Find creative solutions for old and worn furniture from a selection of quality slip covers. Both custom made and ready made furniture slipcovers are available by shopping over the internet. There are actually hundreds variations in type of fit, overall design and style of fabric.
Find what you want in popular materials such as faux suede, denim and chenille. A tailored jacquard slipcover is more than a functional alternative to expensive new furniture.
Designer slipcovers include floral, geometric and plaid designs in different weaves, colors and textures. 100% cotton, linen and flannel are rugged choices, and velvet adds that touch of class.
Different shapes and sizes of slipcovers can be ordered to fit recliners, loveseats and sectional couches as well as standard size sofas and couches. Some furniture pieces have unusual requirements that require custom details.
Other furniture that can be covered include chaise lounges, futons and ottomans. Recover an old armchair or buy patterned tapestry cushions for a wicker couch. Wingback chairs and parsons chairs can also be slipcovered to hide worn upholstery.
For a big event like Christmas, thanksgiving or another holiday, you can cover your dining room chairs for that extra special touch. If there is a a large get together such as a family reunion or wedding, folding chairs and their slipcovers can be found at rental places.
Slipcovers for sofas and couches can be sewn in a single, one piece design. Another alternative is a form fitting stretch slip cover that clings to furniture contours for a tight, close fit. Some designs come with decorative ties that keep the cover from bunching. A semi-fitted, loosely constructed slip cover with a straight skirt is yet another choice.
Slipcovers may be matched with pillows and throws for a room that is fully coordinated. Sometimes the pillows or curtains come ready made, sometimes you can purchase extra fabric to sew them yourself.
Order preshrunk, prewashed material that is machine washable and easy care. Stain repellent technology will keep couch slipcovers looking terrific after many washings.
Another option for covering older furniture is a convenient afghan or throw. These throws or blankets are not form fitting and will need to be readjusted quite regularly if they are used to cover the whole chair or sofa.
If used as an accent, a furniture throw blanket can add a splash of bright color or the softness of sheepskin. For sports enthusiasts there are football or hockey team logos. Horses, southwestern patterns and golf are other favorite themes.
