Looking At Some Of The Best Ways To Buy And Use Couch Covers

 

Buying a cover

You must exercise extreme caution when you buy a cover for your couch.

The first thing you should ensure is that the cover should fit properly on the couch.

For this, you will need to measure your sofa precisely using a tape measure that is flexible and following this process:

Measure the length and width of the sofa from one side to another and from back to front.

Be extra cautious if you have a Chesterfield sofa, as they can damage easily.

Note the highest and widest points, which are the minimum size you must match to find the right cover for your sofa.

You will find that most of the shops will sell couch covers based primarily on the length of the couch, but if you want to have a more customized couch cover, then such accurate measurements will help you a lot.

As for the fabric, color, and style of the cover, you can choose anything you like.

You can choose:

  • Solid colors (Forbes)
  • Patterns or prints
  • Canvas or cotton material
  • Upscale or casual design.

There are so many to choose from but make sure you consider the traffic and other design elements in your room and choose a cover that will blend seamlessly.

Tips to use

Now that you have bought your couch cover follow these tips to put it on.

Wash these covers and dry them before putting it on.

This will not only remove the irritants but also keep wrinkles to a minimum. 

When you put it on, check for the center front tab, arrange it by smoothing and tucking it wherever necessary and tie each corner.
