Covering just one chair can make a world of difference. If all your living room furniture is in neutral colors, adding one bright chair slipcover can bring the room to life. Add a red chair and conversation will get lively. Add a blue chair, and you will create an atmosphere of serenity.
Put the one chair you cover in a conspicuous spot and the effect will be greater. For example, it can be at the cross bar of a “U” shape made by the chair at one end and a couch and loveseat on each side.
This gives it a place where it will be seen and used. At the same time, it doesn’t usurp the couch as the center of attention. Putting the chair slipcover on it will make the room brighten without letting the chair steal the show. It will be a part of the overall effect of the room.
If you use a chair slipcover on each chair in your dining room, you can change a room that is often very colorless. These slipcovers usually cover the entire chair above the legs. They can be purchase in canvas for outdoor use, but they also come in softer fabrics made for indoor use, too.
Yet, it’s the color that really makes the difference. Put a lemon yellow chair slipcover on your dining room chair, and you will enjoy a sunny looking room. You can even put different colors of slipcovers on your dining chairs at the same time.
However, it’s probably not wise to use too many contrasting colors on the different chairs of your dining set at the same time. This will make the room look too busy. If you want to use this idea, it’s best to just use a couple of harmonizing colors. Alternate each chair slipcover with the next as you go around the table.
Chair slipcovers can be used to make a worn chair look new again. It can be used to cover stains, or to keep them off the furniture in the first place. The nicest reason to use a chair slipcover is to brighten up your room with a splash of color. Decorating your house this way with slipcovers can be fun.

Blue couch slipcovers come in every shade from ice blue to deep navy blue. Powder blue slipcovers are used in some rooms for a simple, comfortable look. Add a vase of red roses on a coffee table and you have a lovely contrast. It’s also good to use bright primary color blues for couches in children’s playrooms.
Red couch slipcovers can be a bit disconcerting if they are overdone. That’s why, if you have a deep or bright red couch cover, you should tone it down by using other colors on accent pillows or for other furniture in the room. Softer reds just seem warm and inviting.
Couch slipcovers that are green like the colors of leaves and grass can make a room more relaxing to be in. That’s because it reminds you of being outdoors in spring or summer.

When you put on purple couch slipcovers, you are in for plenty of comments. It will make your room seem unique and interesting. Since it is the mixture of a warm color (red) and a cool color (blue), it can fit into either category, depending on which component is predominant. Use different variations of this color in warm or cool color schemes.
Don’t make your final decision on couch slipcovers until you see the covers themselves, or until the company sends you swatches. A color may look quite different in a catalog or on a computer monitor than it does in actual fabric.
