Couch looking drab, but don’t want to spend a fortune on a new one? Here’s 5 tips on how to give your couch a makeover for cheap!

Give your couch the makeover you’ve always wanted by following our 5 tips!

1. Drop Cloth

Get the biggest drop cloth you can find and lay it over your couch, estimating where you need to cut it. Make sure to leave extra for when you tuck and fold the cloth into the crevices of the couch. The amount of fabric you have is the key to it not moving or slipping. When you’re finished, add a few decorative pillows for a final touch.

2. No-Sew Pillows

Change up your pillows without sewing! Lay a pillow flat over a piece of fabric larger than your pillow. Simply fold the fabric over the pillow and make a knot! Tutorial here.
