Giving your room that elegant look can be quite challenging, especially if you have the time and interior designing skills to perform the necessary changes on your decorations and furniture pieces. Did you know by simply putting slipcovers on your sofa could create a major transformation on your room’s overall appearance?
If you don’t have excellent sewing skills or creativity to make perfect slipcovers, why not shop around for great bargains. There are many shops that sell slipcovers. All you need is find the right style and color to match your room’s design or theme.
In the event you are in hurry to find ideas on how to select appropriate slipcovers, here are some buying guidelines that you can apply as you shop from one store to another. I do hope you find great slipcover ideas by the time you finish reading this topic.
Slipcovers dome in various sizes and it is vital before you head on a retail store selling slipcovers that you have already the correct measurements of your sofa, couch or chair. Remember, not all sofas are alike because some may differ in structure built while others in design. For your information a love seat can be quite small if you will compare its size to a family sofa. When you are measuring your sofa, couch or chair, don’t forget to measure the distance from the floor to the bottom because some slipcovers have pleated skirts or ruffles at the bottom.
There are many slipcovers being sold in the market. Your main goal if you are looking for a perfect slipcover is determine a style that will blend with the rest of your room’s interior, wall paint or wallpaper cover. Ask yourself, “What do you want to achieve from purchasing this particular slipcover, a classy or casual look?” Many homeowners prefer the traditional style slipcovers because they fit well on any sofa or chair with rounded arms. If you have a customized sofa where it doesn’t fit with any slipcover being sold in the market, better ask a furniture upholstery specialist about the ideal style for your slipcover.
- Choose the best fabric material
Another factor that will ensure a lasting slipcover is the fabric material used. If you want to save more, choose a slipcover made from top quality fabric material. For example, if your family sofa experiences a lot of traffic, then, heavy cotton, canvas or twill fabric could be an excellent choice. If you aren’t good in fabrics, consult your furniture upholsterer or let him/her customize a suitable slipcover. Keep in mind, there are other aspects that will affect your decision on what fabric to purchase such budget, style preference and lastly comfort.
Additional buying tips and warnings:
Slipcovers are the most economical way to preserve the good condition of a well-loved family sofa, love seat or bedroom chair. They provide a distinct look to one’s room when mixed together with other furniture pieces.
If you want to invest on top quality slipcovers, have them custom-made from a reputable upholstery service provider. I’m sure getting their professional advice will keep you
