With the arrival of new fabrics, old slipcovers (those ones our grandparents used on their home, that were usually both ugly and uncomfortable) are evolving, improving both the ease to integrate them to your existing d'cor, add touches of fun to your rooms and protecting, at the same time, your furniture from kids (yeah, they are not so lovely when they spill milk all over your favorite armchair) and also from animals (take my advice: slipcovers are my sofa's last line of defense when my cat attacks, hehe).

It is also remarkable the way that they can be cleaned, much easier than old fabrics.

Being so affordable, you can have two (or even more) different sets of slipcovers, and change them to change the aspect of your chairs, loveseats or sofas accordingly to season, or in special occasions. For instance, imagine these situations:

Big game tonight? You invite all your friends to watch the game and they are surprised to see all the furniture colored to match your favorite team.

Dining with someone special? A nice dinner, a couple of candles, a nice wine, that romantic pale blue set of slipcovers and, boom!, perfect night.

Your puppy keeps jumping onto your seat? Well, take out the everyday slipcover set and allow doggie to sleep freely on the couch without worrying about your furniture.

And those situations are just a few examples on how slipcovers can help you create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. The d'cor possibilities are even greater if you switch carpets from one room to another or change the color of the lights.

Slipcovers truly are the best way to have new seats without having to reupholster your existing furniture or buying new one.
