We hide flaws and shortcomings! 6 ways to disguise a weathered sofa
Have minor mechanical defects appeared on your sofa? For example, a couple of indestructible specks, slight abrasion or puffs? This is normal, as any furniture wears out in one way or another with daily use. And what to do in this case, not to buy a new one?
Good afternoon dear friends!
Not at all! The situation can be corrected in at least two less radical ways: hide the "traces of time" or divert attention from them. And this can be done quite simply, quickly and, which is important, economically. In general, I will not rant for a long time, but I will tell you 6 practical ideas to not only freshen up an old sofa, but also bring a unique decorative touch to your home interior.
By the way, the techniques described below can be applied to any other furniture. The main thing is, do not be afraid to experiment and approach the solution of the problem creatively!
1.Stylish case. The most common way to hide flaws is to put a cover on the sofa. Fortunately, today the choice is diverse: from factory-made universal products to individual, unique cases to order. It all depends on your needs, design features of the sofa, textiles ...
As a result, you and the family budget will save (the price of the issue is not comparable), and refresh the sofa, and emphasize the design idea in the interior.
2."Rich" textiles. You can also hide a stain or a large puff with a blanket or decorative pillows. A blanket is useful, for example, if a flaw is "located" on the armrest or seat of the sofa, and the pillows will help close the back.
It is not necessary to choose bright textiles with patterns and ornaments. It will be enough to use a thin plain comforter or simple cotton or linen pillowcases.
3.Fashionable coffee table. If your sofa as a whole looks worn and faded, then it would be better to distract attention from it. For example, using a modern stylish coffee table. Which will not only stand out brightly against the background of the entire interior of the room, but also add functionality to the space. Since you will have a place for a desk lamp, gadgets and remotes, newspapers and magazines.
As a result, no one will even look at your furniture, which has lost its former appearance.
4.Spectacular carpet. A new carpet or small rug will help you solve two problems at once. You will distract attention from the shabby piece of furniture, and add comfort to the room. The main thing is to choose the floor covering in the interior style, so that you can bring the atmosphere of the room to perfection.
You can also use a relatively new design trend and brighten your room with a combination of a few small rugs. You just need to put them on top of each other. That's the whole trick!
5.Distracting decor. Vases, candlesticks, paintings, photographs, mirrors, clocks... - all this can and should be used for a distraction. At the same time, it is not necessary to purchase new decor elements, they can be brought from another room. For example, how about placing a stylish floor lamp or a collection of decorative bottles near the sofa? And hang a unique composition of family photos or a couple of modern paintings on the wall.
Then, looking at such an original decor, no one will pay attention to the old furniture.
6.Natural finishing touch. Houseplants will be another bright and fashionable solution. But not ordinary ones, but with rich greens. They are able to change any interior in the blink of an eye, adding freshness and natural beauty to it. Therefore, move them closer to the sofa or place them on a shelf, nightstand or under the ceiling ...
In general, create a point of attraction for attention and then, with a high probability, you will forget about your unattractive sofa.
