Care

Leather is one of the easiest materials to care for. The worst thing that can happen to her is the loss of elasticity. This is due to the drying of fatty substances directly in the material itself.But, since this process is slow, it is easy to prevent it if you properly care for upholstery.

To do this, you should purchase a stearic lubricant and clean the surface of the sofa with a sponge about once every three months. Then your furniture will last you much longer. Otherwise, the skin does not require any other care.

Special features

On any material from the skin there are wrinkles and irregularities - this just speaks about its naturalness and is not considered as defects. After all, these traces appeared on the skin of the animal during its life.

Here are a few more signs that are not considered defective:

  1. Resilience. These are traces of blood vessels. Usually, such a material makes the back back, the area under the sofa or sidewalls;
  2. Namin Wrinkles or creases that make the skin softer. They are often used for pillows and back;

Therefore, it is not recommended to buy furniture from obscure companies, albeit at a lower price. It is better not to risk and give extra money for a trusted supplier.

Colour

Since now there are more and more different colors, then, if you wish, you can choose whatever you want. With such a sofa you can not worry about dirt, because it is easy to clean, so everything depends on the design of your kitchen.

It is recommended to choose sofas of inconspicuous colors, especially if there are already bright colors in the interior. White or the color of coffee with milk - it is always a classic. Multicolored furniture suitable for the calm color of the walls. For example, if the main scale is white, then a red piece of furniture will look fresh and interesting.

For a very small kitchen, bright furniture is not very well suited. She stands out pretty much and not in a good way. In a small room, it is important that the furniture fits well into the interior, and is not conspicuous.The kitchen is more spacious, the bolder you can make color decisions.

Installation

No matter how large your kitchen is, it is best to install a sofa on it against the wall. So it takes up less space and looks more organic in the surrounding interior. A good solution is corner sofas. They look more compact, but they can be installed in any corner or by the window and they will look stylish and beautiful.

Built-in sofas - salvation for a small kitchen. As a rule, they are made to order and, accordingly, their sizes are selected for the interior of your particular kitchen. As a result, the furniture fits perfectly, and the kitchen looks like one. The disadvantages of such an installation can be called the lack of mobility and a relatively high price due to individual installation.

Installing a sofa in the middle of the kitchen or away from the wall can only be in spacious rooms. As a rule, regardless of where it is installed, this piece of furniture is combined with a dining table.

Frame

No matter how unpretentious the skin is, the life of the sofa depends, among other things, on the frame. Specifically, under this type of furniture, frames are made of two types:

  • From solid wood.As a rule - from conifers, for example, pine. Such a framework is inexpensive. There are more expensive options, such as oak, walnut or ash, they will last longer, but will cost significantly more. The golden mean is a frame made of birch, which will cost less than oak, but will not be inferior in quality;
  • From chipboard. Such furniture rarely serves more than five years. It is much heavier than the one from the array and is afraid of water.

Filler

  1. Cheap sofas, as a rule, have an inexpensive filler - foam rubber. On average, it serves from three to five years, and then begins to subside.
  2. Polyurethane foam will cost more, but this filler is more environmentally friendly and lasts much longer. As a rule, it is added to expensive leather sofas.
  3. Latex filling is very rare. This material is the most expensive and is used, for the most part, abroad.
