Leather can be dyed in a variety of rich hues and tones ranging from deep, dark shades to beautifully vibrant hues. These influence the mood and look of the sofa, and the ambience it brings to your interior.

A dark leather sofa is perfect for a refined and indulgent interior whilst a vibrant shade can set the tone for an expressive and eclectic look. Clean silhouettes and minimal details exude a contemporary vibe while tufted sofas add an old-world charm.

Those who want to inject character into their space will especially appreciate the beautiful grain and patterns of leather. Many Castlery leather sofas are aniline or semi-aniline-dyed, which produces a gorgeous sheen and allows the animal’s natural markings to be admired.

2. Durable & Easy to Clean

Since time immemorial, leather has been regarded as a valuable material for its durability.

Quality leather sofas undergo stringent modern tanning processes that make them resistant to cracking, sagging, or peeling. This allows them to last longer than conventional fabric sofas.

Leather also repels dust, so it’s easy to keep it spick and span. This is why leather couches are so popular among those sensitive to common allergens.
