Fashion tends to repeat. The previous styles of clothing are returned, the former elements of the interior design are returned – albeit from new, modern materials, albeit modified, but still the ideas are the former. No wonder they say that the new is well forgotten old.
And now, designers remembered the old idea of removable furniture covers. And if before, such covers had a purely utilitarian function and served in order to protect expensive furniture from dust, sunlight, from unsafe children’s leprosy and from pets of pets, now the furniture covers are a good and inexpensive diversify the interior of the house, create new style, give modernity and novelty to old or familiar things.
With the help of covers for furniture, you can change the style of the room, give it the features of classicism, country, or make national motifs. A denim style or a fashionable patchwork now will make your furniture look at an ultra -grace.
Covers on heterogeneous furniture can combine them into a single ensemble, and since the covers go inexpensively, you can have different sets for different occasions and for different seasons of the year. The winter kit can be bright and colored to make up for the lack of sunlight and cheer up. The summer kit can be made in light pastel colors that will well reflect the sun’s rays, preventing them from damaging the polishing and upholstery of furniture.
Such a set can combine capes on chairs, sofa and armchairs, sofa pillows. Under it you can choose the appropriate curtains and curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads on the bed – then it will be possible to change your interior in just an hour in just an hour. For a hostess who knows how to sew, it will not be difficult to make covers at least for a children’s room. I think the kids will appreciate this.
When choosing fabrics for covers, also think about how you will wash them. Dense and thin fabrics can be washed in an ordinary washing machine, but if you want to drape your furniture with heavy fabrics with a pile, get ready for the fact that after some time they will have to be faded.
Caps can be made tight, tight furniture, free or with drapery.
Dense covers are well masked by upsets of upholstery, create a classic style, but require skill in their manufacture. Such covers are attached on ties, hooks, buttons.
It is easier to sew free covers, however, they require certain skills in calculating and manufacturing a pattern and sewing. Free covers can be tied, while inaccuracies will not be noticeable. However, knitting covers will take much more time. Such covers are either not attached at all, or are strengthened only on the seat or back of the chair.
Putting drapery simply put on furniture or are attached on Velcro or pins.
When choosing fabric, it is necessary to proceed for considerations of practicality. The fabric should be quite dense and resistant to wear. Fabrics with a pile wear out quite quickly and lose their original appearance. They are not especially suitable for those who have animals at home – it is unlikely that such covers will be able to resist the claws.
It is preferable to choose fabrics with dust -repellent and antistatic properties. Artificial fibers with metallized threads look interesting. If you prefer natural fabrics, then it is best to choose linen fabrics. However, in this case, consider flax lack – it is easy to dry, so free covers may look untidy.
In any case, removable covers will allow you to radically change your interior without buying new furniture. And with well -chosen details, you can completely change the style of your home. Live beautifully!
