Plaid or blanket
This is the simplest solution to the problem. Throw a blanket over the sofa. A little carelessly, as if they had just taken refuge with them. So you can skillfully hide a shabby back or armrests, a stain on the seat.
By the way, for such an emergency it would be nice to have elastic covers that can be bought at any online store. They are inexpensive, and the result is really in a couple of minutes.
Pillows and toys
Another instant way to hide the imperfections of a sofa is to put as many pillows on it as possible. A couple of bright pillowcases - and attention will be distracted.
Bright rug for distraction
This technique is based on knowledge of human psychology. First of all, we pay attention to bright objects, and those that do not stand out against their background remain almost unnoticed. So, if you throw a bright rug on the floor in front of the couch - guests. They will look at him, not at the shabby armrests.
You won't be able to make a rug in a couple of minutes, so you have to show your imagination.
Objects of art on the wall
And again psychology, which will help out if you do not have a bright carpet. Painting is what will help you. Something remarkable enough, moreover, it must be in sight for the guests to look at it, and not the sofa. Or not a painting, but some other art object. The main thing is to place it correctly.
Houseplants
Living greenery, especially if it is well-groomed and looks healthy, is an excellent way to disguise any flaws, be it a sofa or a hole in the wall.
Try to be an illuminator
Light scenario - now this concept is gradually becoming more and more popular and understandable. For video bloggers and professional filmmakers, this art is vital. And you can easily take it into service.
Use romantic lighting, such as a treat table, and leave the sofa in the shade. You will need a floor lamp or sconce, maybe candles. In such and such a variant, no one will look at the sofa at all.
In general, it is not at all necessary to change the sofa - you can drag it over, and on your own. How to do it - in this video:
