How Do You Darken a Worn Leather Couch?

To darken a worn leather couch, you can apply oil to the leather, following these steps:

1. Choose your oil: Mink oil is a popular choice, but other oils suitable for leather care will also work (e.g., neatsfoot oil, leather conditioners designed to darken).

2. Patch test: Apply a small amount of the chosen oil to an inconspicuous area of the couch. Use small, circular motions. This is crucial to ensure you like the color change and that the oil doesn't react negatively with the leather.

3. Let it dry: Allow the oil to dry for at least 12 hours. The leather will naturally darken over time as it absorbs the oil. You may need to apply multiple coats to achieve the desired darkness.
