  • How about a Slipcover

    There is another way to reuse older furniture whether it is bought from some one else, or from your own home.  All you have to do is slipcover the furniture.

    I am not writing about those throw on things that you can purchase at the store or from the Surefit company, I am writing about a custom fitted slipcover.  This is custom made for each piece of furniture.  The main body is slipcovered and the cushion is slipcovered.

    This is a great way to update, change the color, protect the furniture, or cover up an old worn piece of furniture.

    If you know how to sew, you can make your own. Cost then would be for fabric only

     If you don't know how to sew, then a hired slipcover pro would be the best way to have it done...  Now there is the cost of labor and the cost of fabric.  

    If one is concerned about older furniture and possible dust mites, it can be encased with an undergarment and then the new slipcover can go on top of that.

    Just thought folks needed to know about this other option.  www.slipcovernetwork.comOn Umbra on couches posted 3 years, 5 months ago 6 Responses
