Leather or Nabuk? Choosing the right material for your home

SentireDesign

When selecting upholstery or furniture finishes, the choice of material plays a crucial role in both aesthetics and durability. Leather and Nabuk are two luxurious options that offer distinct characteristics, textures, and maintenance requirements. But which one is right for your space?


To help you decide, we put together a slideshow highlighting the main differences between leather and nabuk—from appearance and feel to durability and care. Whether you are drawn to the rich patina of traditional leather or the velvety softness of nabuk, understanding their unique properties will help you make an informed decision.


Swipe through to explore the key differences and find out which material best suits your lifestyle and design vision!



Accidents happen! So, remember that leather is more durable and easier to maintain, requiring regular dusting, occasional conditioning, and gentle cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.


Nabuk, on the other hand, is more delicate and requires dry cleaning methods like brushing, using a nubuck eraser for stains, and applying a protective spray to prevent absorption. Unlike leather, nabuk should be kept as dry as possible since it absorbs moisture and stains more easily.


With proper care, both materials will maintain their beauty and last for many years.
