Gone are the days when faux leather conjured up images of shiny PVC and tacky vinyl. These days faux leather production is extremely sophisticated and the final product has a realistic leather look and feel.
The obvious pro of choosing faux over real, is that faux leather is animal friendly. But it’s also more affordable. This means less commitment when choosing faux leather for upholstery – you can change up your interiors more regularly, at a fraction of the cost. Just what we like to hear!
Another thing about faux leather is the choice of colour – the possibilities are endless – offering even more opportunities for play when it comes to your interiors.
Below are a few of our favourite looks, with all faux leather from Tessa Sonik.
