Choosing the right sofa is more than just picking a design you love — it’s about finding the perfect blend of style, comfort, and practicality for your lifestyle. At Rico Furniture, we know that one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to go for leather or fabric upholstery.
Both options have their own charm and benefits, and the best choice depends on your home environment, design preference, and how you use your sofa day to day. Let’s break it down.
Leather Sofas – Timeless, Durable, and Easy to Maintain
If you want a sleek, sophisticated look that only gets better with age, leather could be the right fit.
