How to disguise an old sofa in 5 minutes if guests are already on the doorstep? 6 cool and inexpensive ideas

Hiding a worn rug by the front door is as easy as shelling pears. But what to do with a whole sofa, if guests suddenly have to come to you, not everyone will figure it out! You can't put it in a closet or push it into an inconspicuous corner... But there is a way out of this situation!

Good afternoon dear friends!

In the life of every piece of furniture there comes a moment when it is still quite functional, but at the same time not very beautiful in appearance. This is especially true for upholstered furniture. Slightly worn upholstery, claws from pets, a couple of stains that cannot be removed - all this spoils her appearance. And as a result, it has an extremely negative effect on the decoration of the apartment as a whole. So, in order to leave a pleasant impression of your home and not blush in front of guests for the well-worn types of sofa, I propose to cover up these annoying shortcomings, or, in extreme cases, distract from them Attention.

And how to do it and what you need to have on hand in order to shift the focus from an unsightly piece of furniture,

I will tell you in this material.

1.Cover him with a blanket. A bedspread or a beautiful blanket in the blink of an eye will hide any damage not only on the seat, but also on the back or armrests from prying eyes. Just throw it on top with a kind of carelessness, or, conversely, fold it in some unusual way. And VOIL, some two minutes, but there were no shortcomings.

If there is a need to completely hide the entire seat and back of the sofa, then you can use any fabric that would ideally fit the interior of your room.

2.Add pillows to it. No blanket? No problem! A few pillows are also great at masking blemishes on your old sofa. Gather all the decorative bedding in your home and place it along the back. By the way, do not be afraid to experiment and mix models of different sizes, colors and shapes in this matter.

Perhaps, as a result, you will collect such a successful composition that it will become an adornment of both the sofa and the entire living room as a whole.

3.Shift the focus to the carpet. If your sofa does not have pronounced flaws - it just looks not entirely new and generally shabby - then it would be better to divert curious glances from it. For example, placing an unusual carpet next to it. With "tasty" colors, relief texture or original shape.

It can be a carpet with a print in "Scottish" cage or even a rug in the form of an animal skin. Although the latter option is already a little out of trend! But here, as they say, the taste and color ...

4.Decorate the wall behind it with art. All kinds of paintings, even in their own hand, are also an excellent distraction. The main thing is to use medium-format pieces for decoration, which will be visible even from afar. They will fill the vacuum around the sofa and draw all the attention away from it. In principle, you can hang it on the wall a little smaller ...

Then you will need to make a stylish composition of them so that it looks balanced, and not chaotic.

5.Arrange indoor plants and flowers around it. If the guests are about to come and there is no time to look for masking accessories, then you can place decorative plants and home flowers near the sofa. However, it is advisable to use large plants with lush greenery or flowers.

Then even a couple of pots to the left and right of the sofa will be enough, as they will noticeably update the atmosphere, add freshness and exoticism to the interior. And thus they will disguise the worn-out sofa!

6.Use a design trick. In studios and living rooms combined with kitchens, one design trick can be used. The essence of which is to competently mix colors from different functional areas. For example, you can put pillows or a blanket on the sofa, the colors of which will overlap with the shades of other interior items (kitchen sets, large household appliances, etc.).

As a result, your sofa will simply get lost and become an almost invisible element in the interior.
