The couch is one of the main features of a living room. If your old couch is starting to show its age, and buying a new one isn’t in your budget, try some of the following methods for giving a dated couch a facelift:

- Add new throw pillows. Changing the throw pillows on your couch is one of the easiest ways to improve its appearance. While throw pillows come in many creative varieties, decorating experts recommend keeping the number of pillows on your couch to around three to avoid a cluttered, overloaded look.

- Stuff saggy cushions. A simple trick to make your couch look new is using foam wraps or cotton batting to wrap the original stuffing inside of cushions that have deflated. This puffs up the cushions and makes them more comfortable to sit on. As you wrap, spray adhesive onto each layer to prevent it from shifting around and making the cushion lumpy.

- Change the legs. Although it may seem like an unimportant part of a couch, the legs play a big role in the overall appearance of your sofa. If you have outdated couch legs, try swapping them out with more modern ones to update the look. Couch legs typically screw off and on easily, and numerous retailers sell replacement sofa legs for less than $50 per set. You can also paint your couch’s old legs to tie them in with the color palette of your living room.
