Is Restoration Hardware Worth Restoring?
→ Restore your leather investment!
Restoration Hardware sofas are renowned for their exceptional leather quality and craftsmanship. Understanding the unique characteristics of Restoration Hardware leather, how to properly maintain it, and what to expect in terms of long-term care and costs can significantly enhance its longevity and appearance. Restoring your Restoration Hardware leather sofa is a wise investment for several reasons:
- Repair vs. Replace Savings: Restoring a quality sofa is often more cost-effective than replacing it.
- Preserve Value: RH leather furniture holds its value well due to its reputation for quality and durability.
- Quality Leather: RH sofas are typically made with high-quality aniline leather, which is known for its durability and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time.
What Type of Leather Does Restoration Hardware Use?
→ Leather DescriptionRestoration Hardware uses various types of leather for its furniture collections, each selected for its unique characteristics and aesthetic appeal. Your Restoration Hardware leather sofa may be crafted from the following:
Pure Aniline Leather
Top grain pure aniline leather is minimally treated to retain the hide’s natural appearance and texture, making it the most luxurious and costly leather option. With minimal protective coating, it is more prone to staining, color fading, and surface scratches, thus requiring careful maintenance. This grade of leather upholstery is particularly valuable because it highlights the leather's inherent surface characteristics, adding unique character.
Distressed Leather
Distressed finished leather is treated to have an aged or worn look from the start, offering a rugged and vintage style. It features a rougher texture and more pronounced markings, creating an antique appeal that is both distinctive and durable. As it ages, distressed leather develops a patina that further enhances its vintage look, ensuring it remains a stylish and enduring choice for any setting.
Wax Pull-Up Leather
Wax pull-up finished leather is enhanced with oils and waxes to create a glossy or weathered look. This type is distinctive because stretching it redistributes the oils or waxes, lightening the color in those areas. At Restoration Hardware, twelve layers of wax are applied by hand, enhancing the leather’s durability while maintaining a soft and flexible feel. However, this finished upholstery needs special leather care as it is susceptible to fading under direct sunlight and can easily pick up stains from body oils and water.
How We Restore Restoration Hardware Leather Sofa
→ Step by StepAssessment
As noted, the leather types used by Restoration Hardware require specific care methods. Their aniline leather, in particular, is soft and luxurious but highly sensitive to staining and sun damage. Before proceeding, we evaluate the leather's condition and finish.
Leather Cleaning
We start by gently removing surface dirt and buildup, which can obscure the leather's natural luster. Our cleaning methods deeply cleanse the leather surface, ensuring that all grime and contaminants are eliminated without harming the leather's integrity.Leather Conditioning
After cleaning, we apply our conditioner that is specially formulated for aniline leather. This step moisturizes, softens, and strengthens the leather, enhancing its durability. Our conditioning process also polishes the leather and provides a barrier against water spotting and cracking, keeping the leather supple and resilient.Leather Recoloring
Regular use can lead to minor scuffs and discoloration. Our specialized leather retouching service targets these imperfections, treating the leather to renew the color finish and return a uniform appearance.Leather Protection
We apply of a protective finish that seals the color finish and shields the leather from water spotting damage. This layer preserves its rich color and texture.
