Why to Choose Loose Sofa Covers?
Though most sofas are made with the upholstery permanently fixed to the frame, making it impossible to change without careful professional re-upholstering, there is another option. Loose sofa covers can easily be replaced by anyone without any skill or special tools; they simply need to have been designed to fit your model sofa.
What are the benefits of loose cover sofas?
There are obvious advantages to being able to quickly remove your sofa covers yourself. One is how easy it makes to clean them; many removable covers are machine washable so if they do get something spilt on them or just start to look dirty after regular use, you can easily pop them in the washing machine. Even those more fragile fabrics that aren’t machine washable are much easier to clean thoroughly when they are removed. This makes them great for people with young children or pets, or who do a lot of entertaining and worried about wine spills or food stains.
The other great benefit to loose sofa covers is how quickly, easily and cost-efficiently you can completely change the style of your sofa. Instead of being tied to one particular fabric, colour or pattern and finding yourself in the position where you can’t easily re-decorate a room because everything relies on suiting your sofa, loose sofa covers allow you to change your look as easily as buying a new set of covers and throwing them on.
With loose sofa covers available in almost any fabric, style and colour you could want, there is nothing to limit your creativity and you are bound to find the perfect covers for the look you are trying to achieve. You can even buy two sets so you can vary how your sofa looks, perhaps depending on the season or just on your mood!
Hayling Loose Cover Sofa
A clean, contemporary design, the Hayling sofa is a classic design that will look unobtrusively elegant in almost any space. The sofa covers are also fully removable, so you’re never constrained by the decision you make when you first buy it, and covers are available in linen, wool and velvet, and every colour from grey to pink, so you’re limited only by your imagination.
The Jude Sofa
The Jude is a cosy and inviting fabric-covered sofa with comfortable duck-feather-filled cushions. Its rounded arms and valance give it a classic look, but without being overly formal. It’s perfectly suited to contemporary or relaxed classic design schemes and, because its covers are removable, you can quickly and easily change how it looks and even how it feels, from incredibly soft and welcoming brushed cotton to light and comfortable linen, or a family-friendly linen blend.
The Amesbury Sofa
The Amesbury offers a stunning take on the classic loose cover sofa, available with either standard back or scatter back cushions. With loose covers draped over stylish, slanted arms, these sofas invite you to sink in and relax. The versatility of a loose cover sofa allows you to easily remove and clean the covers or switch them for a fresh look whenever you desire, and with removable covers available in a wide range of colours and different fabrics from luxurious to family-friendly, it’s easy to customise the Amesbury to fit into any style of home.
Other removable covers
The same benefits of having loose covers on sofas apply to other items of furniture, including cushions, footstools and armchairs. All of the sofas mentioned in this article are available in armchair styles, so you can keep a suite of furniture matched even as you change the covers. Many sofa cushions have removable covers even if the rest of the sofa does not, which makes them easier to clean and if necessary repair, while loose cushions can always be made with removable covers so it’s easy to pick exactly the fabric you want.
