New Paint Job? New…Furniture?

November 15th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

That paint job was a great idea. It really brings a new freshness to your place. The light! The atmosphere! It is stunning and it is always a great feeling to be in control of your environment in the march forward through time and life.

But that couch. Oh, that couch. And the recliner. My god.

Neither match the new paint. They both mar your decision to update your home and your life. The process cannot be complete until the errant furniture too joins your ranks. What to do? Frankly, you probably spent a lot of money on that paint, not to mention a lot of time. Are you about to buy a new couch and recliner, shelling out hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, or are you going to slog around town striking out for mystery deals, a wild goose chase if ever there was one?  Are you?

No, you are going to get slipcovers. This is the sane choice. The practical and economical choice. Why?

Slipcovers cost a fraction of what it would to buy a new couch. They can be matched to any decor with ease. They fit right over your existing furniture and can be custom designed to any specifications. Slipcovers can be removed and washed. Best of all? Next time you completely reshuffle your interior design aesthetic, you can just swap out that slipcover for another one, in mere seconds.

Three Cheers for the Zipper

November 12th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Not all furniture is the same. In fact, some furniture is down right peculiar. These peculiarities are nothing to scoff at, though. Rather, irregularities and deviations from the norm in furniture are a mark of character, individuality, and style. A commitment to personalized lifestyle via special furniture choices presents a particular problem, though: companies do not always have your furniture in mind when they make accessories and complementary pieces.

For example, when it comes to furniture slipcovers, these handy items are typically designed with a standard model of furniture in mind. For example, recliners and beds often come in a relatively slim variety of sizes and shapes. So, if you have opted to get something a little more nuanced design to  match your personality, then you might be at risk of not being able to find a fitting slipcover. What are you to do?

This where custom slipcovers are so valuable. Specifically, zippered construction can really knock the customization out of the park. That is, you can send in the specifications of your furniture, and have made for you a slipcover that not only matches your unique furniture perfectly, but also wraps snugly around it thanks to specially designed zipper tracks. So many companies will try to pass of elastics as custom fitting, but there is nothing customized about a fabric designed to fit a large array of shapes and sizes because of the elasticity  The zippered technology is made for your identity and yours alone.

Ready Made Pillows

November 1st, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Obviously, getting slipcovers is a great idea.  Why? Slipcovers are very affordable. They make decorating your home extremely easy. They can change with the seasons, swapped out to match the world around us. They are pet friendly. They can be washed in a jiffy. They add flare and character to otherwise drab environments. But if you buy a slipcover, where will you find matching accessories?

Think about it: you have gorgeous slipcovers for your recliner, love seat and futon, but where are the throw pillows? Are you seriously going to toss on the pillows that don’t match? This practically defeats the entire purpose of having a furniture cover. The room no longer looks elegantly designed but instead like a patchwork quilt of desperation. What can be done?

Ready made pillows are a great fix. How does it work? Simply order a pillow in the same fabric as the one you picked for your slipcovers, and you will have matching accessories at an affordable price. Of course, if you desire strangely shaped cushions to match as well, you can also get custom slipcovers for your elaborately shaped cushions and furniture. Do not fret because you think something is impossible. With slipcovers, pretty much anything can happen.

Do You Have Strange Cushions?

October 25th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

The benefits of slipcovers are well known and easy to surmise: they make furniture look fantastic and new, they are affordable, they are easy to clean, they can change the look of a room, and they can make matching furniture to a design scheme that much easier. But not all furniture and cushions are made the same.

In fact, f you are like millions of other consumers out there, you just might have a common ailment called Strange Cushions.

How do you know if you have Strange Cushions? Perhaps you had a cushion specially made for you at a boutique or craft fair. Perhaps you inherited some oblong and puffy item from an old aunt. Perhaps you ordered a wacky design online from a specialty or novelty store. Either way, when you look at your cushion, if it has a shape that just does not compute with how you think a slipcover might work, then you probably have Strange Cushions. Poor you, who will never have the benefits of slipcovers.

But no! Do not worry! Strange Cushions is not actually an ailment, but an asset! That is correct. It is a characteristic to be celebrated and revered. Not only that, but with custom slipcovers, you can enjoy all the perks of regular cushion covers without having to abandon what makes your furniture unique.

Slipcovers and Pets

October 17th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Having pets is a blessing. They provide fun, companionship and love. They engender responsibility and are rewarding to see grow. A dog or cat or other pet can change a home entirely.

Of course, it goes without saying that they are a lot of work. Medical expenses, food, and cleaning are all things to take into consideration. Specifically for pets like cats and dogs, hair can be a real issue. Depending on the type of furniture that you have, animal hair presents a distinct problem. There are ways to avoid being frustrated, though.

Furniture slipcovers are at the top of the list. Not only do these furniture covers add aesthetic value to your furniture, from recliners to chairs to couches to papasans, but they are also very easy to clean.

