How to Cover a Sectional Couch

Some say a sectional couch is a dream couch. And it’s crystal clear why. Sectional couches are comfortable to sit and lie down on, and their layouts help maximize living room space. They can be placed along the wall or in the middle of the room, accompanied by a coffee table and a TV.

With this abundant seating space comes a minor downside - its unique shape makes it hard to find a cover that would fit snugly. But there’s a solution! Keep reading to find out how to put a sectional couch cover on without a hassle!

How to Put a Couch Cover on a Sectional

Nolan Interior’s couch covers are quick and easy to slip on, taking just minutes to transform your sectional couch. Made from stretchy, durable material, they fit effortlessly without hassle, giving your couch a refreshed, like-new look in no time.

Follow these 5 easy steps to transform your couch and add a new touch to your living room aesthetics:

Step 1: Prep the Couch

Before covering your sectional couch, it’s a good idea to clean it from dust and debris. This way, you will only need to deal with washing covers - a pretty easy chore, considering Nolan Interior’s covers can be washed in your washing machine.

Next, you should detach each piece of your sectional couch, as it will be much easier to put the cover on.

Step 2: Position the Covers

Since your sectional couch is uniquely shaped, we recommend laying each cover over its corresponding section. This way, you will cover the whole couch the right way on your first try.

Step 3: Stretch the Couch Cover Around Each Section

Stretch the cover over each section, ensuring each piece is well placed and fits snuggly. This step is the easiest because the material of our covers is extremely soft to the touch and wraps around cushions easily.

Step 4: Reassemble the Sections

When you cover each section, it is time to reattach the pieces of your sectional couch. If you see any loose ends, fix them to create a smooth and nice fit.

Step 5: Decorate Your Sectional Couch

Let your imagination flow, and add some colorful cushions and throws that match the style of the cover. One of the nice advantages of Nolan Interior’s cover is that it comes in different patterns and colors, allowing you to restyle your living room without purchasing a brand-new couch.

How to Make a Couch Cover for a Sectional

Making a couch cover for a sectional is not for the light-hearted. You will need tools, hours of free time, and patience! Despite such a time-consuming process, your hand-made couch cover will turn out excellent and add a special touch to the room. Next time guests ask where they can find the same couch cover, you will proudly boast about your hard work and talent.

Before you get started, make sure you have all of the tools:

• Fabric
• Thread
• Upholstery zippers
• Pins, measuring tape, cutting tools
• Sewing machine (a must-have for the job)
• Piping or cotton cording

Step 1: Wash the Fabric

If you have brand-new fabric that you haven’t used before, we suggest washing and drying it. This will make it easier to work with the fabric and ensure that it stays fit on your sectional couch.

Step 2: Lay and Pin the Fabric

Your next step is to lay the fabric along the shape of your couch. This way, you will see exactly how much you need before cutting. Then, pin the fabric around the edges and make sure to extend it just a few inches. It will be important for the next steps.

Step 3: Cut the Excess Fabric and Sew It

After pinning the fabric, cut the excess and sew it along the pinned areas. After sewing each section, test the fit and adjust the fit wherever needed.

Step 4: Create and Attach Piping

When you start working on arms, create piping by folding fabric over cotton cording. Pin it between fabric layers and sew to create a polished edge.

Step 5: Add a Front Panel for Arms

Use your fabric to create a panel for the front arm section. Pin it and sandwich piping between the top and bottom layers. This will prevent the front arm from appearing loose when you sew it.
