How to make an old Crate & Barrel couch look new

What’s wrong with your old Crate & Barrel couch?

“EVERYTHING.”

Some questions to ask yourself before you really decide to get rid of it:
1. Is the frame of the couch broken beyond repair?
2. What about the sofa springs – are they worn out?
3. Are there termites?

If your answer is “yes” to any of the questions, then yes, you should throw it away. If not, there’s always a way to fix it.

Still can’t decide because of other types of damages? Read this article to help you reach a final decision:

I can imagine a couch filled with holes or loose buttons like this wouldn’t look very attractive.

Instead of throwing the couch that’s still ever-so-comfy, put a cover over it and make your old couch look new again.

This is what our customer, Brian, did with his Crate & Barrel Petrie Midcentury sofa.
The structure remains, the cushion remains, yet it looks like a whole different sofa. It’s being given a new life and a new identity, but the core is the same, as Crate & Barrel has long been known for their durable couches.
