When decorating your space, ask yourself what kind of look and feel you’re ultimately going after. What this translates into is texture, fabric, and color.
Decorating with Texture
What kind of texture works with the feel and sense of comfort you are looking to achieve? With so many choices on the market, you can find slipcovers in colorful washable cotton, durable denim or faux suede, elegant velvet, snuggly chenille, faux leather, jacquard and many more.
Stretch twill fabric is a casual fabric designed to be used in virtually any setting. It is probably the most popular slipcover fabric and can be used to coordinate with virtually any decorating style or color scheme. You can even match the covers with different seat cushion colors for an even more stylish and original look.
Micro suede fabric is gaining fast in popularity, is durable and works in both formal and casual settings. These look best in browns, tans, and stone colors. And if you like the texture and durability of micro suede and want to bring in a bit of color, burgundy may be a good choice for you.
Chenille fabric, offers a very soft, comfortable fabric with an eye-catching traditional design. And if you’re looking for texture that provides a simple elegance that works with almost any décor, you can’t go wrong with a diamond jacquard pattern. Depending on the color, it provides a contemporary look (ivory) or a traditional look (latte).
Decorating with Color
Neutral or basic colors to provide you with a level of easy sophistication. You can accessorize to provide your own distinctive touch – express your personality through accessories for your own personal spin.
Think about how you like to feel in your home and what you presently have. Want to stimulate the senses? Go with bright primary colors in red, blue, or sunny yellows. Contribute to a particular style of décor such as Southwestern, Country, Traditional, Shabby Chic, or Victorian with appropriate slipcover fabrications and design patterns. Or there’s always white paired with black and red for a contemporary look or pair white with navy for a nautical look.
