DH wants a leather sofa because of the dog. I think they look old fashioned? Can they ever look modern?

YABU - nothing wrong with a leather suite
YANBU - they look minging

I tried a really fancy designer leather sofa in an expensive furniture shop a few years ago thinking it was going to be uncomfortable but it was the complete opposite, so sadly that £9999 sofa is now my dream sofa. We’ve seen a lookalike in a shop nearby that we’re going to have a look at (pic enclosed) - anyway my point is that it looks modern I think.

Cold to your legs/body in winter.
Too hot and sticky in summer.
Get dog a proper bed. Train him to use it.

Leather’s not for me. Always looks “uninviting” to me somehow.
Each to his own.

They are practical for wiping clean, and I think they look nice BUT I find them seriously uncomfortable....too sticky in summer if you have bare legs, and slippery and cold in the winter. If you put a throw on to try to cosy it up it will slide off, and it is the complete opposite of cosy!
I did have a cream leather sofa when my DC were young and actually it was very easy to keep clean but I much refer the cotton covered sofa I have now. Velvet would be even better!

I have one. I think it’s modern looking.

They are very practical - wipe clean and robust.
