Ottoman Color - Help Requested!
We're looking at a large round leather ottoman to go with our L-shaped sectional in a small den. Would love your thoughts on the color leather. We won't put a rug there (allergies make wood floors a better option), so trying to find something that goes with the couch, the floor and the walls. With "1" being the very darkest leather and "5" being the lightest, which one would you choose?
Thanks!

Comments (11)No countertop, no vanity, monicakm. Only a pedestal sink, a toilet, and a shower stall. In another thread (urgent request for help with shower door design), I posted a floorplan of this tiny bathroom, and a "before" photo featuring the world's ugliest wallpaper, now blessedly gone. I fell in love with the detail tile, writersblock, and waited 8 weeks for it. It is made by a local tile company in Port Chester, NY. I was told that it is available nationally, though. I just googled to find the name, which I couldn't remember. I think it's Quemere. Their tile is available in dozens of colors and several finishes, and they have a glorious array of decorative detail and field tiles. It's the most beautiful stuff I've ever seen. Even the row-of-beads strip comes in 3 bead sizes....See MoreRequesting help choosing color for Roof!!

Comments (40)Your kitchen is gorgeous, the tile is simply stunning. I think the brown is perfect, it is sophisticated and bold, complements the tile perfectly, and makes the dark fridge recede to the eye. I like an earlier poster's suggestion of adding another cabinet over the fridge once you are certain of the fridge size. That will balance out the brown more. I think a dramatic change like that takes a while to get used to; I agree with others' suggestions to give it some time and allow your eye to get used to it. Then if you still hate it, a cream or tan would be a safe choice -- but not as bold or sophisticated....See MoreHelp Requested - Furniture + Colors for Open Living Room / Sunroom
Comments (2)Painting the whole house gray in a northern climate seems contrary to the warm, livable space you're trying to create. On dull, rainy, snowy days it may not be what you're looking for. With your beautiful, warm-colored floor I would look for a color that is warm in a light tone. You certainly don't want beige, but more something along the lines of a warm white tone. Gray has been so overused that it's quickly becoming dated, and the new trend now is color, so you might want to rethink your choice. I would look for beautiful rugs in warm colors (Oriental rugs are considered neutral and can be used with any style of furniture) and base your furniture choices and accent colors on that. You need to decide on your furniture layout before buying anything and measure the areas where you want your couch to go, for instance, so that you don't buy one that's too large for your space. Pay attention to the depth which on modern couches is often ridiculously deep (like 48 inches) and look for ones that are more along the lines of 35 to 36 inches. Buy leather only if you love it (and please DO NOT pick dark brown or black leather that goes with absolutely nothing in the room). Pick light, warm tones that will marry well with beautiful rugs and pillows. A warm-colored beige is a good option. One couch and two chairs, with the chairs in a different style (although the heights should pretty well match) would be a good start. A glass and metal coffee table would make your space look larger, and then you can have wood side tables (which don't have to match each other but should be close in height). This gives you the basics and you can then buy pillows based on the rug colors, and you'll want to add books and paintings to finish the look. Large plants are always a good accent; small plants should be grouped together if used at all since they have little impact in a large space....See MoreRelated Professionals

PRO7 months agolast modified: 7 months agoWhy show the leather on the floor, when the area rug needs to be added to the mix?
I'll bet there is a matching ottoman that coordinates with that sectional. That's what I would recommend you purchase and then place a sliding "over the ottoman" cocktail table to make the space work best.
Or you could select a more exotic ottoman and still have a coffee table slide over the ottoman so the space is functional.
Here is a tufted leather ottoman with a marble table that slides over the ottoman.

If you are looking for additional seating via an ottoman they can be difficult to use as they don't usually have much support. If this is your thinking I'd opt for large floor pillows that can rest on the outside of your couch until needed. Or get a couple of good poofs that are easily moved around the room, or even another room.

Looks like a nice cosy little corner...
I find #4 seems to be a nice tan that coordinates nicely with your hardwood floors. All you'll need to complete your decor is artwork on the wall.
