Find what you want in popular materials such as chenille, faux suede and denim. A tailored silk or jacquard slipcover is more than just a functional alternative to expensive new couch sets.
Designer slipcovers include plaid, floral and geometric designs in different textures and colors. 100% cotton, flannel and linen are well-constructed choices, and velvet adds that special touch.
Different shapes and sizes of slip covers can be ordered to fit recliners, loveseats and sectionals as well as standard size sofas. Some furniture pieces have unique measurements that require customized details.
Other furniture that can be covered include futons, chaise lounges and ottomans. Recover a favorite armchair or buy patterned tapestry cushions for a wicker sofa. Parsons and wing back chairs can also be slipcovered to hide worn upholstery.
For a big event like Thanksgiving, Christmas or another holiday event, you can cover dining room chairs for that extra special touch. If there is a a particularly large get together such as a family reunion, bar mitzvah or wedding, folding chairs and their slipcovers can even be rented.
Slipcovers for couches and sofas can be sewn in a one piece design. Another possible option is a form fitting stretch slipcover that clings to furniture contours for a close, tight fit. Some designs come with decorative ties that hold the cover from moving. A semi-fitted, loosely constructed slip cover with elasticized or straight skirt is yet another choice.
Slipcovers may be paired with pillows, throws and window treatments for a room that is fully coordinated. Sometimes the pillows or curtain panels come ready made, sometimes you can find extra fabric to sew them yourself.
Order prewashed, preshrunk material that is stain resistant and machine washable. Stain repellent technology will keep couch slipcovers looking great after many washings.
Another option for slipcovering old furniture is a convenient throw or afghan. These throws or blankets are not form fitting and will need to be readjusted quite often if they are used to cover the whole couch or chair.
If used as an accent, a furniture throw blanket can add the soft warmth of sheepskin or some bright color. For sports enthusiasts there are basketball or football team logos. Golf, horses and southwestern patterns are other well liked themes.
