Why I Still Adore Leather Furniture

White fabric furniture is having a huge moment in home decor and design right now. We’re seeing a lot of bright, white walls paired with bright, white furniture in linen-like fabrics. As much as I love how crisp and beautiful white looks, I’ve found that white fabric furniture is not a practical choice for families with young children and pets. White fabric furniture looks fabulous in a magazine, but after a week (or even an hour!) in my living room it’s going to look dirty. My solution? Opt for genuine leather furniture in light & bright colours! You get the best of both worlds – the fresh look of white or cream with the durability and easy care of leather.
Recently, I was able to try out this gorgeous creamy leather sofa from The Brick in our guest house. Doesn’t it look pretty in this room? It still has a classic look with the rolled arms and comfy cushions, but it’s covered in genuine leather.
If you have puppies and kids like I do, you won’t have to freak out when they cover your leather sofa with mud or felt pens. Leather is super-easy to clean, and it lasts a long time. I don’t want to be constantly worried about my furniture getting ruined or continuously cleaning it, so that’s why I still love leather furniture in main areas where kids and pets are present.

You know, I’d sort of moved on from leather – even though I love the durability, I’ve always thought of it as more of a polished look that wasn’t necessarily in keeping with the cozy feeling I’m looking for in a sofa. But, you’ve totally changed my mind with this one – I love that I can have the creamy colour I’ve been hoping for, but still have the durability that comes with leather (because let’s face it, creamy fabric and family life don’t really make for the best pair)! You’ve definitely made it look so cozy and inviting with all of those sweet pillows and accessories! LOVE it!
