Leather Sofas - advice needed!
7 years ago
Hi there. We've ordered a beautiful leather sofa from West Elm (the Hamilton 3-seater, burnt sienna colour) - and I've just found out it's full-aniline. Having googled for most of the day, I'm now worried that this is a daft choice for a family with a 2 year old toddler. Does anyone have any experience of full-aniline leather furniture, or any advice when it comes to choosing the perfect leather sofa? Love the look and feel of aniline, concerned it's totally impractical. Any ideas or advice would be gratefully received! And pic of the sofa here...

Comments (5)Since I am looking at a leather sofa its going to be tough to get it in orange tone. What do you think of these 2 sofas? Will it look good....if so which one will be better? I am actually not exactly sure what sort of tiles they are as we bought the flat over from a previous owner who already had these tiles fitted in....See MoreAdvice on how to keep brown leather sofa contemporary
Comments (25)Hi. What colour are your ŵalls re the curtains? I do agree with others that I find a shade of blue works best with brown although clearly many colours do. A dusky pink is also very nice (has to be the right shade though!) if you were to mix it with lighter Browns and soft whites. How contemporary is the rest of the house? Putting down a cowhide rug for example would immediately make it look contemporary. If you went with a rug in shades of browns with some white it would also create a slight contrast between floor and sofa. The sofa looks quite contemporary anyway so would think more about the accessories....See MoreNeed advice for washing cream flocked sofa covers !
Comments (2)If you're based in the UK you've missed the best of the drying weather. Choose a windy day as I doubt you'll get them dry within 24 hours sufficient to put straight back on the sofa. I'd use some stain remover such as Vanish on the grubby area, wash them on the lowest temperature so they don't shrink or loose colour and only do one spin cycle. Liquid or powder is fine. I used to have a sofa with removable outer cushions and washed them with no problems. The biggest problem was getting them really dry and putting them back on....See MoreSofa Advice Needed
Comments (4)Hi Issy, Sofa.com works really well for tight spaces. If you let them know you have an awkward space, they can tell you which of their styles can be completely disassembled for installation. Their delivery team will get it into you house and reassemble in the room you need. They have a great range of styles and fabrics to choose from, so you don't have to feel limited! Good luck!...See More
