We are looking to buy a new sofa that isn't to expensive but is not as bulky as what we already have. There is a couple at IKEA that we like but are worried about the durability. This wouldn't be THE LAST COUCH WE EVER BUY but we would like to get a few years out of it if possible.
We are getting offered a couple of couches from a family member who just passed. One is a 7' Brown Hide a bed which is pretty compact looking (not overly bulky IMO) and the Other is Green Velvet and has a very sleek look to it. They are both in very very nice condition but obviously the colors would not work at our house. How hard and expensive is it to do a custom slip cover that doesn't look like crap?
Any suggestions would be great.
