These are just a few options of House & Home’s available leather range, but let’s get to know our leather coverings better so you know what to choose to suit your style and environment best.
ALL ABOUT LEATHERS
Apart from the excellent craftsmanship and stylish design options, there are more reasons leather is an excellent choice for your home. Its breathability and adaptability to your specific temperature, for instance, makes it an extremely comfortable choice. However, it is important to know the different kinds of leather options so you make the right decision before you buy. House & Home’s leather range is available in three main types: corrected grain, semi aniline and full aniline.
- Corrected grain has an applied surface finish of pigments and sealer coats making it more resistible to marks and spillages. It has a regular texture and a colder, firmer feel due to the correction process that disguises the irregularities within the hide. Characteristics: consistent colour, improved light fastness, good defect coverage and it is an easy option to maintain.
- Semi-aniline is stylish and has a natural feel. It provides a uniform look due to a mixture of dye and pigment, but all the natural marking and scars on the hide are still visible. These are not defects, it gives the leather its character and authenticity and differentiates it from corrected grain. Characteristics: it has a natural grain surface, improved light fastness, is practical and breathable.
- Full aniline with its silky touch is a favourite with leather connoisseurs. The finish consists of pure dye sprayed with a dye mixture and other substances that don’t disguise any markings or scars on the hide. These natural variations give leather furniture its character and authenticity. Characteristics: looks and feels good to the touch, it has natural grains and markings, and is very comfortable and breathable.

AUTHENTIC CHARACTER
During the aging process, leather furniture moulds to the owner’s body shape. The colours also mellow over time depending on how it is used in the home and the environment. It all makes every piece of furniture uniquely your own. Leather also tends to absorb body oils and perspiration making the leather darker on the areas of contact with the body.
Aniline is sensitive to light and it is best to keep it away from windows and areas of direct sunlight. Another economical option to ensure you get that authentic leather look is lounge suites and furniture pieces with genuine leather uppers. These suites incorporate a combination of PU or PVC inconjunction with genuine leather, making it much more cost effective but with most of the benefits of a full leather suite. Any of House & Home’s furniture ranges can be manufactured in the leather upper option.
DID YOU KNOW?
It takes atleast three hides to manufacture a couch. No two hides are identical so there may be substantial variation, shape and texture present, even within the same hide. This makes leather softer and gives it a natural feel. It also makes each couch unique.
