Cover those old couches and chairs

[thohome]

We all know that somtimes decluttering and storage of the decluttered items can be costly. We also know that replacing a couch and chair to make a room look better can be costly as well. Well how about trying Couch and Chair covers there a lot less expensive and can dress up a old dingy looking peice of furniture in 5 minutes. Make sure to incorporate colors from your room into the fabric that you choose. You don't want it to stand out like a sore thump. But you don't want to make it warm and inviting.

This is a very easy and inexpensive way to change the look of older furniture and make it fit in with the new room and paint you are creating.

You can either buy couch and chair covers or you can purchase different patterns of cloth to do it with.

When I was younger and had small children at home, I would buy sheets in the color I wanted in the room and use them as couch and chair covers. That way it was very easy to just remove them when soiled and toss them in the washing machine.

You can also use sheets for window treatments in lieu of curtains. When put up right, you cant tell the difference and sheets can get the same look you want but at a much lower price.

Making sheets into curtains is a wonderful idea. Many kids have the cartoon charaters in their rooms so using those sheets to make curtains would really match. Just slip the rod through the finished edge and use 2 to 4 sheets per window depending on how big the window is and ta da. curtains.

Yep they make great window coverings and you could use

color place matts as side table covers or even glue them together and

make a great rug for in front of the bed or sew the cloth ones together

and make a rug and add a color lamp and you got a great room and

not that expensive
