Old sofas may be refurbished, or you can also try other alternatives to give your couch a spanking new look. You could use a large cotton throw blanket to cover your couch. It is an easy and inexpensive alternative. Simply find a blanket that matches your color palette in the living room and throw it on. You could decorate your cover further by adding accents such as beads or glitter.

You could also put some tassels at the edges to give it a more luxuriant look. Adding accessories lends a personalized touch that shows your creative side. Invest in more than one blanket so you can launder the used one without leaving your couch bare. Cotton is the perfect material for this project because it is soft, smooth, and very easy to clean.
