If you are revamping your interior, a unique way to update your décor is with a new floor made out of leather.
Wait, what?
That’s right, leather. Leather flooring is the ultimate in flooring luxury, both unexpected and welcome at the same time. The leather used for your new floor is made with the center part of the cowhide, which makes it very strong and very thick. While it may not be as durable as hardwood, it can definitely hold its own. When cared for properly — just buff it with a soft cloth; don’t clean it — a leather floor will last you a long time, impressing visitors with its beauty.
Leather flooring is naturally beautiful and warm underfoot. Installing leather flooring into your home is not just a beautiful idea, it’s practical too. Leather flooring comes in many patterns – like checkerboard, on a diagonal, straight, with or without inserts, or in a herringbone pattern. Leather flooring also comes in many different sizes and colors, which makes it easy to customize your look. You can frame the leather floor with wood, leather, or brass. You can also stain the leather floor, as well. The cost of a leather floor is comparable to high-quality hardwood or custom wool carpet.
You can install leather flooring in just about any room in the house – except for high moisture areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. Leather flooring goes along with any kind of décor scheme – from country to contemporary to modern. It is particularly useful in areas that have a lot of activity, like a rec room or a living room.
When contemplating what to put down on your floor, consider the fact that other natural flooring materials will age over time – and subject to normal wear and tear – but leather flooring has the ability to adjust to the environment it’s laid in. When installed by a flooring technician and cared for properly, a leather floor can last up to three decades. Leather flooring, with its ability to adjust, will age gracefully over the years and just look better as it gets older.
