I: What is the leather for Automotive interior decoration
When we talk about leather for interiors and car upholstery we mean that material that goes to cover the interior parts of the passenger compartment of a vehicle. These parts include the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, armrests, head restraints, doors and sometimes even the roof. Leather, like any other material, is subject to wear and even if real leather is much more resistant than other materials (such as imitation leather or alcantara) it will sooner or later need to be replaced or renewed. The leathers used to cover car interiors are often the same as those used in the furniture sector, i.e. large chrome-tanned bovine leathers, resistant and suitable for covering large surfaces.
II: Advantages of leather for Automotive interior decoration
Leather for car upholstery has numerous advantages that go beyond the simple aesthetic benefit. Certainly a car with leather upholstery is characterized by its connotations of elegance and refinement, but, in addition to a very pleasant aesthetic impact, the genuine leather seats first of all have characteristics of greater comfort and breathability and are also far more resistant than to classic fabric seats as they do not get damaged or wear out easily over time. Finally, the interior and genuine leather are extremely easier to clean and maintain.

What are the most used leathers to cover car interiors? The most used leathers for car upholstery are chrome-tanned whole cowhides with a pigmented finish (corrected grain). This type of leather represents the best compromise between look, cost and durability over time. There are cases in which more precious leathers are used, such as nubuck leather or full-grain leathers, but it is necessary to counteract a greater delicacy of the material.
leather that can be coated with a synthetic material that is why it is also referred to as coated or protected leather. It is the most versatile due to the synthetic coat that goes over the hide. The hide retains its natural dark tan (usually dark gray) since it is the protective layer that gives the upholstery the desired pigmentation.
The manufacturer has the option of using a thick pigmentation layer to protect the hide better or go for high-end thin coatings that not only protect the processed hide well but also retain that natural feel and look. Thickly coated variants are cheaper to produce since the manufacturer can use low-quality hides and count on the thick protective coating to mask the flaws. These less expensive or thicker coatings will feel more vinyl like or stiff. Thick coatings are usually used in cheaper vehicles because the coating hides the natural flaws in the leather, making it less expensive to finish.
Most car interiors use pigmented finishes. This gives one the freedom to do a perfect balance between cost and looks and end up something that is as close to that perfect upholstery as one can afford.

How to choose the most suitable leather for your car? Of course, a lot depends on your personal taste and also on the colors of the car. A car that has dark exteriors may need light upholstery and vice versa. However, we must also reflect on the practicality of the upholstery: light leather seats, in fact, tend to get dirty more easily and need more maintenance. Those that are too dark, on the other hand, can heat up very easily when hit by the sun's rays. Red seats can be tacky in cars that aren't luxurious. To be sure of buying quality leather, always prefer full grain leather: it is the best one from an aesthetic point of view and also the most resistant over time.
