Variety of covers
Depending on the preferences for your own comfort, the area of the room and its design, you can choose a classic rectangular sofa, a corner sofa or a shell model with various mechanisms to turn the sofa into a full sleeper. But is it possible to find the appropriate cover for the sofa that you choose? Of course!
One option is a custom cover. Individual tailoring will help create a cover for a huge sofa or its mini-model. In the case of an angular solution, pay attention to the side to which the bench is attached; in the case of an irregular shape, create exactly the same model of cover. At the same time, the cover will be easy to put on the sofa, fully conform to its shape, repeat all the bends and not puff in difficult places.
As a fastener of a cover it is possible to choose:
- buttons. This option is appropriate if the room is made in a natural or national style, and the cover material itself has floral patterns, ornament or is decorated with buttons in the form of decor. Short gaps between the fittings - and the cover is fixed securely;

Many manufacturers offer universal covers for sofas in standard shapes and sizes. Choose 2 sets in order to be able to protect the furniture from dust, damage and spilled juice if the first set is in the wash.

At the same time, they do not fold, wrinkle, do not wear out, do not fade with time, do not slide and do not frown.

Some people choose covers only for armrests, as this place is most susceptible to dirt, mashing and scuffing. Covers for armrests can easily serve not only as a practical element of textile protecting armrests, but also as a decorative element of textile decoration. It is enough to add a satin ribbon bow, large buttons or applique in the form of decoration.
The choice of materials for the cover
When choosing a cover for a corner sofa or its classic model, considering materials, texture, pattern and shades, determining the maximum length (3-5 or 20 cm above the floor), pay attention to those who will use this sofa and in which room at home the sofa will stand. This is the only way to make the right choice!
So, the material that is needed:
- for children - environmentally friendly and natural, giving birth to the most pleasant tactile sensations. It can be a kind of natural fabric, for example, jacquard. The large pattern and multiple shades look respectable, cozy and massive, the texture of the canvas attracts with its strength and color fastness. Such material holds its shape perfectly and does not slip, which will allow serving in the nursery for a sufficiently long period;
- for the living room - it is eco-leather and upholstery nubuck. It consists of several layers that are not afraid of the claws of a beloved cat or spilled coffee, as it is capable of "self-healing", and caring for it is easy and simple;
- for the bedroom - resistant to rolling and minor mechanical damage, wear-resistant, not shedding, retaining color after numerous washings. This is a material based on synthetic fibers, velor, vinyl or flock. Modern flock and artificial velvet are resistant to fading, fading, stretching, reliable and durable. This quality is possible due to 3 layers of the base, each of which performs a specific function. Service life - more than 12 years.
A question of aesthetics and beauty: the harmony of color and patterns
The choice of color, shade, pattern or ornament of the cover material is as important as the choice of material itself. Indeed, a competent combination of shades and tones, large or small patterns can both refresh, ennoble, brighten and expressive living space, and suppress it. Therefore, when making a choice, proceed from the existing interior design and your own color preferences and sensations.
For example, to create a spacious and bright room, use monochrome fabrics of light or matte shades. This will completely relax and enjoy a good rest in such a room. And also give expression at any moment, using bright pillows or accessories.
To create a drive and positive energy in the room of matte tones, choose a cover in green, yellow, pink or blue. This will give the room naturalness, simplicity and charm. You can also make the room rich and luxurious by combining white and chocolate, champagne and cognac, black and snow colors, as well as other classic opposite shades in the color palette. They, like no one, emphasize modern styles, striving for expressiveness through simplicity, restraint and conciseness.
A small picture does not need to be chosen for a cover on a massive sofa - it will be lost against its background. a large drawing will make a small room heavier, and too colorful will annoy. In a word, the color, texture and pattern of the canvas is a continuation of the textile design of your bedroom, living room or nursery. Choose covers wisely and with love!
