Go minimalist

A visually appealing couch is important but functionality is important too when it comes to selecting a material for a living room couch. Normally the love to indulge in a plush, white suede couch is tempting but so difficult to maintain. Suede can be difficult to maintain with pets and small children. Leather, mostly in darker colors is dependable in elegance and generally goes well with age, and is easy to clean. It is important to determine the priorities when selecting the upholstery material for a couch. For example, if the living room has to look elegant and classy, a leather couch would be ideal. The fabric considered must be more casual. The most long-lasting fabric options include cotton, synthetic microfiber and linen. If there are pets or small kids around, stay away from upholstery material that can stain easily or are tough to preserve.
