    Learn More About Slipcovers

    A slipcover is a removable covering typically placed over living room furniture like sofas and chairs. They come in both fitted designs that stretch tightly around the frame and cushions as well as looser designs that simply drape over the frame. A chair slipcover or a sofa slipcover is a great way to refresh a piece of furniture and change the style and feel of the room. Slipcovers also extend the life of your furniture by protecting the upholstery, and they are often super easy to clean—just toss them in the washing machine!

    Slipcovers for sofas and loveseats will give your main piece of living furniture a new life. Slipcovered sofas are cozy and welcoming, and you don't have to worry so much about spills while enjoying a snack or a drink. Etsy sellers offer a large selection of slipcovers for sofas of different sizes, from smaller loveseats to larger sectionals. Before you shop, take out a tape measure and get some basic dimensions like your sofa height and width to help you find the right one.

    Living room armchairs usually act as accents, and new chair slipcovers can help your chairs pop. Choose from a variety of designs offered by the sellers at Etsy, from wingback chair slipcovers to parsons chair slipcovers and more. Some slipcovers for chairs are designed to cover the entire chair, while others just drape over the cushions. Consider the look and measurements to ensure you pick a chair slipcover that is just right for your needs.

    One of the best things about slipcovers for sofas and chairs is that they give you the chance to change up your look. Etsy sellers offer an extensive collection of slipcovers in every color, design, and pattern you could want. For easy coordination, choose a simple, solid-color slipcover that coordinates with the color palette of the room and that you can dress up with some decorative pillows and throw blankets. Alternatively, florals or damask patterns are two popular options to give your space a designer touch.

    The material your chair and sofa slipcovers are made of can make a big difference in how they look and feel. Consider these main options to help make your choice:


    • Linen slipcovers: Soft, breathable, and durable, linen is a top choice for slipcovers of all kinds. Its lightly textured look is well-suited to a cozy cottage or rustic farmhouse style.
    • Cotton slipcovers: If a super-soft feel is what you are after, then you can't go wrong with cotton. Its smooth finish and light drape pair well with any room design.
    • Spandex slipcovers: The excellent flexibility of spandex slipcovers allows them to stretch over sofas and chairs of all shapes and sizes for a clean and crisp look.
    • Velvet slipcovers: Sumptuous velvet is an easy way to add a little touch of luxury to your home and some extra comfort to your seating.
