All About Slipcovers
What is a slipcover?
Think of a slipcover as an outfit for your sofa, loveseat or chair. A slipcover is a fitted, removable cover for a piece of upholstered furniture. Slipcovers are often misunderstood, getting a bad rap from those who remember the unattractive sheet-like slipcovers on their grandmother's couches. Let's dispel this myth!
Slipcovers are fashionably hip
The slipcover look is very popular in furniture today. Open a copy of your favorite home decorating magazine and see for yourself! Ready-made slipcovers are now available in all the latest fashion fabrics, styles, and colors.
Slipcovers are practical
Have you noticed how expensive it is to have your loveseat professionally cleaned? Well, stop kicking yourself for buying those elegant white sofas before you had children (or before you had friends who brought children to your home), and buy some slipcovers! Slipcovers can easily be taken off and machine-washed.
Slipcovers offer decorating on a budget
Have you priced new sofas lately? Gotten an estimate to have your parents' old, yet comfortable sofa reupholstered in a fabric that you like? Why not just buy a slipcover! With the many textures, colors and styles available, there is certainly a slipcover to fit your decorating taste. And...if orange and lime plaid comes back in style, you'll have that look under your slipcover!
Slipcovers are great for the fickle
If you change your home with the seasons, try a cheery floral slipcover for spring and switch to a rich, deep velvet one for fall. Or, if you aren't quite that radical, choose a neutral slipcover. Add a personal touch with a variety of decorative pillows and throws.
Slipcovers offer instant gratification
Are the in-laws visiting for the first time? Cooking dinner next weekend for a gorgeous guy? Don't wait weeks for a new sofa or custom-made slipcover. Choose a tasteful slipcover and transform your living or family room in no time!
Although slipcovers have been in existence since the Middle Ages, modern ready-made slipcovers are anything but old-fashioned. Both practical and fashionable, slipcovers are sure to make your hectic life easier and your home more inviting.
