An interesting way to improve your sofa is to use personalize cushions with a photo or a picture of your choice. There are studios that offer this kind of service and make custom pillows.

Spray

Another method to change the look of your sofa is to paint-spray it. This is a good option for shabby sofas that have lost their original color or in case an owner is tired of the old color. This is a permanent change but the good news is that you can still use any of the above solutions to give a repainted sofa another look. To spray your sofa, cleaning companies, like Quality Cleaning N3, advise you to clean it first, removing stains from it. Then repair any damages and place it in an open area. Choose the color and spray the whole sofa.
