Quality Leather furniture with sensuously curved legs, an aura of luxury, and an undercurrent of rebellion seeks enduring relationship with family home.

Buying leather furniture is like entering into a romance: in the beginning, it is love at first sight. Then, as romance deepens into love, leather becomes more attractive and softer over time, its comforting embrace like that of a long-time lover. And yet, a little bit of the passion of the first embrace lingers.

There’s just something about quality leather furniture that is hard to resist. It’s got good looks, charm, charisma, and, of course, sex appeal. Its soft, supple look begs us to touch it and see how it feels. It appeals to the eye like few other natural materials, and it draws us in with an element of fun and surprise.

Subtle Details and Rich Texture Make Leather the Perfect Choice

Sleek and sexy – there’s that word again – the subtle details and rich texture of the Coventry Hills Alcot Leather Sofa from Lexington creates a traditional aesthetic, the “Little Black Dress” of leather furniture, with classic good looks that bring a little glamour into your home. It’s cool, collected look draws equally from the past and the present into a design that is both timeless and edgy.

Not everyone thinks about their furniture in this way, but leather connoisseurs know that real leather’s soft, yet strong texture is hard-wearing and built to last. The unique natural characteristics of leather give your home a feeling elegance and prestige. It is also easy to take care of when properly maintained. Just a quick wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.

Top 3 Reasons People Choose Leather Furniture for Their Homes

There are reasons that rock stars wear those pants: fashion, comfort, and sex appeal. These are also the top three reasons people choose leather for their homes. If you think a retro leather sofa means tacky and kitsch, take a look at the TAKE FIVE Whitehall Tufted Sofa by Lexington. Far from being old and stodgy, this leather sofa vibrates with chic simplicity and subtle charm that feels at home in any space.

But genuine leather furniture has more than good looks and aesthetic appeal going for it. Quality leather furniture will last four times as long as most fabrics and gets better looking as time goes by. What some might call wear and tear, leather furniture takes in stride.

Over time, leather develops an attractive patina and character that makes few things in this world more inviting than a well-loved leather chair.

What to Look for When Shopping for Leather Furniture

When shopping for leather furniture, be sure to touch the leather, sink into it, and let its warmth surround you. This way you can be sure to select the piece that looks and feels the best.

Top-grain leather furniture breathes: it feels cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This makes it perfect for the almost endless summer in South Florida, as well as the sometimes cooler days of a Central Florida winter.

When I say leather breathes, I mean that natural oils and moisture moving back and forth on the leather keep it soft and supple. Your skin doesn’t stick to it and it quickly adjusts to temperature changes.

I could go on about what makes leather a beautiful, comfortable choice for furniture. With the right touch and the right eye, leather furnishings easily can be worked into any home. Stop in at the Baer’s Furniture store near you to see all of our 100% Genuine Leather furniture pieces.
