leather gives any space a luxe look, from refined to rustic
Leather home accessories—real or faux—add a warm, luxurious and timeless touch to interiors. The natural texture and rich leather tones create a sense of sophistication that complements various styles, from contemporary to comfortable. Leather is durable and ages beautifully, often developing a patina that adds character.
1. cushy seating
Don’t let the clean lines and square edges fool you. This boxy profile sofa offers sink-right-in comfort thanks to its movement-friendly Pirelli webbing and highdensity foam cushions. Details include French seams and an extra-low back. The fullgrain, aniline-dyed Italian leather will develop a unique patina as it collects markings and texture from everyday use, and each unique hide will vary in color. Wyat 92” Full-Grain Genuine Italian Leather Square Arm Sofa, $3,399, wayfair.com
2. faux glow
A band of faux leather with casual stitching wraps each of these delicate mouth-blown glass hurricanes, giving them a rustic charm. Designed to hold flameless candles, these vessels come in multiple sizes. One looks great on its own but create a grouping, indoors or out, to create a flickering tableau of light.

Fully wrapped in luxe leather, these seats offer a sleek take on the classic French Parsons chair with crisp, tailored lines.
