Add Elegance to Your Bedroom with a Leather Bed
Leather has long stood for elegance and sophistication—with a bit of an edge. If your bedroom could use a rock-and-roll shake-up, consider a new leather bed to make the perfect statement.
Genuine leather beds offer loads of benefits, no matter what your decor. Surprisingly easy to maintain, leather is durable and improves with age. It won’t tear, rip, or crack; its colour won’t fade; it holds its shape; and it supports thick padding for added comfort. Leather headboards also come in an array of stylish colours, weathered finishes, and decorative accents.
If you’re thinking about purchasing a leather bed, you have to understand the different types of leather that furniture manufacturers use. Beds and headboards made from full aniline leather are soft and luxurious, but require extra care and are less durable than other leathers. Aniline leather is especially prone to discolouration when exposed to direct sunlight, and it will stain if spilled upon. Semi-aniline leather has the same comfort and softness as full aniline, but is more durable. It is pigmented, making it stand up better in harsh light and resist stains and soiling. Nubuck, commonly used to make leather shoes, is actually brushed aniline leather. The resulting texture creates visual interest and adds durability.
Once you’ve chosen the type of leather that suits your needs, there’s no limit to what can be done with a leather bed. Metal accents, decorative cut-outs, embellishments, collage, and more will all enhance the look of your bed and bring your bedroom together.
