To think brown and cream leather don’t mix or match

[Lemons1571]

If you had a 2 seater dark brown leather sofa, could you buy a 2 seater cream sofa and make it work? Sofas would be in a neutral cream beige average lounge.

I think it would look awful but the person who wants this thinks it would be great and wants to spend £££ on it, so maybe I’m missing something...

I think it could look nice and personally would do it if they were the same or similar style.

I think it could work. I'm not a matching furniture kind of girl.

Dark brown and cream really wouldn't work. What a strange idea.

I think that could definitely work.

I think it would work.

It would look like tiramisu . I probably wouldn't tbh.

To some it would look great, to others not.
Personal taste so there is no correct answer.

It was a thing in the 1970's.

Hmm not sure about the 2 different leathers to be honest. We have a cream/beige fabric sofa and a dark sort of antique brown leather sofa with wooden floor, dark plum rug and f&b elephants breath on the walls together with cushions and other accessories in greys, heathers, pale blue and beiges. I think it all looks great together and not matchy matchy.

Should have specified maybe they could consider the 2 colours but try mixing up the materials.

I have cream trimmed with brown leather cushions going with my cream leather sofas. It works ok.

I wouldn’t. I would do a brown leather and teal velvet (for example) for a really eclectic look, but not the same sofa in two different colours. I feel like leather makes it worse?!

If you love it, who cares if it "matches". Eclectic is lovely!

Yes he is talking about two identical sofas, one dark brown leather (already has this) and one cream leather

Brown and cream go well. You could definitely make it work

No. I think it would look horrid. Sorry. Like the pp’s sugggstion of teal or another contrasting colour.

Sorry but cream leather sounds awful with anything

Horrible. But then I don't like cream leather furniture under any circumstances.

Yeah definitely works.

Sorry but I can’t see it working! That said I like black leather furniture. I could cope with the brown but the cream, no.

I can't see it working but I think it's because it's leather? I think you can get away with more with fabric sofas. I'm not a leather fan but don't hate the look in someone else's house (in just one colour though!) - I just think if they were fabric it could work. We used to have a light cream sofa and a darker beige one and with the right cushions, rug and throws etc it did work ok xx
