Chair Covers

A simple and cost effective way to freshen the look of your chairs is to cover them with some new fabric. Most chairs are going to get a lot of wear and tear during their lives, and stains and spills all add to your furniture looking old and a bit weary. Well, chair covers can take care of this in minutes. There are thousands of different styles and designs to choose from, from patterned fabric covers to sure fit covers that will fit just about any kind of shape you can think of.

Stretch chair covers also do a good job of providing protection at little cost, and they are also easy to use and maintain. Many of these designs are machine washable, so you don't have the hassle of having to scrub and clean the material, you simply chuck them into the wash and let them dry on the line. A few hours later your chair covers are looking brand new and clean again.

Custom or tailored chair covers will cost the most money, but this is really the most professional solution if you want your chairs to look as good as they were when they were brand new. Choosing the right company for the job is essential, and you want to find a reputable outfit if you choose this option. It is also worth deciding if your chair is actually worth covering in the first place. If the springs and joints are in bad condition the not may not be worth the expense of having them covered, you may find the new covers end up sagging due to the bad support underneath.

Most people go for covers that are going to protect what is underneath. Many new and modern designs come with waterproof or plastic backs that will absorb any unwanted spills before they start to damage the chair fabric below. Dining room chairs are especially prone to food spills, or wine stains at dinner parties.
