Keep in mind that most fabric paint is transparent and can only add to the existing color, rather than cover it up; it you want to cover up a darker color, you must look hard to find opaque paint. Study carefully the claims on how much the paint affects the "hand" of the fabric; some change the feel of the fabric only slightly, while others, such as ordinary artists' acrylics, are too harsh to be desirable. For more information on fabric paints, see About Fabric Paints.
For truly professional results, the fabric really ought to be removed from the furniture before applying color to it, but careful use of fabric paint may make it possible to change upholstery in situ.
