Consider a Slipcover

One of the main reasons to purchase slipcovers for sofas is to maintain the original upholstery for longer. Plus, if you want to change the entire color scheme of a room without the exorbitant expense of reupholstering the furniture, a slipcover could be the way to go—they can be made from a variety of fabrics, in any color or pattern you choose. In a matter of minutes, a colonial classic room can become an art deco masterpiece, just by throwing on a slipcover.

Finding a Slipcover

Slipcovers for couches are usually fitted by the length, height, and width of the sofa and are easily installed and removed for cleaning or storage. Stay away from slipcovers that can be purchased for a few dollars—they are like inexpensive bed linens. You’ll find yourself constantly tucking the cover back into the cushions. Spend a few more dollars to have your slipcover custom-made; you’ll wind up with a stunning furniture ensemble instead of a grouping of poorly upholstered furniture.

Other Ways to Make a Change

Add an area rug to define a conversation area or add pizzazz to any room. Rugs are a great way to add a new color to any room, or freshen up otherwise dull floors. Try placing your rug at an angle, to help it stand out. Rearrange your current décor—for example, create new groupings of similar items or rehang the art that’s currently on the walls. Finally, get rid of any clutter. Use crafty storage spaces for papers, mail, toys, and other items that can give a room a disorganized, messy feel.
