How to Decorate With a Berry Red Leather Couch

Paint the walls in soft, neutral colors that accent the couch and play up your decorating theme. A country room would look good with a buttery yellow or soft tan. Contemporary designs look clean and sleek with white or very pale gray.

Cover your floor with a rug in a pattern that is mostly neutral, midtone colors, but has a few sparks of red. A braided country rug, Oriental pattern or abstract print would all work to balance a red couch.

Choose furniture with a medium brown finish if your decor is country or traditional. Black or light wood will play up a modern or Asian theme.

Set decorative pillows on your sofa, choosing patterned cushions that have small shots of red. Florals, stripes and abstracts can all work, depending on the style of your room.

Hang artwork that picks up on the berry red color, providing balance to your room.

Light your room with an interesting overhead chandelier, ceiling fan or Tiffany hanging lamp to provide another point of interest to the room.

Display favorite collections on shelves, mantles or side tables to harmonize the room and draw the eye throughout.

Warm your red sofa by tossing a wool or fabric throw blanket across the back. Choose a throw that mirrors colors in the toss pillows, so your couch has a finished look.
