Walls and floors are blank canvases. There are so many ways to take advantage of all the creative opportunities they have to offer. One of my favorite things is to experiment with different textures and materials in design. One that has caught my eye lately is leather. We have all seen beautiful leather sofas and chairs, but this versatile material can actually serve as a chic wall covering or flooring option.
It may sound a bit out there at first, but I’ve gathered ten examples of spaces that used leather in an unconventional way and created some spectacular results. Whether you want something edgy and masculine or soft and feminine, leather can deliver.
