Slipcover has long been an option for covering sofas, but this old standby is now finding its way into more homes than ever before. The reason is simple: as the recession makes households all over the country more scarce, more and more families find that a room with a protective cover can be updated faster and more easily at a fraction of the price. Custom-fit seat covers are cheaper than re-upholstering your existing parts or buying a new sofa. They can be easily adapted to your home decor.

Re-upholstery Versus A Slipcover

In the past, the choice for a tired old sofa was a complete renovation with upholstery. The process was time-consuming, costly and often required the customer to deal with the demands of the owner of the upholstery business. Many such stores restricted the choice for the customers, especially if they were connected to a fabric store. In this case, it was customary that the upholstery fabric had to be bought in the corresponding store, otherwise the upholstery supplier would not use it.

Although some of these limitations have eased in today's upholstery businesses, covers seem to dominate. Perfectly fitting covers are placed in a few moments over the furniture to reduce the time required for the upholstery. In order to buy a new item, the owner has to submit the order a few weeks in advance. By comparison, many decorators appreciate the speed and efficiency of a slipcover.

In addition, covers are much cheaper. They represent a fraction of the price charged for typical upholstery and the price does not vary depending on the intracyclical of the order. Since the upholstery requires the craftsman to tailor his design to the shape of the part, it is much more demanding than a simply fitted slipcover.

Matching seat covers or new furniture?

In the old economy, it was not unusual to simply replace a sofa if it did not fit a new design or theme that was integrated into a home. In the new, budget-conscious era, designers are looking for ways to replace expensive pieces like sofas and chairs. It can cost thousands to have a really excellent sofa. The sofa has a lifespan of years. So there is no reason to replace it if it is still functional. With a slipcover, you can breathe new life into any piece of furniture.

With suitable material, each cover can give a new look to an outdated sofa. Recession-savvy decorators are using it more than ever before and are inventing creative new ways to use things like custom covers in decoration schemes. Best of all, they are able to do this at a lower cost, with better outcomes and additional protection for years to come. The use of a cover extends the life of furniture and makes it a smart investment decision.

Better selection, better decor

Many designers also like to use a slipcover to express the full range of their creative creativity. When buying a sofa in a shop, it is often difficult to find the ideal color or pattern in combination with the desired frame and structure. Designers are often forced to choose between a perfect couch with the wrong color or an excellent color and design style.

Precise slip covers make such dilemmas largely irrelevant. With a cover it is possible to change the color at will, without the greatest effort for re-upholstery arises. Covers provide additional protection for new and old sofas. In particular, if a durable fabric is selected, the wear of the couch itself is stopped by the protective cover. Instead of replacing or restocking the fabric, maintenance is as easy as replacing the fabric.

Of course, there may be circumstances in which a new upholstery or the purchase of new furniture is justified. In most cases, however, the use of a protective cover is an inexpensive and very simple way to achieve the same appearance without much effort. The only difficulty with mounted coatings is the wrong measurement. Make sure all measurements are completely correct before sending anything to the company. There is no question that a company reimburses the costs only on the basis of customer measurement errors, and it is also illegal for a wrongly sized reference to fit the sofa. The company should provide measurement guidelines that should be followed exactly. If you have questions, designers can contact the company at any time. They are happy to provide explanations and guidance to get the best fit for the covers.
