Guest Post: Slipcovers for Summer

It is a well-known fact that the slipcovers of yesterday were kind of ugly. But these days, slipcovers are modern, chic and stylish. While the new, and more stylish, slipcovers are ideal for use year-round, they are also great for summer.

Slipcovers don't need to be white or even solid to be chic. These floral patterned slipcovers add a summery touch to this dining room. And because the slipcovers hang loose, the look is more casual as well.

Everything about this living room is fun and beachy. From the slip covered couch, to the artwork, bright colors and light fixture on the accent table bedecked in shells, everything about this space screams summer vacation.

Isn't this space absolutely beyond gorgeous? You'll notice, too, in the background, that the dining room chairs are also decked in crisp white slipcovers.

The slip covered chair in this cozy bathroom is covered in terrycloth, a clever solution. If you can afford having a slipcover made, then it would be important to consider the type of fabric you use. Terry cloth is a perfect choice here, since the chair might get wet on occasion.

This dining room has a casual elegance to it, underscored through slipcovers that are sleek and stylish. Love how the ceiling light looks like a lantern, accenting the picnic table and casual white tableware.

Slipcovers are a really convenient way to change up your style, and experiment with new colors, patterns and textures. You can dress a pair of mismatched club chairs with a slipcover for uniformity or you can transform an ugly chair into something new and beautiful all with the help of a stylish slipcover.

  3. Never, ever tire of my white slipcovers! One of my chairs has the best ties in the back. I call that one "Hadley's chair" cause it was always in Hadley's room. Remember, Hads?
