If durability is your priority, a leather sofa is an excellent investment. Genuine leather is naturally strong, repelling dust, moisture, and allergens. With proper care, it can last decades without losing its comfort or style. Full-grain leather is the most resilient, ageing beautifully and becoming even softer over time.

Start by vacuuming to remove dust and crumbs. For fabric sofas, use a mild detergent mixed with water and blot stains with a clean cloth. Leather sofas benefit from occasional conditioning with a leather cleaner. Always check the care label before applying any cleaning products.

A compact two-seater, loveseat, or modular sofa with a slim profile is best for small spaces. To create a sense of openness, consider a sofa with exposed legs, or choose a design with neutral colours that blend in with your living room decor.
