When Your Couch Is Giving You ‘I’ve Seen Better Days’ Vibes
HOW TO GIVE YOUR COUCH A NEW LEASE ON LIFE
Picture this: You're cosied up on your couch, scrolling through Pinterest hearting all the interior images of beautiful homes. You look around your own space, and ask "I can’t afford a new couch, so how do I give my old, comfy couch a glow-up?" I can tell you now, that you’re not the only one thinking this! I recently got a message from one of my followers asking the very same thing, and it got me thinking – how can we revive our beloved couch without breaking the bank? So, I’m here to share some easy-to-action tips & tricks for your tired (or not-so-tired) couch…
TIP #1 | THROW ON A THROW
Let's starts with an effortless game-changer – throws! A carefully chosen throw will instantly elevate the look of your couch. Plus, it's the perfect camouflage for those inevitable stains (I won't judge). When choosing a throw, consider texture and colour. Your couch will thank you.
TIP #2 | CUSHIONS, THE REAL MVPs
A simple cushion refresh can work wonders for a tired couch. It’s a bit like getting a new haircut or a new pair of shoes - you instantly feel better. When choosing cushions, they can complement your throw, or if you're feeling bold, throw caution to the wind and mix 'n' match colours and pattern for a burst of vibrancy.
TWO LOOKS, ONE COUCH: BOLD NEUTRALS vs BRIGHT COLOURS
I’m all about injecting personality into your space, so I had some fun and created two different throw & cushion combos for you. Imagine your couch is a canvas, and these accessories are the paint. Choose bold neutrals if you're feeling classy but subtle, or dive into the world of bright colours for that extra pop of personality. Which look resonates with your style?
And because I'm all about simplicity with a dash of chic, here's a trick up my sleeve – the bedspread hack!
For those laid-back boho vibes and a touch of modernity, grab a beautiful linen bedspread and drape it over your couch. This will make your couch instantly comfortable and effortlessly cool. Add some cushions, throw on a throw (pun intended), and voila – a couch that's not just ‘new’, but a total vibe.
Your couch is more than just furniture; it's a reflection of your style, your vibe, your life. Let’s give it the TLC it deserves and transform it into the star of your living room!
