Leather Furnishings Never Go Out of Style

Leathercraft_wing_chairHere’s something that can make your house decorating a little easier. It’s a simple fact. It’s true and, as far as we’re concerned, it has and always will be. It’s seven simple words that create a simple sentence, and carries a lot of meaning and relief. Are you ready? Well, here it comes: Leather Furnishings Never Go Out Of Style.

Leather furnishings are a timeless classic. They can implement either a rustic design element to your space or a sleek, contemporary design element depending upon how they are implemented.

Leather introduces Old World stylistic qualities like ornate carved legs, an embossed leather chair oreven fringe leather trim. Leather has a traditional appeal, but is a material that can be used in a variety of ways, giving it timeless design qualities that can beautify its classic appeal.  When it comes to modern leather furnishings think sofas with stainless steel legs, sleek sofas and chairs, and very little or no ornamentation.

Never stress about finding a choice in leather furniture that appeals to your design tastes. Practically every style of furniture can be found with a leather composition. Sofas, chairs, and upholstered headboards, all have leather applications that will give your décor the simple, modern and sleek look that is so synonymous with leather furniture.

And that’s not just by chance. You see, leather sofas and chairs are well known for their detailing. Through the implementation of grommets, specialty stitching (think baseball stitching, but without all the dirt and horseplay) and fringe, there are numerous combinations of colors, tones, and patterns that can make a well crafted piece of leather furniture shine.

Placement & Upkeep

Leather can be cooler than fabric, both in temperature and in appeal. It’s all about placement. You want to keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent visible cracks or color fading. However, a bit of “wear and tear”  does create a natural beauty, a patina, that only leather furnishings can portray.

Having leather furniture also means a different kind of care to maintain its quality and appearance in your space. In most cases, leather can be easily maintained in comparison to a suede or fabric piece of furniture. The process is different than standard upholstery, and regular care is required to prevent wear and cracks from appearing.
