Leather sofas are a timeless solution that can be seen in many homes as they work well with anything and they are very durable. With the current trends for everything touchable and earthy-toned, everyone wants a tan leather sofa as it’s a combo of two trends and it will be a cool idea for many years ahead. Here are some tips on how to rock a tan leather sofa in your home, but first of all let’s find out
What Are Pros And Cons Of Leather Sofas?
Leather sofas not as high maintenance as one would initially assume. With leather sofas, you just use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the sofa, and it’s also easy to wipe off pet fur as it doesn’t cling to the sofa.
A leather sofa doesn’t absorb smells the same way that a fabric sofa does. Good for if you have pets or for smokers.
Leather is a naturally thick, durable material. Any scratches to the leather can be obscured with some leather polish, and leather doesn’t fray.
The biggest disadvantage for many people is the price. Though it’s value for money as they last longer, the initial cost of buying a leather sofa can be off-putting.
Leather sofas may be far less forgiving for rough-housing than “bouncier” upholstered fabric cushions.
Genuine leather isn’t all the same. You need to know what you’re looking for. Some genuine leather will scratch and scuff with little effort, but high end genuine leather is far more durable. There’s also less variety in terms of colors and patterns.

What Goes Well With Tan Leather?
A large part of its appeal is that tan leather is so versatile – particularly for those who are hesitant to try bold color, it works with pretty much everything. Tan leather furniture serves as a perfect base for those wanting to test the waters with color. Start small by pairing your piece with cushions, textiles and accessories in just one or two hues – a few pieces will be enough to lift the overall mood of a room without overwhelming it. Navy, green and red are options that work beautifully with most shades of tan. Tan works really well with other neutrals including charcoal, off-white or punchy black.
Think about mixing textures when pairing with leather. Linen and denim are great options to put with leather as they complement each other brilliantly. Velvet is very much in vogue at the moment. Place a sisal rug under a tan leather armchair or scatter linen or velvet and leather cushions together on a lounge for tactile appeal. Recycled and distressed timber paired with vintage leather is the perfect recipe for French industrial style, while straight, clean lines with a few smooth curves spells mid-century modern. Combine tan leather and monochrome for a modern yet timeless look – and think beyond a four-seater when embracing this trend.

How To Choose Tan Leather?
Quality and care will pay off when it comes to leather sofas, no matter tan or other ones. Choose the leather carefully – tan leather can scratch really easily so try to avoid it for a sofa that will be getting a lot of use, unless you’re willing to fork out for good-quality leather. Our jeans and pants can rub on the leather, and pets’ nails scratch the leather really easily. Get inspired to choose the best tan couch for your space!
