Black Leather Furniture

Can you have Expresso Brown Dining furniture next to black leather sofa's?

Hi Having a real problem at the moment as we want to buy a new dining set which is Oak and has the High back leather chairs but can't find any anywhere in black as all the sets in the shops the chairs are expresso brown which is quite dark. My problem is my house has a lounge diner and my Sofa's are Black leather. Would the Expresso brown leather clash with the black leather? Thanks for your help!

1. no, it will be fine.
2. It's a wonderful contrast. The mistake would be trying to match the leathers instead of having the dining set compliment the sofa and give more depth and tone to the room.
3. No the brown wont clash, but to brighten it up you can always use a simple cover over the backs of the dining chairs. This also can be done for holidays and special dinners as well. Colorful throws on the backs of the leather sofas as well will add punch. Do this just once in a while when you want to change up the place.
