1 It's a cover up
When your sofa has seen better days, but you don't want to splash out on a replacement, the throw is your new best friend. Inexpensive, versatile and available in a myriad of colours, textures and designs, throws are a super quick way to transform the look of your sofa in the blink of an eye. Look for machine-washable throws to help them keep their good looks for longer. If you choose a cotton throw in a pale colour, you can even dye it in the washing machine to give it a new look when you fancy a change.
