Leather Sofas
Beautiful, timeless and durable, leather is a fantastic choice for sofas, chairs and other upholstered items. As well as being effortlessly elegant, leather is very long lasting and is able to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. If you’re looking for new seating for your living room, a real leather sofa could be the perfect choice.

Why choose a leather sofa in Australia?
Leather sofas are a popular choice in Sydney because they’re very durable and have an attractive, classic look. Easy to clean and easy to maintain, they’re ideal for Australian family life and a surprisingly good choice for people living with animals.
Couches upholstered in leather only need to be treated once or twice a year to keep them looking great. You can do this using a leather conditioner or leather oil and it should only take a few minutes. If you spill anything on your leather sofa, it won’t discolour or stain the surface. You can simply wipe it away and your leather sofa will look like new.
How to choose the right leather sofa for your Australian home
Because leather is such a good option for upholstery, leather sofas are available in a wide choice of sizes and styles. If your space is big enough to accommodate one or two large sofas, choose a sectional or modular design. Sectional sofas can be adjusted to suit your requirements. Simply add sections to the layout to increase seating space or remove them to make your sofa that little bit cosier.
If you’re looking for a more compact option in Sydney, leather 2 seater sofas or small 3 seater sofas could be perfect for your interior. Like small bouclé sofas, leather loveseats are designed for two people and so are ideal for bedrooms and bijou living rooms. A larger 3 seater could double up as a sofa bed, so is a good choice if you want to maximise the flexibility of your Sydney living area.

FAQ
How long do leather couches last?
Leather is an incredibly durable material and, when properly cared for, can last a very long time and should not peel. In fact, a real leather sofa can last up to 4 times longer than a faux leather alternative.
Are leather sofas high maintenance?
Leather sofas are very easy to take care of and don’t require a huge amount of maintenance. To keep your leather sofa in good condition, you’ll need to treat it every 6 to 12 months with a leather conditioner. This will keep the leather soft and supple. Wiping away any spills as soon as they happen will help to prevent staining and discolouration.
How can I tell if my couch is real leather?
Synthetic leather has come a long way in the last few years and it can sometimes be difficult to tell if a sofa is upholstered in real or fake leather at first look.
The best way to tell if the leather is real or not is to touch it. Real leather is a natural material and so will have a bumpier, less even surface than a synthetic product. If you’re still unsure, give the sofa a sniff. Real leather has an unmistakable rich aroma that no synthetic product can match.
