Slipcovers Versus Reupholstery Costs

One of the many benefits you get from using slipcovers on your home furniture is in saving money. For anyone on a budget, this can make a world of difference. Here's a look at how these costs compare to getting your couch or chairs reupholstered instead.

Reupholstery

There is no doubt that reupholstering that worn or torn chair can give it a fresh new look and keep it going for years to come. Many years ago my grandmother had one of her chairs done and it looked tremendous.

What I found though, was that there are two major issues in reupholstering. The first is that you will be without the piece of furniture for at least 1-2 months while it is being worked on. That may be fine for some, but for families who need the furniture every day, it can be real issue. Can you make do while the piece is out of the house?

The other issue is costs. A good reupholstery job on your couch could easily go to $1500 or even more in some cases. Can your budget handle that?

Slipcovers

The benefits of purchasing slipcovers for your furniture are numerous. But, compared with the two issues above, you will not be out your piece of furniture for even five minutes. You simply slip the cover over your furniture and you are finished. It is really that quick and simple.

The other advantage is cost. A ready made cover can be found for $30 - $150. That is far less than what the costs will be to have the piece reupholstered.

Even going with a unique, custom made slipcover, the costs will be less than $250 in almost every case. It only depends on the type of material you select.

This is only a couple of the bigger reasons why I prefer to use furniture covers. Unless you have a very high budget, I feel it makes good sense to go this route. And if you compare it to the cost of buying new furniture, well you can save even more.
