I am looking to replace a tired 15 year old faux leather Ikea sofa with a fabric or aniline leather sofa with chaise. 2 fairly messy children - 5 and 9, no pets. Should I risk a fabric sofa with a washable cover - for e.g. Ikea seems to have a few. Or should I buy aniline leather again? Current sofa just seems a bit sticky/cold to touch, but has braved several spills and sketch pens.
In either case, I would really appreciate recommendations in the <£2k range. Needs to seat about 5 + chaise. Thanks ever so much.
