Spice up your sofa with throws and cushions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To modernise, give your sofa a makeover and breathe new life into it, what could be better than using soft cushions and throws? As well as being comfortable, they\u2019re also a great way to add a fresh decorative touch to your sofa\u2019s upholstery! It\u2019s a d\u00e9cor solution you shouldn\u2019t overlook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few tips and advice on keeping your sofa in good condition. Throws are very handy for protecting your sofa\u2019s upholstery, particularly for leather or faux leather sofas, where the upholstery is especially delicate. Covering your sofa with a throw will help minimise direct friction and also prevent stains on the surface of your sofa! Throws are also very cosy! It\u2019s always lovely to wrap yourself up in a soft, warm blanket. Finally, throws also add a touch of style to your home. It\u2019s up to you to choose the material, colour and size to make your living room even more stylish \u2013 and there\u2019s something to suit every budget! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you place your throw on a bed or a sofa<\/a>, it\u2019s important to know how to drape it properly so that it adds a touch of elegance to the room. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together a selection of four different ways to drape it over a sofa to achieve the best possible effect! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The throw in the centre<\/strong>: Placing a throw in this way ensures a formal, classic style \u2013 it\u2019s ideal for a chic and elegant interior! Light-coloured throws such as white, beige and taupe are best for achieving a look that\u2019s simple yet distinguished! Of course, if you have a slightly more vintage sofa, you could easily opt for brighter colours with retro patterns! The key is always to ensure it harmonises with the rest of the d\u00e9cor. When folding the throw, we recommend folding it into thirds to end up with a neat rectangle!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The throw draped over the armrest<\/strong>: Draping a blanket over an armrest is the perfect d\u00e9cor trick if you have a sofa with thick, flat armrests; it adds character and style to your living room d\u00e9cor. As for how to fold it, it\u2019s up to you to decide what you like best \u2013 you can fold it into a rectangle or a square. When it comes to colour, there\u2019s nothing better than a splash of bright colour to enhance the back of your leather or fabric sofa. It\u2019ll all create a brighter, more cheerful look! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

A throw that covers the whole sofa<\/strong>: A throw that completely covers the surface of your sofa is sure to add a touch of cosiness to the room. If you\u2019re a fan of cosy, warm d\u00e9cor, this is the ideal solution! Choose a thick, soft fabric for maximum comfort in your living room and to protect your sofa upholstery! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The throw in the corner of the sofa<\/strong>: This way of draping your blanket is ideal for creating an authentic, cosy look. It really adds charm to corner sofas in particular, as the blanket accentuates the corner of the sofa! Draped in a triangle over one of the two sections of the sofa, you can wrap it around yourself in no time at all and enjoy its softness and comfort to the full! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to cushions, there are several options available to you for dressing up your sofa. The first step is to decide on the style of your living room. Opt for lighter-coloured cushions for a contemporary and modern look, and more colourful ones for a Scandinavian or vintage style. The number of cushions is the second step. It\u2019s important to strike the right balance \u2013 neither too many nor too few. We therefore recommend opting for an odd number \u2013 this will give your d\u00e9cor a more stylish look! The shape of the cushions is another factor to bear in mind. Do you prefer square or rectangular cushions? Round ones, or those with an unusual shape? There are various styles available. Here too, the overall style of your room will help guide your choice! Finally, the fabric and material of your cushions will add warmth, softness and comfort to your sofa, giving it a cosier, more comforting feel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Put a cover on your sofa so that it is completely covered<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Covers aren\u2019t just designed to protect your mattress with fabric; they also let you change the look of your sofa to suit your tastes and preferences! There\u2019s no need to buy a brand-new, ultra-trendy sofa, as covers will give your sofa a fresh new look without you having to replace your furniture! What\u2019s more, a sofa cover protects the upholstery \u2013 whether it\u2019s velvet, leather or polyester \u2013 by covering it completely, which is a definite advantage if you want to keep your sofa in good condition for years to come! The covers are also removable, which makes looking after your sofa much easier \u2013 simply pop the cover in the washing machine and your sofa will be spotless again. Say goodbye to stains and unpleasant odours. And to top it all off, you can invest in several covers so you\u2019ll always have a choice when it comes to the atmosphere and style you want to create in your living room! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a made-to-measure cover<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, covers can also be made to measure, which is particularly handy if your sofa has a unique design and\/or is a convertible model. Don\u2019t forget to measure all parts of your sofa carefully \u2013 from the backrest to the armrests and the seat depth \u2013 to avoid any unpleasant surprises when you receive your cover. What\u2019s more, with a made-to-measure cover, you can be sure of receiving a cover that you love and that reflects your style, as you\u2019ll be the one deciding everything! From the colour to any patterns or prints, not to mention the choice of fabric: cotton, polyester, linen\u2026 It\u2019s up to you to choose whatever takes your fancy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making your own sofa cover<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For anyone who enjoys doing their own interior decorating and personalising the style of their living room as much as possible, it\u2019s entirely possible to make your own cover! Of course, you\u2019ll need to follow a few steps and have a solid grounding in sewing, so you don\u2019t end up with a result that\u2019s different from what you wanted! Making your own cover also saves you money! That\u2019s right \u2013 a ready-made cover will always cost more than one you\u2019ve made from scratch! And what a sense of pride it brings to see your beautiful cover on your cosy sofa. Finally, just like with made-to-measure covers, this allows you to choose everything: fabric, size, colours, patterns\u2026 It\u2019s entirely up to you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Add some cushions, pretty throws and a cover, and you\u2019re sure to breathe new life into your sofa! There are plenty of ideas, and the choice on offer is even greater! Whether you decide to add a few extra decorative touches with cushions or go for a complete makeover with covers, you\u2019re free to choose the look you want for your living room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how to cover your sofa at home, you can easily do the same for your mattress, the sofa bed section of your sofa, or even your cushions. Personalise your space to reflect the latest trends and adapt your furniture accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
