So You Want to Update your Shabby (No Longer Chic) Overstuffed Sofa

Multi-fabric mohair shabby chic sofa  with pillows

We loved it
We had to have it
It’s sooooo over!

Didn’t you just love that huge overstuffed sofa in multi-fabrics?
Didn’t you think that adding a zillion pillows was the most gorgeous design ever?

Now, how can you UPDATE that sofa?

Try this!

Begin by removing all the mushy pillows tricked out with formal trim, overdone tassels, and ornate fringe. They’re done. Let go. Say bye bye.

Updated Sofa

Breathe.

Go out and buy two matching (yes, matching!) rectangular, tailored pillows and place them in symmetry on the sofa. Shop at Restoration Hardware, West Elm, and Pottery Barn.

Voilà! Simple. Crisp. Updated.
