How to Welcome Leather Lounge Suites into Your Home
Leather sofa suites are an excellent option for any home. While the first thing you want to do is get comfy, there are a few things you should keep in mind to welcome your new lounge into your home.
Prepare For Your Delivery
Before you purchased your new lounge, you’re likely to have measured the space to ensure it will fit. Hopefully, you’ll have checked your doorways and entrances to ensure that it can be carried in, but you still need to prepare for the delivery. Clear out the area where your new lounge will be located, and if the entryway is restricted, it is a good idea to move any items such as tables or wall art to create a little extra space. You’ll need to let your delivery team know if there are any tricky situations such as staircases, lifts or tight corners that will need to be navigated, so the delivery team can be prepared.
Bear in mind that it is a good idea to position leather lounge suites out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and keep it at least 50 centimetres away from heat sources.
If you’re planning on rehoming your old sofa, you should organise this before your delivery date. The last thing you want to have to deal with is trying to move your old sofa as the delivery truck is pulling up to your home. Organise removing your old sofa once your delivery date is locked in, so you’re not left without somewhere to get comfy.
Once your new lounge is located, you’ll need to remove the protective wrapping. Even if the wrapping is very snug, avoid using sharp tools that could damage the leather.
While you can direct your delivery team to place your new lounge in the right spot, if you do need to move it you need to lift from the base. Don’t be tempted to move your new lounge by dragging it or trying to lift it by the cushions attached to the frame. This is likely to cause damage, and you could risk an injury.
Remember Creases Will Relax
One of the most common issues with leather sofa suites is that there are creases. This can be very disappointing when your brand new lounge has just been delivered. However, it is worth remembering that these creases will relax. Any creasing on the arms and cushions are likely to be a result of the protective packaging that is securely wrapped around the lounge. These creases are not usually permanent and will often work their way out naturally over the coming weeks. You may also notice that the leather feels a little different from the showroom model, but the leather will also soften, just remember to use the seating equally to ensure the cushions evenly soften.
