Slipcovers - Ideas & Resources"Create a fresh new look with beautiful, Slipcovers can be a cost effective and attractive way to create a fresh home decor. Some years ago, the choices for purchasing them for your furniture were quite limited and in the 'attractive department', not so much. But we've come a long way from those days!
How do you plan to use covers? For example, if you are going to cover up some used furniture at the cottage or beach house, your goal might be to find the most durable and cost effective product, that is also washable. Or, you might be thinking about have custom covers made for your living room furniture, and you have some specific styles and colors in mind. That is a very different type of search than the first example! And there are situations in-between those examples, of course. But whatever your particular reason for considering slip covers, just make sure that you define it enough to shop intelligently.
Slipcovers are made in a variety of fabrics, from cotton to canvas, polyester to denim, and almost every other fabric available, and can be made to fit snugly around your piece of furniture, or draped loosely and casually. You can find covers for many different styles of sofas, chairs, ottomans, dining chairs, folding chairs, loveseats, duvets. etc. Some are constructed in one piece and others have two or more pieces. In addition, some are constructed with skirts and some are not. Your budget is the third decision to make, based on the previous two considerations. As you would expect, custom covers are going to be in a different price range than ready made; the more custom the treatment, the higher the price. Although you will still save considerably over purchasing brand new furniture, make sure your budget fits your desire.
