Stylish slipcovers are
perhaps the most versatile tools of home decoration
that have all sorts of use and do not cost you a
fortune. The slipcovers sewed, embroidered or even
knitted or crocheted by our grandmas are loved by us
for their sentimental value and the love and
workmanship that went into it but slipcovers today are
much more than that and are important part of home
furnishing.
They add a dramatic touch to our
homes and can become quite a fashion statement, if handled
carefully. With a range of colors and patterns to choose from,
slipcovers look quite attractive and very comfortable too. They
are available in easy-to-care fabrics. Slipcovers are designed in
the most sought after, easy care fabrics to accommodate a wide
range of seating styles. To understand how "you", the
consumer can benefit from the advantages of slipcovers in your
home today, it is necessary to examine the "where",
"what" and "whys" of this very versatile
product.
Slipcovers are not just for sofas! Companies exist today that
produce ready made slipcovers for several forms of popular
seating. Loveseats, club chairs and ottomans, wing chairs,
recliners and dining chairs all can benefit from the addition of a
fashionable slipcover. Rather than spending a substantial
financial investment for new seating, reupholstering or custom
slipcovers; ready made slipcovers offer consumers an affordable
solution for a quick and stylish furnishing cover up.
Consider a fashionable slipcover for any number of reasons. Ideal
for growing families with young children and pets, slipcovers
protect favored furnishings from soiling and everyday wear and
tear. With an increasing number of families owning vacation homes,
slipcovers offer the option of shopping consignment stores, flea
markets and yard sales with the assurance that it is possible to
slipcover second hand furnishings and coordinate with existing décor,
regardless of established fabrics, patterns and colors. A rainbow
of today's most preferred colors makes seasonal decorating
throughout your home a snap with slipcovers!
Spring 2001 sports an abundance of subdued and muted neutrals such
as soft khakis, faint terracotta's, and pale taupes. Crisp whites
with navy trim can offer the essence of a nautical theme for the
coastal home as well as the upcoming Summer months.
Or, contribute to a particular style of décor such as
Southwestern, Country, Traditional, Shabby Chic, or Victorian with
appropriate slipcover fabrications and design motifs. Slipcovers
featuring lush fuchsia and pink hues are wonderfully romantic in a
Victorian styled home. Florals consisting of washed colorations on
pale backgrounds feature a lovely choice for a Shabby Chic styled
space. Look for slipcovers in the most sought after fabrications
such as sturdy denims, soft faux suedes, warm chenilles, and
classic cottons.
Consider incorporating the advantages that slipcovers offer
throughout your home. Do not overlook practical opportunities to
incorporate the durability, comfort and character that slipcovers
provide in unexpected spaces! For instance, explore the
possibility of slipcovering a "hand me down" chair for
your sunroom, formal chairs in the dining room, a set of mis-matched
chairs in the kitchen, a well loved club chair and ottoman in the
family room, a soiled recliner in the basement or a treasured
chaise in the master bedroom suite.
