Extend The Life Of Your Furniture With Replacement Slipcovers

If the idea of replacement slipcovers conjures images of sloppy, draping fabric, hanging over your furniture, you have not shopped for slip covers recently. Modern covers are made of fabrics that stretch and cling, offering a custom fit and a decorative appeal that can extend the life your furniture and add a new focal point for any room in your house.

In the living room, you may have a set that includes a sofa, loveseat, and chair. If your furniture is looking worn or you would simply like to create a new look in this room, you have a few options that will cost far less money than buying new furniture would. You can cover a single piece, like the love seat or the chair with a fabric that contrasts with the upholstery on the rest of the furniture. You may even choose a faux leather or suede cover that can add a sleek, rich look to the room. Another option would be to purchase matching covers for the entire set to create an entire new appealing theme that follows your own decorating ideas.

A very popular piece for the dorm room or a studio or apartment is a futon. This is a great versatile piece that is a sofa by day and a bed by night. A futon slipcover is a great tool for making sure that your futon looks and feels like a sofa, allowing guests to enjoy it comfortably without feeling like they are sitting on your bed. You may choose a soft cotton cover or a polyester/spandex blend for a tighter fit. Wild animal print fabrics can give the room a contemporary flair, or a simple denim cover will work with most classic or traditional decors.

If you have a favorite rocking chair in your child’s bedroom or nursery, it likely harbors fond memories and is a beloved piece. You can extend the life of this chair with the addition of a rocking chair slipcover. Slip covers from manufacturers like Surefit are made to stretch tightly over the chair, mimicking the fit of the original upholstery. You may choose a simple solid color or a pretty striped design; the choice is yours. Quality slip covers can be found through a wide variety of retailers that sell home furnishings.

The dining room in your house, condo, or apartment is a place where furniture easily becomes stained. Spilled food and beverages on upholstered dining room chairs can make a new set look tired and old rather quickly. Dining room chair slip covers will dress up your dining room and protect your chairs at the same time. Often made of durable cotton duck cloth, these covers are available in wide variety of colors and patterns, so you can choose the designer look that best suits your sense of style. This is obviously a far less expensive alternative to having your furniture reupholstered or replaced altogether. In fact, you can save even more money by shopping for retailers that sell slipcovers at cheap discount prices.
