subject: The Benefits Of Using Slipcovers For Sofas [print this page] You buy furniture for your home and you have it for years. But as the years change, so do you and the only thing that stays the same is the stuff you picked to place in the rooms. Unless you take the extra time to update things as your tastes change you are going to find yourself growing distant from it and bored.
It doesn't mean that because you think floral patterns were so last year that you should have to trash that super comfortable sleeper sofa that you wore in and now could snuggle up on with ease. What you do in a case like this is find a good fitting slipcover. These nifty furniture accessories cover up that old, boring pattern with something new and exciting. And they come with a whole set of benefits besides updating your home dcor.
First thing's first, they are super easy to wash. They not only act as a cool new look, they're ideal for people with children and pets. Stains can be washed out immediately. All you need to do is take them off the cushions and throw them in the washer and then dryer on the proper settings. Instead of scrubbing for what seems like an eternity with a wool and fabric cleaner that reeks of ammonia. It also means that when you have guests your furniture will always be spotless masterpieces worthy of compliment.
Not only that but let's say you really love the style of different pieces of furniture but they're not uniform. You can unify the room using the same cushion covers for different pieces throughout the room. It's an official goodbye to mismatching furniture. You can even go so far as to find complement curtains and carpets because when you buy slipcovers, you are open to a much wider spectrum of designs than the original manufacturers present.
So, why bother with something as expensive and stressful as reupholstering? Half of the time the stains or scratches you get on furniture are minor. And sometimes they're permanent. But does that mean you should have to ship off your furniture to get it repaired? Then have to worry about trekking it all the way back in once the job is done? It could cost you a small fortune for such an easily fixable concern. With furniture slipcovers you cover up those little embarrassing flaws and save yourself money.
