Want stylish, comfortable furniture that actually improves with age? Then invest in leather, a durable and attractive material that comes in a variety of styles, colors and strengths. Here are things to keep in mind when shopping:1. Leather is four times more durable than fabric, so don't worry about having kids around it. Just like a leather jacket or shoes, leather furniture gets better with age. 2. Aniline leather is dyed in a drum, which allows the dye to completely soak through for a rich, deep color. No protective coating is added, and it's the softest and most expensive leather.3. Semi-aniline (protected aniline) leather is also dyed in a drum and has a small amount of coating applied, giving it slightly better protection against stains and fading than aniline leather.4. For pigmented leather, color is applied to the surface, not dyed through and through. And while the color isn't as rich, it's finished to provide greater protection against scratches, stains and fading. These leathers are less expensive and usually aren't as soft as dyed leathers.5.
Unlike upholstery, the color of your leather piece doesn't make a difference when it comes to regular maintenance. Just use a damp cloth to remove dust.6. Look for leather upholstery with zippered seat cushions. While the leather can last decades, the seat cushion may not and you'll want easy access to get it refilled.7. Leather takes on the temperature of your body within 12 seconds, so the notion that leather is cold is a misconception.8. A leather sofa has to suit your lifestyle first. Is it going to work for the way you're going to use it? What room will it go in? If it's a busy space that gets a lot of wear and tear, go with a little heavier finish and protection so that you can just wipe up a stain.9. When considering price, remember that a leather sofa will last at least as long as three fabric sofas.10. Avoid a leather-vinyl combination. While the two materials might look good together, leather will always outlast the vinyl.Clear all selections Departments $ to $ Clear all selections $ to $ Clear price

Sometimes the best leather chairs are those that offer simple design and functionality. This type of chair is pretty basic as far as looks. It's the type of chair that is easy to kick back and relax in while reading a good book, or watching TV. You can pick it up and easily carry it to another area or room without much effort. The simple leather chair is comfortable without being flashy, and such a relaxed style of chair is a good choice for individuals who prefer a minimalist lifestyle.
A Pop of Color Livens Up a Room Wondering what to do with that drab corner that needs something, but you're not sure what? A colorful leather chair can really make that corner come alive, and all it requires is finding a color that blends well with room tones. Take a look at affordable leather chairs in shades of blue and red for some interesting color ideas. Cool blue is relaxing, and warm red brings vibrancy to the room. Classic Black Leather Chair Is Subtly Sophisticated Traditional black leather chairs are popular, because you can place them in so many room settings without worrying about them looking awkwardly out of place. A black leather chair is an easy way to add a bit of sophistication to any room. If you want a great classic living room chair, seek a leather option with a thick seat cushion and comfortable padded armrest. Choose a Showcase Chair for Impact When your budget only allows for one leather chair, you can choose a chair that offers maximum style and comfort impact for the money.
The leather club chair fits squarely in this category. Club chairs are big, sturdy, and often the cushiest chair in the room. Place one of these chairs in your home, and someone is going to claim it as their own; get in the room early so you can call dibs on it. There are chairs, and then there are recliner chairs, which offer a whole other level of relaxation. While some recliners are pricey, there are many real leather recliner chairs that fall well within your furniture budget. Look for an affordable leather recliner chair that is durably made, has solid arm rests, and leans far enough back to allow you to take a nice nap. For added comfort, scoot an ottoman underneath your legs. Opt for Faux Leather Perk up a bare space with a modern living room chair made of faux leather, which looks similar to real leather, but often costs less. Faux leather is easier to care for than genuine leather, and you can usually find some fun chair designs in this material. Many faux leather chairs are used as accent furniture, providing additional seating for the living room, dining room, or home office.
