Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent fading, warping, and cracking. Use coasters and mats to shield the surface from heat and liquids, and ensure that your home’s humidity levels are consistent to avoid wood expansion and contraction.

Leather furniture should be dusted with a soft cloth and vacuumed regularly to remove debris from crevices. Condition the leather every 6-12 months to keep it supple and prevent cracking, and protect it from heat sources and direct sunlight. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth, and avoid using harsh chemicals. Minor scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or by gently rubbing the area with your fingers.
8. How often does indoor furniture need to be replaced? The lifespan of indoor furniture varies depending on several factors, including the type of furniture, the quality of materials used, and how well it’s maintained. Generally, high-quality furniture can last many years, often decades, with proper care. In summary, while there’s no fixed timeline for replacing indoor furniture, paying attention to quality, usage, and maintenance will help you determine when it’s time for an update. For high-use items, expect a lifespan of 7-15 years, but with proper care, well-made furniture can last much longer.
