The Chesterfield sofa<\/a> is a quality design that is as much about durability as it is about style. They are larger than most, which means they require more craftsmanship, materials and time. But they are built to last. So, if you\u2019re looking to invest in a quality sofa that has a timeless iconic design, you can\u2019t go wrong with a Chesterfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That aside, they are also infamously known to be made with leather. Chesterfields and leather go together like a sofa and an ottoman, or a living room and a coffee table. It\u2019s a pair that harks back to the sofa\u2019s inception. But times have moved on \u2013 interior design styles have evolved and the fabric options we have to put on our sofas are now limitless. A Chesterfield sofa no longer needs to come in leather, which opens up the iconic design to a new audience, colour palettes and interior styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, we\u2019ve come up with 8 reasons why a Chesterfield sofa doesn\u2019t have to be bought in leather.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aesthetics \u2013 <\/strong>leather has a classic look
    Cost \u2013<\/strong> leather can be expensive
    Comfort \u2013<\/strong> sticky in summer
    Ethical reasons \u2013<\/strong> leather is an animal product
    Maintenance \u2013<\/strong> leather can be harder to maintain
    Durability \u2013<\/strong> synthetics are as durable as leather
    Allergies \u2013<\/strong> you might be allergic to leather
    Versatility \u2013<\/strong> leather can be limiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aesthetics \u2013 <\/strong>the look and feel
    First thing\u2019s first: aesthetics. Leather is not for everyone. Yes, it\u2019s grand. It demands attention \u2013<\/strong> and looks great in a traditional setting \u2013 but most of us don\u2019t live in Downton Abbey. And leather can be a limiting fabric to incorporate into styles that don\u2019t fit into the realm of \u2018classic\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That being said, if you want to create a sophisticated, luxurious style, there are other fabrics that can portray a similar look and feel, but are more varied, modern and more comfortable. Chesterfield sofa<\/a> Velvet and eco-velvet, do just that. Subtly elegant with a beautifully soft touch. A versatile fabric that\u2019s cheaper than leather and will look great with most colour schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cost \u2013<\/strong> leather can be expensive
    Why are Chesterfield sofas so expensive? A question asked by many. And right so, it\u2019s a valid point. Chesterfield sofas are typically more expensive than other sofas because of its elegant and sophisticated design. Chesterfield sofas\u2019 are usually associated with Lords and stately homes \u2013 with that comes a higher price (we\u2019d assume) \u2013 and an iconic design, that\u2019s timeless and demands a higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, leather is an expensive fabric. And Chesterfield\u2019s are usually made with high-end leather. Even if it’s faux leather, it\u2019s high-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But how can you beat the price? The easiest way to make a modern Chesterfield sofa<\/a> affordable is to make sure the fabric is anything but leather \u2013 or faux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
