Between the high price tag and potentially stressful delivery process, there’s no denying that replacing your old couch with a new model can be a total pain. But what choice do you have when your old couch is covered in red wine stains or simply doesn’t look as fresh as it once did?

To prove our point, we did a little digging and rounded up seven stylish sofa covers that will upgrade your old sofa in seconds. From affordable floral numbers to box cushion styles, here’s what we found.
