Slipcovers Give New Life to Old Furniture

2343

One of the best inventions in home décor and interior design is the slipcover. When budget is an issue and replacing the sofa is not an option, covering with a new fabric slipcover is an excellent option. Most slipcovers are washable so they are kid and pet friendly. In any department store or specialty retailer (like Surefit.com), there is a wide range of covers ranging from loose throws to custom fitted. The more custom the fit, the more tailored the piece of furniture will look as will the overall room design. For Ikea sofas, new covers can be purchased on their website and also by a custom cover company called Bemz that makes FAB covers for all Ikea sofas and chairs.

Budget buster tip: If the retail price of fitted slipcovers are too expensive, check out sites like Craigslist, UsedVictoria.com and eBay for bargains.
