Slipcovers are an economical, quick way to fix up any living room. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a new piece of furniture but want to transform your living room, slipcovers are the answer. Reupholstering, the alternative to purchasing a slipcover, can sometimes be as costly as buying a new piece of furniture and can take up to 8-10 weeks to complete. Ready made slipcovers tend to be the quickest and most cost effective way to update your furniture. Most slipcovers are machine washable -the perfect solution for furniture that is used by pets and kids. And depending on the fabric, they are much more durable than the upholstery of your existing couch. Fabric durability is often a concern when purchasing slipcovers. For a high-traffic area or houses with pets and kids, a material a sturdy fabric such as denim or polyester may be the right choice. You can also consider wools and heavy cottons that will hold up well.

Measuring the furniture you are purchasing a slipcover for is a very important. Purchasing a slipcover which is too small or large will make your furniture look awkward, so follow these guidelines to get the correct measurements. With a measuring tape, measure your furniture from arm to arm to get the width. Measurements are included in all descriptions for slipcovers as a minimum/maximum width length. Be sure the slipcover you are purchasing falls into these numbers! Furniture will generally fall in these measurement categories:

Chair: 32" - 43" long
Oversized Chair: 48" - 55" long
Loveseat: 58" - 73" long
Sofa: 74" - 96" long

There are 4 different kinds of cushion styles for couches/loveseats which are most generally categorized by the construction of the back cushion. It is important to take into consideration how your furniture is styled because it will play a key role in how your ready-made slipcover fits. Just as a beautiful slipcover can transform a room, a poorly fitting slipcover can detract from your home's décor.

Tight back and attached back furniture tend to work best with slipcovers because they require the least tucking and fit the furniture well. Loose back and scatter back furniture have pillows that detach from the furniture itself, so finding a good fit for these can be more challenging, but can be done. For loose back and scatter back it may be wise to consider buying a custom made slipcover, which can provide the most precise coverage. Quilt batting can also be place in the crevices to minimize the appearance of wrinkles or creases.

It is important to keep in mind that colors evoke emotions and set the tone of an entire room. When choosing the color scheme for your furniture, be sure to think about complementing colors and matching the existing decor. All slipcovers are subject to wear-and-tear. Sunlight and humidity can affect the quality of your slipcover. We recommend noting care instructions of your slipcover to ensure that the quality and look does not change. Most are machine washable.

• To minimize valleys and crevices in your sofa, place quilt batting across the cracks of the cushions and along the back. This will create an even surface and the slipcover will fit much better.
• A neatly tucked slipcover is a pretty slipcover! Use a spatula or wooden spoon to tuck in the slipcover with precision.
• If your slipcover is wrinkly, throw it in the dryer for a few minutes with a damp towel.
• Once you have applied the slipcover to your piece of furniture, place a few tightly rolled magazines in the cracks of the couch to act as anchors. These will help to minimize straightening of the slipcover.
