
Brown would be my pick..A much warmer color, that anything will go with it...Black is too heavy, brown is much better...
Espresso and dark brown are colors that are either in or out of fashion, depending on the current trends. Black has more staying power.
brown is more attractive rather than black-
yes, black is all time color -... but nowadays its too boring, everyone will have their leather sofa in black -
expresso quite interesting too ...
for me its mixed classic & stylish
