Be Daring with Slipcovers

If you are interested in updating the look of a room in your house, but you are also unsure of how to change it, simplify the process by first changing your furniture slipcoversfurniture slipcovers

Updating your slipcovers provides an inexpensive way to experiment with new color schemes and patterns in the room. Doing this may give you an idea of what will and will not work in the space. When you find something that works, you may then incorporate it into other details of the room; color schemes do not have to be blatantly obvious. Instead, they may be subtle details that enhance the overall impact of your space.

Do not be afraid to express a daring sense of style in slipcovers. When you decorate with them, you may choose bold patterns and unique fabrics to fit your current aesthetic preferences; should these tastes change, you may always easily update the slipcovers.

The color scheme should obviously reflect your personal taste, but it should also complement structural elements of the room. For example, certain colors will make a room appear bigger or smaller, so if you have a tiny room, you want to use colors that do the former, not the latter.

Protecting Your Slipcovers

January 23rd, 2012 | Posted by tarae in Furniture | Slipcovers | Stains - (0 Comments)

Although slipcovers are undeniably easier to clean than upholstery, that does not mean that you should not protect them. slipcovers

Spills, stains and even pet hair are hassles to soak out or remove from any fabric, so you may want to protect your furniture slipcovers from these variables. This does not suggest that you need to cover your furniture in plastic and turn your room into a furniture museum. There are other, less austerely tacky solutions you may use to protect your best furniture pieces.

For example, if you have small children and a pet, you may not want to let them sit on certain furniture when there is not an adult present. If you make this a house rule,  then there should always be an adult to supervise and monitor the children and the pet to make sure that both they and the furniture are safe.

If the item of furniture is one that is predominantly used by family, you may cover the seat cushion slipcovers with a pretty throw blanket in order to protect it from muddy feet and paws. Then everyone will be able to enjoy sitting and cuddling on the furniture.

Furniture Slipcovers and Rambunctious Children

January 17th, 2012 | Posted by tarae in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

It is a fact that overly-stimulated children generally like to jump off of furniture. Little boys and girls seems to find this a thrilling way of combating surplus energy. However, while doing this may successfully tire them out, it may also leave footprints and dirt smudges on your best furniture. slipcovers

Arguably, small children should be provided  with some other outlet than leaping off antique armchairs. However, there may be a time that you do not see the damage until after the child has been stopped or left. Then, the only indication of his visit may be dented pillows and foot prints on seat cushions.

There are certain steps you make to prevent this from happening. If a young relative is visiting, make sure that he has plenty of time to run around and play outside. If the weather is inclement, either bundle him up and still take him outside, or, if possible take him to indoor gym or children’s museum. When a child is tired, he is more likely to enjoy some quiet activity such as coloring rather than a more energetic pursuit like using your furniture as a jungle gym. If there is a room that contains heirlooms or antique furniture, make it off limits to him and entertain him elsewhere in the house.

And, make sure that all your furniture is protected by slipcovers, since they will prevent the ruination of your furniture. To buy slipcovers, visit SlipcoverShop.com.

 

Use Slipcovers to Redesign on a Budget

January 10th, 2012 | Posted by tarae in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

Perhaps the best aspect of furniture slipcovers is the versatility it affords a room. New slipcovers instantaneously give your room a makeover; they are the cheapest way to reinvent the look of your room. Slipcovers

Slipcovers allow to incorporate practical heirloom, such as loveseats and armchairs, into modern decor. If you put a newer, more modern slipcover on a piece of antique furniture, do not get rid of the original slipcover if it is in good condition. Instead, store it away and use it for special occasions, such as family gatherings. If it is not in decent condition and you want to preserve the original appearance, you may have a custom slipcover made that resembles the original.

Generally, slipcovers should complement or be complemented by their surroundings. Neutral colors create safe slipcovers, so if you are looking for something bolder, choose a distinctive color or pattern. As your personal tastes evolve, the style aesthetics you appreciate may also change, but slipcovers may transform with you; rather than discard old furniture, you should just give it a brand new look with differently styled slipcovers.

New slipcovers enable you to style a room based on your exact specifications. And, because they are so affordable, you do not have to wait to be more financially solvent to create the space of your dreams.

Slipcovers For New Year’s Eve

December 28th, 2011 | Posted by tarae in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

If you are hosting a New Year’s Eve party, make it appropriately festive! If you are feeling particularly inspired change the slipcover of at least one piece of furniture to update the look of your room for the party. Since you have probably already a thorough cleaning of the room for the holidays, just give it a basic cleaning. Before guests arrive, wash any slipcovers that did not survive the previous holidays unscathed. slipcover

To make the room festive, hang silver streamers, and have 2012 party hats ready for your guests. Keep things simple, so as not to overwhelm or stress yourself. A New Year’s Eve party is not required to be an big blowout. Prepare simple hors d’ouevres such as cheese and crackers, salmon salad, bruschetta, and sweet and sour meatballs. All of these appetizers are relatively easy to make, but if you do not feel like providing all of the food by yourself, make the event a potluck! This way, you feel less pressure and every guest is guaranteed to like at least one item on the menu.  Have a plethora of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages available, or ask your guests to supply their own drinks.

Throwing an informal New Year’s Eve party is a simple affair.

The History of a Loveseat and Its Slipcover

December 21st, 2011 | Posted by tarae in Furniture | Slipcovers - (0 Comments)

My mom recently showed me a family photo that was taken when she was a toddler. In the picture, she, her brother, and their cousins, are sitting on and gathered around a mahogany footed loveseat. I noticed that this item of furniture looked familiar and then I realized the reason; that exact same loveseat is the focal point of the living room in my house. It’s only discernible difference is that it is outfitted in a golden-sunshine colored slipcover, which it has worn for as long as I remember. slipcover

A couple things surprised me about this photo. Firstly I could not fathom that my grandmother permitted four children, the oldest of whom looks to be eight years old, to sit on her uncovered loveseat. I attribute this lax attitude to the fact that it was probably a holiday and everyone is impeccably dressed.  Secondly, I am amazed at how well this loveseat has survived the decades, with children, nieces, nephews, cousins, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a puppy or two, all having sat on it on more than one occasion.

I suppose the loveseat’s endurance may be attributed to the fact that it was generally protected by a slipcover, further safeguarded by an additional decorative sheet when it was necessary to cushion it from dog nails, and always treated with respect.
