What are the different types of chair slipcovers?
There are two basic types of chair slipcover: furniture covers and upholstery covers. In both types, the material used to make the cover will have a special name - such as leather or fabric - that you can identify it on your own.
Furniture covers are typically thicker than upholstery covers, but they're more expensive. They also have a longer lifespan, so they're a good choice if you're looking for years of protection from wear and tear.
Upholstery covers are made from fabric or down-filled cotton - these come in a variety of patterns and textures that can help make them more unique than a regular furniture cover. They might be lighter in texture than an upholstery cover, so they might be easier to spot when you're shopping for new furniture.
What is the best fabric to use for slipcovers?
The best fabric to use for slipcovers is cotton duck, denim or twill blends. They are very durable and can be easily washed at home.
Cotton duck is a great fabric for slipcovers as it is lightweight, breathable and has a wash-and-wear appeal. It can be used in a range of colours, from white to dark grey and black. Denim and twill blends are also great for slipcovers as they are lightweight but have an airy feel to them.
If you want your SlipCovers to last you longer than the life span of your jeans then you need to invest in the right fabrics!
How do I know what slipcover fits?
The best way to know what slipcover fits your furniture is to try it on. Try on different styles and see which fit best. If you can find a pair that fits both of your pieces perfectly, that's a plus!
If you're unsure what style of slipcover to buy, there are plenty of online shops where you can order one online or at a store. You can also shop in stores for help with the fit.
Can you slipcover a wooden chair?
No, I can't slipcover a wooden chair.
I use a plastic chair cover to cover my wooden chair. It's not as secure as a full-length seat, but it's much easier on the hands and less likely to slip off during transportation. The best part is that it is very light weight and easy to move around the house!
