Slipcovers are an easy and affordable solution to update furniture. Over time, wear and tear start to show on the fabrics of most chairs and sofas even when the piece is still in good shape overall. Custom slipcovers spruce up any chair, sofa or love seat, but it’s important to pick the right fabric for the look you’re going for and to take into consideration how much use each piece of furniture gets.

Solid Vs. Patterned – How To Choose

Walking in a furniture store, you might be attracted to the bold stripes of a sofa or the all-white linen sofa. But an all-white linen sofa is no match for a toddler with grimy hands. And patterned fabric from florals to plaids, can be in style one season and out the next. Solids are a safe bet when choosing fabric for a new furniture cover.

Going with solids doesn’t mean boring. Choosing bold patterned accessories and fun accent pieces including pillows and throws allows you to accessorize with current trends, but can be easily changed when it’s time for a new style.

Some pieces of furniture need bold patterns, especially when going for a specific overall look or theme. Florals, geometric patterns, plaid, striped or themed fabrics are available in slipcovers, but rather than overwhelming an entire living room set with a pattern, choosing one bold pattern for an accent piece is a good idea. Chair slipcovers in patterns nicely coordinate with a solid sofa without overdoing patterns.

Dining room chair slipcovers allow you to either get a new look completely, or replace dingy stained fabric. A great way to mix solid and patterned fabric is to choose chair slipcovers in solid fabric for the four armless versions and then choose patterned chair covers for the chairs at the head of the table.

Canopy of Curtains

Held to the side with fabric ties, pleated floor-length drapes create a canopy effect in the master bedroom.

Short Shutters

Turn-of-the-century furnishings include painted half shutters across the bottom of the windows and a swag of striped fabric across the top.

Consider Curtain Lining

Line curtains with thick, dark fabric to cut down on glare in naturally bright rooms. Lining also helps protect drapes from dust and color fading.

Unifying Design

Yellow and blue toile covers French doors in the dining room and windows in the kitchen, unifying the two separate spaces.

Lace Garland

Instead of full window treatments, string a lace border along kitchen windows. It will let more light into a dark room and add vintage charm.

Vintage Shutters

Vintage louvered shutters replace curtains or blinds, making the window a focal point in the red-and-white dining room.

Bay Window

Red print fabric hangs artfully in front of this kitchen’s small bay window.

Double Treatment

Sometimes two window treatments are better than one. A swag of red-and-white gingham hangs over white hinged Colonial shutters.

Single Pattern

In this small guest room, a single, blue-and-white pattern covers the walls and a traditional valance, as well as accenting pleated shades.

Thinking about decorating your room in blue and white? This color union is a match mirrored in the sky and clouds, the snowy mountains, the ocean and breaker waves. Perhaps this sympathy with nature is why blue and white decorating schemes have always been popular.

Blue is a color theme, and it sounds as if you have enough of a variety in the different shades of the color. The living room suite is denim blue, but look at the shades in the design on the fabric: mauve, purple, blue. Assuming the curtains are another shade of blue, and that there’s some variety in the blues of the “what-nots,” you’ve got a theme going right here.

In a room that’s quite as busy as this one, choosing white as a background colour and for furniture and accessories will simplify and streamline the space. Add warmth simply with colourful blinds or cushions. Billy bookcases, Ikea

Whitewashed floorboards will instantly brighten a space; buy yours with this look, or give old boards a makeover with emulsion paint, brushed on lightly and wiped off, and clear varnish. White brushed pine planks, Quick-Step

If you’re sticking faithfully to an all white scheme, how do you decorate the walls? The answer is to frame black and white photos or prints in white frames. Grouping the frames makes a focal point. Room by The White Company

There are practical considerations when furnishing with white. Always, always get removeable furniture covers that can be machine washed. That way, your room will always be crisp – easily. Parchment Flowers collection, Sanderson

Even a plain room can be given bags of character with wall panelling – which you can buy in kits from DIY stores (or just use tongue and groove planks, fixed to battens). Painted white, or off white, completes it. Blinds by Hillarys
