Given your wise choices of what you already have in your possession, you have endless options here. Dark brown leather will work against light woods, painted white furniture, a painted color, espresso colored, It really is up to you! I get a lot of questions regarding furniture choices from people. The funny thing is…most people limit their options by way of their original purchase. You have to be the first, that has actually chosen furniture smartly and opened up an array of choices based upon the dark brown leather. The fact that you chose brown leather is what makes it endless also. This goes with glass, marble, stone, painted furniture, antiques, modern, etc. White would be a beautiful stark contrast, while espresso (dark brown) would be a more metropolitan monochromatic look. Something in a maple (reddish/subtle orange undertones in wood) would lend a rich quality to the environment. Glass will bounce light and open up the space visually. If you opt for dark wood, bring in your lighter tones by accent pillows, light colored throw on the couch, vanilla colored candles, etc. to not overwhelm space with too much dark. But anything will work with what you have…depends really on whether you want monochromatic, stark contrast, rich look, country, modern, traditional.

Bamboo looks great with leather. Any wood really looks good it is just the stain color that matters.
Dark to medium wood tones; possibly a pine, med. oak, cherry, wicker, even mahogany.
Think about style as well as color, How do you want the room to feel?
Funky and Casual? Formal and sophisticated? Modern or Romantic?
Traditionally, dark woods are more formal and light woods are more casual, but the size and style count as much. While youre at it get lamps in a style that will pull your room together.
Dont just dial it, Style it!
It depends what decorating style is your preference. Brown is a very good base color that can take on any design style you may have – contemporary, traditional, modern, eclectic etc. With the color being brown, try lighter or darker tones for the new furniture. No matter what the style I would suggest you start with the end tables and a coffee table because these come together as a set. This will help you decide your wood tone or glass. If you choose glass you will have more options in furniture selections – also, it is a good way to open up the floor to show off a spectacular rug or hard wood floors. The next will be a TV stand and then the desk. Listed below is a link for Badcock Furniture for the Coffee & End Tables. GOOD LUCK

Some people like glass also, but light colored wood can be great accent pieces.
