Transform Your Room Instantly With Floral Slipcovers

Floral slipcovers are a staple for homeowners who want to have shabby chic inspired home. What is shabby chic exactly? This is a term coined by some interior decorators referring to a restored home. Meaning, you transform old pieces of furniture to make them look good as new again, literally, “trendy and chic”.

It is not only the sofa that you can transform with floral slipcovers. In essence, you can turn any room into a cozy room. If you want to start with your living room, you can first tear down (not rip) your curtains, and change them with new ones. Pick one that screams “vintage” and a design that will look cool enough. After changing your curtains, you can try to put table cloths or cover in your coffee table. Pick one that is made of lace and sheer fabric to evoke the classiness that you are aiming for. Remember, shabby chic is not only about restoring pieces of furniture, you also have to put little elements that will complete the whole attitude and vibe that you are aiming for.

Elements such as a dainty flower vase and even an old fashioned telephone apparatus can add up to the whole look of your shabby chic living room. You can also play with the color scheme, instead of the usual browns and natural colors, try choosing colors such as peach, yellow, and light pink. Go for purples and blues too. And play with prints and patterns such as stripes, dots, and streaks for added effect. If you want a subdued shabby chic look, you can still go for the usual colors just pick those shades that are a bit lighter.

Now, the biggest challenge is how to make your sofa go with your shabby chic theme. Instead of buying a new sofa set that can cost hundreds of dollars, putting a slipcover over it will help you achieve the look that you are aiming for. In shabby chic, flowers play a vital role because they are the main design that inspired this look. Opt to have floral slipcovers instead of the plain ones then use them to cover your sofa and change the way that it look. This is a cheap alternative compared to having your sofa re-upholstered just to match your sofa theme. Slipcovers can also provide you with the protection that your sofa needs against the usual use and abuse, as well as against food and drink stains, thus making your sofa last longer.
