Whenever we hear the term “rustic” to describe a certain leather furniture style and design, it conjures an image in our minds of furniture that is not only natural in look and feel but also Old World in design.
This post is all about design and styles of rustic leather furniture
Rustic style is defined by its Classic design, which is intended to bring out the natural beauty of its materials.
We tend to think of furniture that is handmade from organic materials that are textured and earthy in color and tone. In terms of elements used to build high quality furniture, there really is no material that is more natural, durable and lends itself to a rustic design and style than leather.
Leather not only perfectly complements the natural wood of its frame without the need of additional adornment, but it is also an organic material that improves with age. It is one of the only materials in which blemishes from normal wear and tear can be said to enhance its aesthetic value and give it “character.” It is this character that gives leather furniture a textured feel that is truly as inviting and comfortable as it looks.
Indeed, few things in life look and feel more solid and durable—and scream comfort—than a leather chair or sofa. The materials can also be “distressed” to create that antique look and feel, which makes even the newest piece of furniture seem as if it’s been lovingly preserved in the family for generations.
If you're looking for rustic quality furniture that is going to last for years to come, than you have found the place! Below are some styles that could be very fitting for rustic style living rooms or office spaces. Keep in mind that these style are also very versatile and by simply changing a few features such as the leather, nail heads, feet and finishes, it can completely transform the style of the furniture and space it is going in.

Our number one best seller is by far the 959 Hampton because of its rustic leather and patina it has acquired over the years. This pictured group we display on the showroom floor has captured the attention of may cabin home owners in the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, New York and many others. The scalloped base gives a unique style flare to the design. This group is a perfect representation of how this choice of leather will age like a fine wine.

This rustic leather sofa is a style I have used to customize for many clients. Starting with a solid hardwood oak frame for durability and longevity, a TRUE 8 way hand tied suspension, this 555 Park City is then upholstered with a natural Full grain, tan leather, which is a perfect neutral rustic color, which can compliment both rustic and modern style rooms. The artistically hand pleated, rolled arms are decorated with old gold nail heads which in all truly creates a wow factor that will catch everyone's eye. The imperfections in the leather like scars, mosquito bites, stretch marks, and other natural features help emphasize the rustic design and style in further details.
The term rustic also doesn't only lock Full grain leather into the rustic look. Some Top grain leathers are designed to give a rustic aesthetic without the leathers actually distressing. However a lot of Top Grain leathers can be finished with a sheen, but "rustic" will never take on the "sheen" and rather keep a matted or muted finish.
The design and style of rustic leather furniture can also transfer over to traditional styles and designs, including rough surface, accent Hair On Hides, tooled leathers such as embossed or printed leathers.
The most common color pallet for rustic leather furniture are browns, beiges, creams, whites, greens and greys and even blues because they favor warmth and cozy feelings. These are also colors that reflect less light that help with a rough and uneven texture.
when mixing styles, we always recommend using color harmony to connect the contrasting parts. You can also use this rule to help create the same mood instead of trying to match the same style.
Texture is also key in emphasizing the term rustic.
Below are some examples of Hair On Hide, "Tooled" or "Embossed" printed leathers, used to create rustic accents. Generally they are not bold in color, but more so balanced.
Examples of rustic distressed leather:
These leathers are tanned to represent natural full grain leather without actually scratching and marking up. This is perfect alternative for the consumer who wants the rustic leather look and feel without driving them crazy with scratch marks.
