The Benefits of Decorating with Leather Bedroom Furniture

Have you looked at your bedroom and just thought, “Too much fabric”? Perhaps you are looking for a more chic boudoir style but are unsure of the material? Well, when in doubt, go for leather. Yes, leather! What better material to give your bedroom timeless comfort, sophistication, and personality, all in one? At The Mattress Warehouse, we offer high-quality leather bedroom furniture to spruce up your sleeping nook to your liking. Keep on reading to find out how you can decorate and style leather for that new debonair bedroom.

Timeless beauty – why it’s a great idea to style with leather bedroom furniture

Whether you are going for a rustic, regal, or racy style, the use of leather still exudes a ‘luxurious feel’ in the bedroom. The timeless beauty of leather makes the material a suitable fit for everyone. For the oldies, the leather may convey the idea of graceful ageing. Young adults may be inspired by the bold, chic vibe associated with leather. Meanwhile, middle-agers may relate to the classic, yet modern ‘feel’ the material possesses.

How to effeminate your leather bed furniture

Anything goes well with leather. Particularly if you have picked leather pieces with neutral colours (black, brown, or white). Leather bed furniture is often misconceived as being overly masculine. However, there are various ways of styling leather in a feminine or unisex themed room. Try one (or all) of the following ideas:

• Accessorising with an assortment of colourful fabric cushions.
• Place a patterned or colourful rug where it can create a contrast with the leather furniture in your room.
• Hang a timeless poster or light, watercolour on the wall behind or close to the leather piece.
• Use light, floral patterned curtains to set off the leather.
• Put a potplant in the room. The green goes wonderfully well with brown leather.

So you see, it’s not only suited to boys and their bedrooms.

The benefits of using leather as a principal fabric in a bedroom

Leather is such a remarkable material to use when decorating your personal space. It is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile materials for bedroom furniture. Coming in a variety of colours, it can accommodate any theme/style and can be incorporated into any piece of furniture for any room. If you haven’t already made up your mind about using leather… Well, here are five reasons why you should definitely consider it:

1. Leather is durable.

Constantly spending money to keep up with the Jones’ sophisticated taste is so overrated! So instead of buying new bedroom furniture every second year, invest in something that is both stylish and durable. Like leather, for instance. Leather can withstand both humid and arid conditions. In dry environments, it retains its pleasant hardened texture. Whereas it softens and gives an aged feel in wetter climates. Though leather is no fan of water, it can withstand spills if you clean it up soon after the fact.

2. It is timeless.

Like (some) wine, leather only gets better with time. It is known as the “timeless” material because it truly holds form and is more aesthetically refined as it gets older and subject to different environmental conditions.

3. Odour Control.

You can happily agree that a mouldy smell in the bedroom is just unappealing. Period. Accidental food/drink spills or pet potty training ‘oopsies’ are absorbed extensively by other materials. This often leaves a bit of a funky smell on the furniture pieces. Leather, however, is less permeable, so spills will take longer to soak in. Moreover, it is naturally breathable or porous and tends to “breath” out the stench if you missed the spill in the first place.

4. Easy to clean.

Leather is easy to clean. Whether you have kids, you’re a clumsy individual or a pet owner, you want to choose leather. Instead of taking off the upholstery and chucking it in the washing machine, a simple swipe down removes stains and kicks off dust. Not only do you save time but you also save money you’d otherwise spend on cleaning detergents or upholstery maintenance. Convenient, right? You’re welcome!

Tip: Polish your leather bedroom furniture with leather cream every couple of months to make it last even longer.

5. Flexibility and adjustability.

Leather may just be one of the most comfortable materials out there. As a natural insulator, leather regulates its temperature in response to your body. Hence it feels cool to your skin on a warm day and is nice and cosy on a cold day. Also, leather couches tend to be far more comfortable because the leather “remembers” body shape. Truly, using leather can’t get your bedroom any more personalised than that.
