Fitting a slipcover over a tired looking sofa or chair is a quick and easy way to give it an instant new image. Slipcovers also come in handy if you want to protect good quality upholstery from wear and tear, and are particularly useful if you've got messy kids or pets. Changing your chair and sofa slipcovers can give your whole room a fresh new look in minutes, and slipcovers can be used to coordinate mis-matched seats or blend in your furniture with your d'cor if you've moved or have recently decorated.
Ready made slipcovers are designed to be really easy to fit, and are held in place with elastic or zippers, for a smooth and snug-fitting finish. A well fitted slipcover can have a smart, tailored appearance, helping your furniture to look as good as new. When choosing a new slipcover, choose one made from a good quality, durable fabric that can stand up to lots of use. Quality furniture covers are made to last, and shouldn't fade or shrink if washed in the machine. Popular materials that are both soft to the touch, attractive to look at, and hardwearing include twill, stretch denim and chenille.
Slipcovers come in all shapes and sizes, and it's possible to cover almost any kind of seat in your living room with a slipcover, from sectional sofas to wing chairs to recliners and ottomans. Inexpensive dining chair covers can also be purchased, enabling you to dress your chairs up or down according to the occasion. As well as coming in a choice of fabrics and colors, slipcovers also come in a variety of patterns to compliment any style of d'cor. Popular choices range from classic floral prints to checks to stripes and plaid. Whatever your personal taste and the theme of your room, you're sure to find a slipcover that fits perfectly! |
