Hey there. I’d like to talk to you today about slipcovers.

Remember the super sloppy untucked era of slipcovers? They have come a long way. Today’s slipcovers are much more fitted and tailored. While the idea of slipcovers might not be for you, listen to some of their benefits and you just might give them a chance.

Don’t forget why you bought a beach house – to relax. Choosing a pre-washed, machine-washable fabric for a slipcover will take the stress out of your life. Slipcovers are pet-friendly, kid-friendly, and even red-wine friendly. If someone sits on an upholstered sofa in a wet bathing suit with sunblock residue and sandy feet, there could be major consequences . . . but, on a slipcovered sofa – no worries. You can either spot clean or throw it in the washer.

If you like to redecorate or refresh your look with some regularity, then slipcovers are ideal. You can buy multiple sets in different fabrics and change them out with the seasons. Something bright and cheerful for spring and summer – neutral and warm for fall – and rich and comfy for winter. Not only does an additional slipcover give you low-cost design options, it extends the life of each slipcover. Never fear, should your furniture be discontinued, we archive all templates for any piece ever made so you can purchase extra slipcovers at any time. It’s amazing that with just a minimal investment in new pillows, rug, and throws, a different slipcover can achieve a totally new look for your living spaces.

And – if you’re the kind of person who drools at the idea of an all-white sofa, welcome to the slipcover world. You can wash away spills and spots as quickly as a washing machine cycle. Want to be even less stressed? Choose a performance fabric such as Crypton or Sunbrella.

Relax -you’re covered . . . slipcovered that is.
