How to Protect a Leather Couch From the Sun

Place a leather couch in a location that avoids sunlight (if possible) and direct heat. This includes away from windows, doors, skylights, high-intensity lamps, radiators and heating vents.

Hang heavy or blackout curtains to cover windows that let sunlight stream in on your leather couch, if you can't position your furniture away from the sun. Keep the curtains closed on sunny days. You can also use opaque blinds to block the sunlight.

Use a good-quality leather conditioner on your leather couch every six to 12 months. Read and follow the manufacturer's directions in order to achieve the best results. Leather conditioners are usually creams that you apply with a clean, soft cloth. Leather conditioner will help protect your couch from fading, as well as keep the material clean and supple.
