Hello Guys. I want to purchase one sofa for my living room. I don't have any higher budget. I want to know that which one you should recommended to purchase? A leather sofa ? or a fabric sofa? Which one is more suitable for living room and long lasting. ( At least for next 10 years ).

Almost anything you buy today, regardless of price and brand, is crap. I have a 10 year plus, $1800 leather sofa that still today, looks new. But that is only because I don't use it alot. If you are planning on having this sofa be used often in your living room, I would purchase fabric. If your budget is $1000, I would buy a $500 sofa from Rooms To Go, Ashley Furniture or someplace similar in your region. Expect it to last 5 years or so,(if you take care of it), then purchase a new one, down the road.

I would get a darker coloured( or geometric print) fabric to hide stains/dirt to make it last longer. I invested in a custom tailored black denim slipcover That extended the life of my sofa bed a good extra 10 years. It is a very solidly made piece of furniture and eventually I had it recovered in Ultra suede ( plus new cushions) and it conts to be very stylish and comfortable..
If there are good furniture consignment stores in your area I would check them out. Often you can get a good deal on something like a Roche Bois sofa cos some richee riches redo their homes every 5 yrs or are moving and don't want to bring stuff from say the East coast to Florida or Arizona.

All types of sofas are suitable for at least 10 years. Now, Your confusion about leather sofa and fabric sofa, then just know one thing, Leather sofas are made from real leather, which is more durable and comfortable. Also at the same time, it cost too high. Whereas, Fabric sofas are the man made sofas. They are less comfortable as compared to leather sofas and also cost less. I found one guide over internet. You can refer to it. Also, there are large variety of choices and colors are available in fabric sofas ( due to man made ). Hence, I always recommend Fabric Sofas.
