Dress a sofa
{Before}
Uninviting, Uninspiring & that bookshelf wasn't helping either
What can I say, the sofa is probably the largest piece of furniture besides the bed that anyone purchases for their home. It has quite an impact, it can make the room feel warm or it can do the exact opposite. Because our lounge is so small it wasn't easy finding one that would not take over the whole space. Top Tip: before purchase a sofa make sure to take down the measurements and mask it out on the floor with tape. This will give you a sense of how much room it will actually take up. You'd be surprised at how large some sofas are, they always look smaller in the showroom.
{After}
Not quite finished yet, but it's much better than it was before. The texture from the cowhide is tactile and earthy while the animal print sequence cushion adds a bit of spangle. The union jack was an impulse buy..but it works!
Here are some tips on how to achieve the look
1. Add interest by adding a bright coloured or neutral throw
2. Introduce some scatter cushions & remember they don't all have to be the same shape or size
3. Animal skins work in almost any room
4. To keep it interesting change them every so often. You can swap them with the ones on your bed or simply put them on a chair elsewhere
