20th June 2012 - The dream apartment that you have always lusted after is finally yours. The master bedroom has a grand view and the living room is very spacious. Everything is working out well. So, you must make sure that it continues to improve from here. Choosing furniture for your house is a matter of extreme importance, and should be carried out with the requisite eye for details and instinct for the right kind of material that you want for your house. Leather furniture ranks amongst the top choices for furnishings on the standard interior decorator’s list.
Leather is manufactured by the tanning of putrescible animal skin, the most generally used ones being those of cattle. It is durable, long-lasting and tough. These days, there are options for customizing your furniture according to your needs. For instance, the recliner that you want to place in your study can now be made from either glossy patent leather or chamois leather, depending on how comfortable you want to be while lying down on it to read your favourite book.
Other kinds of leather that are especially favourable for this purpose, are Shagreen leather (which originally hails from France and which has been used in the furniture production arena since the 1930s- the period of the second World War), Buckskin leather that is smoked extensively to make it pliant and suede-like, apart from rendering it resistant to the process of rotting, Bycast leather (which, while, not exactly being genuine leather, is still very useful and less expensive too).
This type of furniture is impervious to dust, water and does not stain easily. The owner should, of course, take utmost care to keep it polished and clean at all times. It is advisable to place leather sofas and loveseats away from the areas of the house that get direct sunlight. Also, sharp objects must not be left lying around this furniture as they are in danger of tearing.
Leather furniture is a must-have if you want your apartment to look worthy of all the money that went into its purchase. It is enduring and will be a constant comfort.
