I live alone in a bachelor flat, and I want to buy a couch for my living area.I want a couch that can last for a long time (durable) and a couch that requires little maintenance as far as cleaning it is concerned. So I think a leather couch would be a good couch to buy because leather couches don't require a vacuum cleaners or something if it's dirty, all I can do is to wipe a stain with a damp cloth and that's it. But what worries me with a leather couch is that it becomes damaged easily and can easily rip and have scratches and stuff. Is leather couch the best option? If not, what couch should I buy?Thank you!
Leather sounds fine. You won't really have to worry about damage that much if you don't have pets or children around. Quality is most important, leather or otherwise. We scrimped and bought a cheap sofa, it has a removable slip-cover that is easy to clean, but we are regretting our cheap purchase. A good quality sofa will age much better. Keep the colour neutral and it will also stand the test of time with any decor changes you might make in the future too.
