How should I cover my L-Shaped/Sectional?
We just purchased a used leather sectional. I’ve looked in stores and you can’t exactly buy covers for them like you can couches. The leather is very worn. Also, I was thinking of buying 2 covers, but the cushion that puts the sofa together isn’t seperated, if that makes sense?? Any ideas on how I can cover the sofa with making it look nice?

If you slipcover it, you won’t be happy. The fabric will slide all over.

Why not enjoy the beauty of a leather sectional? send me some pictures and I can easily help you resolve the wear and have a new looking piece again- even if you want to change the color. http://www.DIYLeatherSolutions.com
Surefit is a good brand to look into, and here’s a blurb about their sectional covers:
"Sure Fit has launched a 3-piece sectional cover (also fits reclining sectionals). Each sectional section comes with right and left arm attachments for flexibility. Whether you choose the 2 or 3 seat design, every option is covered by including separate arms in every package–one for a right arm and one for a left. No arms? No problem. You don’t need to use either arm cover! Prices range from $67.15-$152.15. Special order only. "
If I were you, I’d put away some money as you can and look into getting it reupholstered, if you have a good frame and like the look of the sectional you got. While it’s expensive, it still might be cheaper than the cost of a new leather sectional, and you’ll get the look of new.
