Best choices for leather sofas
1. Faux fur pillows.
Faux fur pillows add a touch of luxury to any sofa and look especially good with a leather sofa. If you want your living room to have a glamorous feel, choose pillows in a rich, jewel-toned color. For a casual look, go with pillows in a neutral shade like cream or gray.

Velvet is another luxurious fabric that looks beautiful with a leather sofa. Like faux fur, velvet comes in many different colors, so you can choose pillows that match your décor or go for a bolder look with contrasting colors. Either way, velvet pillows are sure to make your leather sofa look even more stylish.
3. Patterned pillows.
If you want to add some visual interest to your leather sofa, choose pillows with an interesting pattern or design. Geometric patterns are always popular, but you can also find patterned pillows in floral or abstract designs. Make sure the pillow’s colors coordinate well with the leather sofa, so the overall look is balanced and stylish.
what to avoid
Any type of smooth fabric (such as silk) should be avoided because it will effortlessly slide right off leather and onto the ground– something that is bound to agitate anyone.
Similarly, you need a more substantial pillow for a poly-filled couch so that it will stay in place and not look out of proportion. And to inject some light into a dark leather sofa, lighter neutrals, or any strong COLOR is the way to go with pillows.
Conclusion:
When it comes to choosing pillows for a leather sofa, you have many different options to choose from. Faux fur, velvet, and patterned pillows are all great choices that will make your leather sofa look even more stylish and inviting.
