A classic sofa style, leather sofas are a timeless trend that you simply can’t go wrong with, meaning your living room staple will never go out our fashion.


My guide to contemporary leather sofas is coming right up.


But before that, here’s a little history on how leather became a must-have for any household. 


The history of leather sofas


The early years


Classed as being a sign of privilege, power and wealth, leather featured on many a throne.


At the time of the Roman Empire, leather was a real status symbol and owned by the wealthiest and most powerful people.


In the centuries to come, the use of leather became increasingly widespread, extending to furniture and new varieties of leather were created.


At this time, it was still considered to be a luxury material. 


The Industrial Revolution enabled leather and leather upholstery to be produced more efficiently and cost effectively and production rapidly became more streamlined.


By the 19th century, leather furniture was a common feature in most middle class homes.


Today, leather furniture is present in most homes and, thanks to continued production advances, the choice of leather sofa options available to customers is greater than ever before, as you will now see from my product picks below.