Consider the following scenario. Your heavily shedding dog has covered your couch in hair. What will you do? Spend hours vacuuming it, and refrain from using the expensive item in the meantime? That sounds terrible.

Now consider the alternative. Your pet sheds on your gorgeous furniture slipcovers. You remove it, place it in the wash. It’s ready as quickly as it takes to do laundry. In the mean time, rest comfortably on your clean furniture. You can even put a second slipcover on there. Furniture slipcovers are affordable, so having a few to change things up for different seasons and occasions is not out of the ordinary.

If you are a pet owner dealing with shedding, it is high time you consider the benefits of furniture slipcovers.

The Feel of Suede But Not The Cost

October 11th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Suede feels wonderful. It’s soft and cool to the touch. Yet, it is also exorbitantly expensive. Not only that, ongoing care and maintenance present real obstacles. The fabric is delicate. The circle is completed when you look at the price for repairs: expensive. How can you get that great and comfortable feeling so endemic to suede without incurring the cost and taking on the arduous responsibility of its care?

The memory stretch form fitting fabric we use for recliner slipcovers is exactly what you need. Constructed with a combination of polyester and spandex, this fabric is not only very affordable, but it is also extremely easy to clean and care for. The shape is flexible, designed to fit over a variety of furniture shapes and to settle into the contours naturally (that’s the “memory” part of memory stretch!). And guest what else? This material is pet friendly.

Not only that, recliner covers are made with the most popular brands in mind. So your boring and tarnished chair can look just like new and feel more comfortable at the same time.  They are even customized with extra features like a pocket for your remote control. It’s all about leisure and relaxation when you lean into your recliner, and these custom slipcovers keep that idea in mind while going easy on your pocket and eyes.

Deciding Between Ready-made and Custom Slipcovers

September 25th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Ready-made and custom slipcovers both have their uses. But how will you know which one is right for you? All of this depends on the type of furniture you have. Let’s take a look at the two different classes of slipcovers and consider how they might fit with your furniture.

Ready-made slipcovers are those designed with standard furniture and cushioning dimensions in mind. They cover a window of common shapes and sizes. A lot of furniture follows certain customs with regard to how long or tall a particular piece should be. An unintended bonus of this uniformity is that many anselary products like slipcovers can be purchased with the reasonable assumption that they will fit many types of furniture.

Custom slipcovers are those made for specific pieces of furniture rather than a group. That is, you give the specified dimensions to the designer and cloth is cut to meet your specifications. This is an individualized and personalized product dependent on the variability of tastes and nuanced craftsmanship. Custom slipcovers are perfect for unique and oddly shaped pieces.

The fact of the matter is, you probably have both types of furniture at your home. Your sofa might be a standard size, whereas your papasan chair could be unique in size. Consider your furniture and your options before making any purchases.

Custom Slipcovers for Different Daybeds

September 19th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Daybeds are great. They live somewhere between a couch and a bed. They are perfect for reading in the afternoon, watching TV in the evening, housing guests and every manner of lounging about. Of course, like any other item or piece of furniture in your home, dressing it up to match your home decor and personal tastes is a must. Not every daybed comes equipped with the most fashionable look and many models can be, quite frankly, bland or even offensively upholstered. That’s why furniture slipcovers are so wonderful. You can pick the fabric pattern that best suits your needs, slip it on, and have a newly fashioned piece of gorgeous furniture that not only matches but complements your home in no time.

Yet, you may have noticed, especially if you are a daybed connoisseur, that not all daybeds are the same. They can be wider or taller than each other. They can have numerous shapes. They can be higher or lower to the ground. How can you get any old slipcover and expect it to work in all of these situations? The fact of the matter is that you can’t. That’s why custom slipcovers are pivotal. They are made to fit the exact measurements of your furniture, providing all the attendant benefits of slipcovers without missing a beat.

So, don’t worry. Your daybed is going to look good. Get a slipcover.

Papasans And Bean Bags

September 11th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

There’s nothing like collapsing into a papasan chair. The curved structure embraces you and envelops you in the special rounded cushion. Likewise, a bean bag offers a singular experience. Mold it into a shape perfect for sitting or napping, as a back cushion or pillow. As useful as both of these items can be, they can get dirty fast, precisely because they are so satisfying to use. Naturally, with use comes wear and tear. As well, the function of these items often trumps their style, leaving these wonderfully comfortable objects to languish as eye soars when not in use.

Luckily, there’s a solution to these problems. A papasan cushion does not have to remain bland and boring. A bean bag chair does not have to go on wallowing in its own filth. Instead, the purchase and use of a customized and zippered oval cushion slipcovers will suffice to wrap any variety of papasan or bean bag shape. These slipcovers will greatly improve the cleanliness of the cushion, as they are removable and can be washed like any other article of clothing. As well, slipcovers greatly improve the aesthetic value of your cushion, ensuring that you can match your bean bag chair or papasan cushion to any decor, no matter how many times you adjust your style. There’s a cushion for every scenery.
