Update Your Furniture

When you're tired of that patterned upholstery, or it just starts looking grubby after a few years, go for simple slipcovers. Sure Fit offers one-size-fits-all solutions for everything from couches to dining chairs, in a variety of colors and fabrics. If you're an Ikea junkie, browse Bemz for slipcovers in modern prints and basic solids tailored to fit specific pieces from the retailer. Or tap your local upholstery shop to make custom covers, which will still set you back a whole lot less than a new sofa.
