Ugly Sofa, any ideas?

[Sunny Alexander]

I am prepping a condo for Airbnb and the sofa is UGLY.  I am on a budget and have been researching creative ways to improve the sofa.  Has anyone successfully used a slipcover for a sleep sofa?

@Sunny Alexander any slip cover is going to go over the entire couch, so it will make it harder to use the sleeper sofa. I understand having a budget, but old and outdated furniture will affect your reviews and income potential. Just something to consider. Spending $800 may seem like a lot, but at $150 a night, you come out ahead after 6 nights. So just a few days extra occupancy in the year will make all your money back.

One idea is use a slip cover, but provide instructions on how to remove and put back on. Not ideal, but it could get you by until you have more money.
