Ways to Hang Leather
- Use leather instead of art in your bedroom space. Create a backdrop behind your bed through a wall of leather; attach the leather to the wall by hanging it or attaching it to a large piece of board. This is also a creative way of hiding a damaged wall, old wallpaper or paint that you are unable or unwilling to repair at this point.
- Hang your piece of leather from a wood, metal or sturdy ceramic pole, dowel or rod (leather can be heavy so ensure any ceramic dowel will support the leather) as a piece of artwork. The pole is just as important as the leather when considering the overall style of the wall hanging. Wood gives off a more traditional feel while stainless steel and metal are more contemporary finishes. Ceramic is always a classic look and works in many different styled spaces.
- Cover a board in leather and make custom artwork for your walls. This is a way of hanging your leather in a structured way and also creating one-of-a-kind, personalized artwork for your space. This works especially well with different colors of leather. Experiment with different pieces of board or wood for a more contemporary feel; keep it modern with equal pieces of wood if you're craving a traditional look. Cover your bedroom headboard with leather for a rich new style in the bedroom.
- Another way to hang leather is through the draperies in your home. Use leather as a way of adding texture to a space, making it more classy or elegant, or simply as a way of having a black-out curtain. Keep gauzy or tweed curtains behind your leather and use your leather as a dramatic pullover curtain that covers your curtains and gives you an intimate dark space. The varying textures also give an air of sophistication to a space.
