It continues to be used to make boots, jackets, gloves, and journals and looks oh-so-cool in the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you likely have spotted leather in clothing boutiques and bookstores, have you considered decorating with it in your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, leather decor is a surprisingly easy way to give your bedroom a bit of edge. If you\u2019re new to using this material as decor in your home, or within your sleep space, we\u2019re here with a guide that will show you how to incorporate leather into your bedroom, thanks to helpful tips from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yourhomebywendy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wendy Appleby<\/a>, owner and interior designer of Your Home by Wendy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choose-a-leather-hue\">Choose a leather hue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a club chair, dresser tray, or detailing on a throw pillow, Appleby says leathers in different hues can each communicate their own vibe in a space. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDark distressed leathers can add texture and a sense of coziness and warmth,\u201d she says, \u201cwhile \u2018cleaner\u2019 leathers add a feeling of modernism and order.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words: What kind of feel do you want to create in your bedroom with your leather decor? If you\u2019re all about cozy ambiance, sumptuous blankets, and other luxe touches, opt for darker leathers. But if you want your bedroom to feel contemporary and minimal, choose leathers in lighter colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-decide-how-much-to-include\">Decide how much to include<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With leather decor, you can either be subtle with it or go all-in. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to dial up or dial down the leather in your bedroom. For instance, for something small, Appleby recommends a catch-all tray for change and jewelry sitting on your dresser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let\u2019s say you\u2019d like to weave a hefty dose of leather into your sleep space. For this, Appleby says you can opt for a leather headboard and footboard to really make your bed stand out in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a leather&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture?types=standard+bed+frames%2Cplatform+bed+frames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bed frame<\/a>&nbsp;sounds perfect for your space, look to Saatva&#8217;s <span class=\"tooltip\" data-id=\"29948\">Siena leather platform bed frame<\/span> It&#8217;s made with sustainably-sourced material and comes in three leather choices:&nbsp;Slate Verona Leather and Black Verona Leather, both soft with a pebbled finish; and Espresso Antica Leather, which has a more distressed look.

Meanwhile, a leather wingback chair and ottoman draped in a pretty throw can add a softer touch.

It\u2019s a durable material that holds up, which means it can serve a practical function in your bedroom as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appleby says one way to bring together style and usefulness when it comes to leather is to place a leather bench at the foot of the bed. It\u2019s not only a great place to put your socks on, but it adds \u201ctexture personality\u201d to a room, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choose-between-real-and-faux-leather\">Choose between real and faux leather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like the look of leather but prefer to use vegan materials and products in your home? You have plenty of options to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are many quality faux or vegan leathers out there,\u201d says&nbsp;Appleby. She notes that since faux leather is a vinyl product,&nbsp;it does need to be cared for like any vinyl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that it can tear more easily, it isn\u2019t as soft, and it doesn\u2019t age over time like real leather does. But the nice thing about vegan leather is that it can be cleaned very easily\u2014all you need to do is wipe it down with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mirror-the-style-of-the-room\">Mirror the style of the room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leather should always feel in line with the particular style of a bedroom. You probably wouldn\u2019t decorate with black leather in a breezy, white farmhouse space, right? Think through the visuals of your bedroom before including leather decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line: \u201cLeather comes in all textures and colors, so personalizing trim for a lampshade to a beautiful, tufted headboard is easy and fun,&#8221; says Appleby. &#8220;You can go from contemporary to antique with just one leather element in a room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Which interior design styles are totally on-trend right now for the bedroom?
