Tired, old settees are commonplace and sadly a lot of people’s first response is to get rid of it from their home. We often focus on the fabric and decide that it’s not desirable, but it’s actually something some well-fitted covers from Plumbs can fix.
There is a lot of untapped potential in an old settee or couch. We often see well-loved but tired settees that have had their potential realised and transformed by customers. Our range of designer sofa covers have made it possible for your old settee to Forego a one-way trip to the skip and instead be refreshed and up cycled for your modern and individual taste.
From plain and outdated to floral and vibrant
This traditional 3-seater settee with worn beige patterned fabric has been covered with Protea Blossom – Ruby loose sofa covers.
Before: A traditional 3-seater settee in subtly patterned beige fabric
After: The same 3-seater sofa in contemporary Protea Blossom – Ruby sofa covers
Patterned with a floral design, the summery colour palette of Protea Blossom – Ruby sofa covers complement each other well to give a sofa cover that is quintessentially bright, breezy and refreshing. With the aid of some plain burgundy cushions that simultaneously complement and break up the pattern, this traditional 3-seater settee has gone from a plain piece of furniture that blends into its surroundings to a contemporary focal piece. It’s easy on the eye and yet still manages to keep its traditional core.
There’s no need to dry clean this fabric. For a refresh, simply remove the sofa covers and machine wash on a 30°C cycle and leave out to dry.
If you like the pattern and would like a more muted colour palette for your living room, this loose sofa cover comes as Protea Blossom – Wedgwood. These alternatives still oozes charm and elegance. With neutral-coloured background they will work beautifully with both modern and traditional decors.
