Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 24, 2010 11:21 am Well, as the title states, I'm interested to hear peoples opinions on leather couches, and there comfort levels in summer without air conditioning. I'm currently looking at furniture and finding it difficult to decide between leather and fabric. Have grown up with fabric, but there are so many nice leather suites now. I remember as a young child as one of my grandparents places that they were not that bad, and were actually nice and cool to sit on, but I also remember one that was in the sun and it was like sitting on a hotplate! Opinions appricated. Cheers Richo Some people don't have time to do the job right the first time, but seem to have plenty of time to fix their mistakes.

Ours in infront of a window that faces north, but it has redishades over it at the moment, and come summer, we'll hopefully have shutters up, and they'll be turned up so direct sun still doesnt hit the lounge.
