Spruce up your sofa!
Our sofa has been looking a little bit dated for a while now. I love it but it has started to fade and its rich red colour is more of a burnt out red rather than the vibrant colour that it once was.
While i’ d love to be able to buy a new sofa, at the moment it just isn’t possible – my credit card balance certainly wouldn’t agree and it ‘s not covered by our insurance.
So, this got me thinking – how could I spruce up our sofa, without getting rid of it entirely? The answer that I came up with is: throws. Throws are a great way to cover up fading furniture and to stop even more wear and tear. They aren’t a permanat solution by any means, but for a few months, it will make my living room feel cosy rather than threadbare, so i’ve been scouring the web to find the best throws out there!
Here are some of my favourites! Matching the deep red of my sofa is this lush basket weave throw from online retailer very.co.uk. Plus, I bought 2 of them and managed to save some pennies!
For texture and colour, i’m also a little bit in love with this Ofelia throw from Ikea – it looks really nice and snuggly.
I’m also a massive fan of this loose knit throw from M&S – it’s not red, but I think that it would complement the room well, especially if I add in a nice mix of cushions!
