A photo would help!
The only thing I can think of is reupholstering if slipcovers don't fit. I have never done it myself but a word of caution if you have somone else do it.. We had an antique chair done and didn't specify overstuffed and soft and although it's lovely to look at its like sitting on a brick. Good luck!!
Photo!
Would you consider using it outdoors instead? Like this Hometalker? https//www.hometalk.com/diy/living-room/furniture/upcycle-indoor-love-seat-to-outdoor-couch-1640828

Paint it with chalk paint.
I'm right in the middle of chalk painting my loveseat. Clueless as to how this project will progress. I will post pics after i'm sure I wont totally kill it...I am going to try to coordinate it with this chair I just finished. SK on Elderberry

Paint the chair with fabric paint.
Comfy and old? First clean it. Then "Throws, tons of nice throws". Change colors with seasons. Think gyspy. Relax , it obviouly is not for formal entertaining. Make it even more 'comfy
You can have a professional sew a slip cover. I don't know what type of fabric it is, but you can paint it. Personally, I'd use fabric paint, and sand between layers. Have fun! :)
it is not hard to make a slip cover.....instructions came from a pattern company. you can also take a sheet/ light blanket tuck and fold to fit the the back, seat. if from sheet set the 2 pillow cases go on the arms. use screw type pins to keep it in place.
