Changing the Color of a Couch

RE: Changing the Color of a Couch By redhatterb (220) Profile Contact Many years ago, in the late 50s, early 60s, I had an aunt who would use something on her couch, to enhance the color of it. I'm assuming back then it was something she brushed on. The couch always felt stiff afterwards, until it faded off and needed to be redone. I always liked the color of the couch before she did it, it was kind of a sage color. I imagine she did this brush on stuff when she felt the couch was looking kind of old. The dye that she put on it made it closer to an olive color. I guess being they make such nice slip covers now, I would do that. My Mother used slip covers, but they weren't near as nice as the ones now.

I can take it off each week and throw it in the washer. Be sure to measure your couch to see what size sheets you would need.

Eventually it will start rubbing off as a powder. Slip covers are cheap and fit great, for many types of couches.

I agree, if possible, on slipcovers. Google "slipcovers" or "couch covers" and see if anything works. If it's a weird color, could you cover up a lot of the surface with pillows mostly in other colors, or runners over the back and sides. Good luck, I know how much sofas cost.

Contact Instead of going through all that trouble of finding a fabric spray, why don't you purchase a couch slip cover. Posted on 03/27/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
