Try stylish slipcovers to makeover a room. They can accomplish miracles on nearly every type of upholstered furniture. Consumers often turn to slipcovers after getting expensive bids on reupholstering, but that’s not the only reason to use them.
They easily hide unattractive upholstery but can also be used to add a dash of color, fresh style, or a seasonal holiday mood to a room.
Today you’ll find them in beautiful washable cottons, comfy denims, luxurious velvets, cozy chenilles, leather looks, and more.
Here are some tips on using slipcovers in your home.
1. Harmonize a roomful of mismatched furniture by slipcovering everything in matching or coordinating covers.
2. Try out a shabby chic look by covering furniture in white slipcovers. If the original upholstery color shows through, try putting a white sheet over the furniture to camouflage the fabric underneath.
3. Add some style and color to plain folding chairs by slipcovering them to match your dining room chairs. You’ll have attractive extra seating for very little expense.
4. Slipcovers instantly makeover “inherited” furniture. If you love your parent’s old sofa — but not the gold Herculon fabric — simply order a new slipcover and enjoy a gorgeous red sofa or any color you desire instead.
5. Even recliners, wing chairs, and ottomans can now be slipcovered in your choice of fabrics. Try some matching pillows too.
6. Secure a slipcover with a tucking tool that inserts a plastic channel deep into the corners to hold fabric from shifting.
7. Decorate your dining room for parties and special occasions with special slipcovers to cover every day wear and tear.
8. Add warmth to rentals, apartments, or temporary quarters with bright colorful slipcovers.
9. Consider your personal style before selecting a slipcover. Ruffled skirts and gathered arms might be your choice, or go for a simpler, contemporary look with straight skirts and tab tie closures.
10.Slipcovers are often made to be “no iron” by stretching them over your furniture while still warm from the dryer.
