We just did a repaint of our first floor (although in creme since it already was to keep it easy) and it just lifts the space. <br /><br />I love the look of a white couch but it's not practical for us with our dog and kiddo. It would just stress me out major. You'll have to tell us what you decide!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678995152526618877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856427032364701225.post-28646136720337930412009-08-24T19:00:20.975+10:002009-08-24T19:00:20.975+10:00we have a white couch and a two year old (it's...we have a white couch and a two year old (it's from ikea) the slip covers come off and can be washed - so not really a drama - go for it!gemma @ loz and dinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201783774091090943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856427032364701225.post-78799661813558007242009-08-21T05:58:22.699+10:002009-08-21T05:58:22.699+10:00Love the idea but white can be tricky unless you a...Love the idea but white can be tricky unless you a. are very neat and tidy b. don't have pets and c. have washable covers. if you can tick all these boxes I say go for it also!

My last couch cover was cream and did get a little grotty but if you can machine wash it that's great. My new cover which is nice and light with a floral pattern will hide marks better I think. Cushions also hide marks when placed just right!Sarah Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869923063594203447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856427032364701225.post-1119670766574500722009-08-19T09:25:55.230+10:002009-08-19T09:25:55.230+10:00Ahh we had this dilemma too.

A white fabric (rather than leather) would probably be far more inviting. <br /><br />I can certainly vouch for micro suede fabric in that it's easy to clean, that said I had a pretty dark couch.<br /><br />Good luck!Casiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058052337028793485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856427032364701225.post-91785102083558666552009-08-19T07:04:56.294+10:002009-08-19T07:04:56.294+10:00i have an off-white sofa as well - it is microfibe...i have an off-white sofa as well - it is microfiber and the cushion covers zip off to be washed. i don't have kids or pets, but i do have people sit on it while they eat pretty often, and have never had a problem i couldn't just wash out :)<br /><br />it looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelulubird/1351638032/in/set-72157602080031702/Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178582521008385267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856427032364701225.post-30526643802531375832009-08-19T04:56:36.774+10:002009-08-19T04:56:36.774+10:00We had an off white sofa which survived 15 years w...We had an off white sofa which survived 15 years with 2 boys - they key is washability I think.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723377593068712400noreply@blogger.com
