Let this nifty painted leather sofa hack serve as inspiration to revamp what you already have. Jacqueline Alcroft, a teacher and mother of one from South Ayrshire, transformed her old red leather sofa into a stylish new pink suite by ingeniously using Frenchic paint. And this budget DIY job cost less than £20 – as the paint was leftover from when Jaqueline painted the front door in the same shade!

While she was keen to buy a new sofa she couldn’t justify the costs involved in replacing furniture. Instead she decided to take matters into her own hands, with a painted DIY job. Image credit: Jacqueline Alcroft Jacqueline bought a 750ml tin of Frenchic Al Fresco paint in Dusky Blush for £17.95. She initially used the paint to apply three coats to her front door. Pleased with the results she decided to try three coats on the leather sofa. Jacqueline tells Latest Deals ‘I came up with the idea from watching YouTube DIY and upcycling videos.’ ‘I started by cleaning the whole sofa with sugar soap (bought from B&Q) and then letting it dry. I used the dusky blush paint and a Frenchic small round brush. I applied three thin coats leaving at least two hours between coats to let the paint dry.’ Image credit: Jacqueline Alcroft Jacqueline offers this top tip! ‘One very important tip is that the paint isn’t actually designed for material, it’s designed for front doors and so on. So make sure you do a patch test somewhere inconspicuous before going for it!’. Going on to say, ‘Also, if your cushions aren’t removable then use small bits of wood to separate the cushions to paint in between.’ View this post on Instagram •COUCH UPDATE• So I ditched the cover because it was driving me INSANE but discovered @frenchicpaint in this beautiful colour called Dusky Blush, which I am obsessed with and PAINTED my couch!
