When used intelligently, KOTHEA faux leather upholstery can create amazing and durable effects for interior designers. This crocodile/alligator effect, in an amazing turquoise colourway, is a case in point.

Many interior designers prefer faux leather to real leather for a variety of practical reasons. Mostly it can look the same but, as in the case above, more effects can be readily added to the faux alternative. The faux leathers (or faux skins if you like) really can mimic most hide effects from boar to buffalo from snake to crocodile – there really is a limitless range of possibilities even I just the texture. The faux product is typically easier to make up (as it is available by the metre rather than by the hide) and it is often less expensive and also more readily maintained in excellent condition.

Taylor Llorente Furniture exhibit this amazing crystal ice chandelier that I love.

This wingback chair by Howell is nicely upholstered in orange linen. A bit striking a colour for some, maybe!

Perhaps the colour adds something interesting to this otherwise classic design?

Sourcing upholstery linens can be tricky; KOTHEA have a good range of upholstery weight linens.

London architects, Allies & Morrison,designed this interesting flying, angular staircase above an escalator. Different.

AMOK are a great interior design company and , if you like red, you’ll love this bed.

Great interior architecture and design from 1508. Lovely space with great water feature/indoor pool and seating area.

This is a modern chair with a vintage look. You can compare it to some of the other, more classic designs we’ve showcased. I think you can see the difference. On a budget, I probably would find a place for it in my house a I quite like it. With no limits to my budget; maybe not.

These are clasically upholstered dining chairs from Bernard Rohne Mastercraft. We like the contrast of the purple upholstery and the gold. They are quite formally designed; I guess for more formal dining occasions so you have to respect where the design is coming from. Maybe a little too stark and angular for my own personal tastes, what do you think? Please feel free to tell me that I don’t know what I’m talking about !
