How to cover up an old shabby sofa so that it doesn't look shabby. 5 practical ideas
There always comes a moment when a well-worn sofa begins to attract attention, BUT, unfortunately, not from the best side, but vice versa - its unattractiveness and even imbalance compared to the rest of the room. You can definitely go out and buy a new one! But do you know the prices? For a high-quality and decent copy. No?
Good afternoon dear friends!
And in vain, because a new sofa sometimes costs like a middle-class car! In addition, there is another reason - the lack of confidence that the new piece of furniture will be as comfortable and practical as the old sofa. And is there any point in buying a new one, if the existing mechanism is still quite capable of long-term operation, and its damage is only external? This means that you need to solve the problem "superficially", in the literal sense of the word! Therefore, today I prepared 5 effective ways to camouflage a sofa that will help you save money and diversify the atmosphere in the living room.
Of course, there is another option - to take and order a banner / repair / restoration of furniture. But again
the price of the issue, which starts from 5000 rubles, not counting the cost of textiles, etc.! Therefore, I recommend that you take your time and try to keep your "favorite" with you, just slightly changing its appearance.1.Faux fur. The peculiarity of such a solution is visual luxury and soft “involvement” with the body. But to achieve the best result, you will not need to close the sofa "from head to toe", but just as if accidentally throw a cape over it, without aligning the faux fur with an ardent perfectionism.
By the way, such a simple technique will help you not only breathe a second life into the old sofa, but also bring a bright and “warm” design touch to the interior of your living room.
2.Plaid. It would seem that the reception is banal. But no! Of course, if you get out of your "bins" a synthetic blanket with inconsistent red-brown patterns, then the solution to the issue will not shine with novelty at all. On the contrary, you will return to the past era, in the 90s, aggravating the situation even more. The blanket should be interesting and pleasant to the touch. Therefore, buy a new one, which, in addition, will be in perfect harmony with the interior!
Moreover, the pattern, texture and color can now be chosen for every taste and wallet. Or even tie it yourself: for example, with pompoms! I am sure that such a time-consuming decision will not go unnoticed not only by the household, but also by the guests of your home.
3.Cushions. Well this is a classic! Just throw lots of pillows on your sofa. They can shine with all the colors of the rainbow or be made in monochrome. The decision is only yours!
The key to this powerful pillow attack is to shift visual interest from your shabby couch to a shallow decor.
4.Patchwork. How about moving to a more serious and unique method? That is, to create a patchwork sofa cover (from many scraps of fabric)! The only thing, when creating such a cape, pay your attention to the main color palette in the interior, so that it blends harmoniously with it.
A fashionable solution for people who have at least a little experience in sewing business and have remarkable patience.
5.Carpet. Where without it! Floor, walls... sofa! And if suddenly you decide on such an extraordinary option, then I recommend that you carefully consider the texture of the carpet. It should be pleasant to the touch, visually interesting and (preferably) natural!
I am sure that admirers of ethnic style will appreciate it! After all, the carpet on the sofa is another step towards achieving a boho-style atmosphere.
