As CP's soon to be resident interior designer, there are some questions that need to be asked.

What type of budget are you looking at?
What type of look are you wanting (a really natural look with scarring from the actual hide, or more of a clean uniform look. They even have embossed leathers (with prints on them)

If you are wanting quality, the best quality is called top grain. It's the really natural looking one with all the scaring from the skin. It's the most durable.
Then you have full grain which is the cut of skin directly below the surface layer of the cow which is more uniform and even.

Anything that is labeled Genuine leather is actually 51% leather 49% PVC (Vinyl)

Make sure that it is dyed straight through otherwise it shows that the leather is cheap crap.

If you need any more info just let me know. I have a list of all the details in one of my binders.
