Fake leather FTW 👍

This! Also had the unintended benefit of being great for babies.

We live at a beach; there's sand everywhere - it's unavoidable.
This coverage involves 2 fitted sheets, a couple towels, and a flannel sheet. Whatever works. It gets vacuumed almost daily, and changed out weekly.-
What a sweet face!
Your setup looks a lot like mine.

Thrifted blankets that match your sensibilities over the main couch, or the dog portions of the couch.
He has his own ikea loveseat as his bed. I tuck in a blanket around the seat cover and swap it out when it smells like dog.
We have a significant number of dog blankets here.

I cannot imagine forbidding my animals from using the furniture, tbh. So yes, my dog is allowed on the sofa and bed. Generally the dog stays on a blanket on the sofa to contain the majority of fur. Otherwise, sticky rollers and vacuums.

Bought a couch cover on Amazon which I draped over the couch. Both cover and couch are gray but not matching gray
-
He was actually not allowed on the furniture but he explored gray areas :D
-
I bought a king sized blanket that I liked and I cover it with that. I wouldn’t care if the sofa fabric was removable but it’s attached on this one. My boys are mud magnets.

I can't keep it clean because unfortunately I am allowed on the sofa.

Yes, dog is allowed and yes washable couch cover.
-
Yes I had let my previous 2 dogs on my sofa and also let my current one on there.
I have a leather couch and sometimes I will put twin sized fitted sheets over sections of the cushions and then change those out periodically.
I used to have a standard fabric couch and it was a gross nightmare with pets. I highly recommend getting a leather sofa if you don’t already have one if you’re gonna go down this path. I know that’s prob not possible for many but that was a HUGE game changer for me and I will never go back to a fabric couch as a pet owner.

Dog is not permitted on sofa.

Yes, both our dogs are allowed on the sofa. We put down blankets if they're wet/muddy after the park. Otherwise we just Chom chom it every so often and use a Green machine for stains.
For reference we have one border collie pit mix with a single smooth coat, and one heeler border collie mix with a rough double coat.
The heeler mix is our big shedder and the biggest reason we bought a Roomba.

She’s allowed on the furniture and bed, but I do keep my spot on the couch covered with pillows if I’m not using is.
Because I need one couch cushion that isn’t covered in hair.

Yes, have several sets of washable covers
