Respectable models of armchairs, full-fledged waiting areas, chairs and sofas are usually ordered in offices and offices. The latter have a concise design, a rectangle is selected as the priority form. In the bedroom, beds with soft leather backs look great (high options are more appropriate), the frame of which is made of strong wood of valuable species.

What could be the material?

First of all, source codes are classified by origin - they are natural and artificial. The first type is sold in the high price segment. When covering the furniture, several categories of leather can be used:

aniline material is a natural expensive skin, quite capricious in leaving;
nubuck - outwardly it resembles suede, is formed as a result of abrasive processing of a natural source. The surface has a slightly fleecy soft texture, very pleasant to the touch. Easily absorbs moisture, stubborn stains quickly form on such upholstery;
pool-up is a special category of natural material, created by intensive processing of the skin with oil and wax. Such a texture wears out unevenly, is able to change color as it ages;
semi-aniline analogues are distinguished by increased wear resistance and stain protection, these properties are manifested due to the presence of special impregnation;
pigmented samples attract uniform color. Polished material is very durable, does not require laborious care.

In the latter case, the appearance and color depth change little during the entire period of operation.

Features of the style

Almost all varieties of the products in question are distinguished by their luxurious execution, especially those made of genuine leather, so they are rarely used for arranging interiors that have an emphasized techno or country orientation in loft variations. The following styles will be an ideal accompaniment to such headsets:

palace interior;
modern minimalism;
classic design.

The hue palette of products is quite diverse, but it is based on natural colors:

all facets of brown - from reddish to chocolate;
dark green;
dark gray, graphite;
numerous shades of beige, white - from milk and cream to saturated beige;
deep burgundy.

A bright color spectrum is not typical for such furniture, too catchy color indicates the dubious origin of the sample. The more “unnatural” the color, the “cheaper” the upholstery and the product as a whole look. For all the advantages of the product, you need to remember that if a defect appears on the image upholstery - a scratch, a cut - it cannot be restored on its own, you will have to order a replacement for the leather panel. In the process of removing contaminants, solvents cannot be used - after them “faded” areas will remain. In order for the furniture to maintain its pristine appearance for as long as possible, it should be kept away from windows and batteries, it is recommended to regularly treat the surface with special compounds - their specific varieties will be prompted in the furniture salon based on the characteristics of the selected sofa or bed.
