Experimenting with trends is one of the great joys of interior design, but there is something to be said about sticking with classic pieces.
Courteney Cox's living room is proof of this sentiment, where a leather sofa sits among a a sleek credenza, dark painted walls, and a large houseplant (as well as Courteney's drum set, which she plays in the Instagram clip).
With 'anti-trend' styling choices dominating our social media feeds, Courteney's choice to include a rich, brown leather sofa in her living room ultimately feels trend-forward in the sense that it's undeniably timeless and chic.

With its elegant design and outstanding durability, this three-seater sofa is a highlight of the modern home. It is upholstered in a high-quality PU leather fabric that is not only comfortable to the touch, but also easy to clean and maintain.
This leather pillow adds visual interest and texture to any other colored sofa or accent chair. We love its timeless aesthetic and how its faux leather exterior is set to stand the test of time.
This gentle cleaner does the trick when it comes to removing dirt and residue from leather sofas, accent chairs, and even handbags.
A staple in design styles ranging from mid-century modern to Scandi minimalist, leather sofas are refined and elegant, instantly elevating any living space they are placed in. However, they have additional, more functional benefits, too, according to experts.
'The upholstery fabric you select will define not only the look but also the practicality of your sofa,' says Dimitri Pappas from My Furniture.'For homes with pets or children, easy-to-clean fabrics like leather, microfibre, or textured weaves are ideal.'
It should be noted that water is actually a big no when it comes to cleaning a leather sofa. Instead, opt for a gentle yet effective cleaner that also moisturizes.
'Leather should be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth and a pH-balanced leather cleaner,' Dimitri says.
'Avoid harsh chemicals, which can dry out or discolour the material. Conditioning the leather periodically helps to keep it supple and prevent cracking.'
Leather sofas can also be layered with leather pillows for a luxe look, or you can mix and match fabrics (for example, a cashmere throw blanket) for a dynamic appearance. Regardless of your styling preferences, you can rest assured that a leather sofa (with the proper care) will stand the test of time.
