Each of us wants the house to be neat and comfortable, and the furniture to serve for a long time. Textile products in the apartment - cushions for sofas, curtains, rugs, decorative pillows, tablecloths - must match the overall style and design of the room and blend harmoniously with each other.

In addition, when choosing them, it is worth considering how easy they are to care for. For example, can they be washed in a machine or will you need to use dry cleaning services regularly, is it easy to remove stains from them. If there are animals in the house, then it is better to choose such capes for sofas and chair covers that are made of yarn or fabric with dense weaving: otherwise, the pet’s claws will quickly turn them into holey rags. But if you have small children, pay attention to how simple and easy it is to wash textile decor: after all, stains from yogurt, juice, and creative inspiration of crumbs can ruin bright things forever.

When choosing sofa covers, follow these simple rules.

In addition to beauty and comfort, such things should be functional and not demanding to care for. But they will help to avoid problems with stains or scuffs on the upholstery itself. A cover on a leather sofa, in addition, will protect expensive furniture from accidental scratches and cuts. If we are talking about colors, then modern manufacturers offer a rich assortment for every taste, it is worth focusing on the color scheme of a living room or office. For rooms in a classic or Victorian spirit, solid olive, green, beige sofa covers are suitable. If you choose marine or tech style, you can find turquoise or silver-steel covers. Fringe or tapestry with a pattern is no longer relevant, but high pile is still in fashion, although it is difficult to care for.

Knitted sofa covers are becoming more and more popular. Their advantage is that they are made of soft, enveloping fabric that fits perfectly on any shape. They are easy to care for, most often sewn from cotton or viscose jersey, and shirring with veins allows you to completely abandon ironing. Their advantages also lie in the fact that they perfectly wrap the armrests and headrests. You can order or make a whole set yourself, which also includes pillowcases for pillows and soft poufs. Such a sofa cover will perfectly protect new furniture from dirt and scratches, as well as hide scuffs and problem areas on the old one. Thanks to a special impregnation,applied to the fabric (by the way, you can do this at home), it becomes more resistant to stains, collects less dust. It is enough to wash knitted sofa covers in the machine once every two to three months - of course, under normal use. If you have small children or pets, you will need to clean and change covers much more frequently. Capes can be ordered at the studio or from the master, you can sew it yourself. Or you can just buy in the online store, since the offer is constantly expanding both at the expense of domestic and foreign manufacturers.
