Leather or fabric sofa...? way to go!

In this part of the world men seem to prefer leather to fabric>>>true or false? i think its true. i have done some sort of vox-pop amongst my friends and seen that men prefer leather sofas;same way they prefer leather interior finishes in cars. personally,leather isnt 'it' for me as i find it too cold and hard. i constantly find myself adjusting and acting all uncomfortable when i sit on leather and worse,if im wearing a dress or shorts. But hey;thats my opinion! so if you're a leather fan, bear no grudges. lol!

 

However,if you have to consider either options,here's what you must know;
While leather offers a clean, sophisticated and modern look that’s easy to maintain, you can sometimes be restricted on things such as colour, unlike fabric that offers you thousands of colour and pattern combinations to fit in with your existing or planned décor. Having said that, fabric does take a little more care and attention to maintain its great looks. There are pros and cons with both but lets look at these in a little more detail.

Some people find leather too cold when touched.
