Help me decorate/modernise these newly made-over armchairs and sofa!!!

Here is the finished product! My very first make-over project :)

The colour of the backrest and the armchair on the left, doesn't look quite right in the photo, must be the lighting on something... But let me assure you, it looks just like regular black leather in real life :)

But now, the question is... How to modernise this antique sofa, and at the same time soften the harshness of black leather?

The problem is, I still don't know where these pieces will end up, so would prefer for the cushions/throws to be versatile, and able to fit in anywhere... if that's even possible?

I generally like white, black and navy. I don't mind a bit of colour, but not too much!

I can't wait to read your suggestions on cushion size, colour, pattern etc :)

Antique leather armchair Makeover Reveal!

And here it is, one of the armchairs painted in black. What do you think? Any tips on how to style it would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking white cushions with black prints, but the armchair is looking pretty black as it is so maybe I should go with some colour? But I'd still like the colours to be as neutral as possible so they can blend in with our future colour choices... If at all possible?

This is the paint I used. The red cans are the matte leather paint if anyone is interested. Made in Australia.

Sneak peak of the antique leather armchair transformation

Remember my antique sofa & armchairs post? Well I finally picked up a paint brush and started painting one of the armchairs. I still have another coat on the leather all over to go, but it's getting there. I hope to get this armchair finished tomorrow, but am still recovering from yesterday so will see how it goes :S

Here is a sneak peak!

Table makeover. Does it really need sanding?

MrB has been putting of the painting of this table and I have a feeling it's because he wanted to sand it first. Do you think we could skip the sanding step? There are some scratches along the edges but they are not deep. There are also some small scratches on top but again, nothing major.

I guess sanding the top would be easy, but the base... Not so much due to all the curves :(
