Eurocover for sofa and armchairs

Without special expenses, modern eurocovers for sofas and armchairs will help to update the appearance of upholstered furniture and protect it from negative impacts in the future. These capes are made of durable and elastic fabrics, complemented by rubber bands. It is not necessary to choose eurocovers for a particular sofa: the main criterion for selection is the size of the furniture. The shape of the armrests, the presence of head restraints, or other features of the models do not affect the ability to use universal eurotrains. The secondary criteria for selection of products include the type of material from which they are made, the colors of the fabric. Also, owners should take into account the rules of use and cleaning of euro-discounts: following the recommendations and requirements of the manufacturer will help to keep the attractive appearance of the new product without difficulty.

Benefits and features

Covers of the European type for upholstered furniture are truly universal. There are models according to purpose (chair or sofa) and size. At the same time, the purchased Eurocap on a chair is suitable for any models of chairs, regardless of their size, height of the backrest or the width of the seat. Also, the selected eurocover for a double sofa without armrests can be used to protect any furniture from this category, regardless of its upholstery materials, the presence or absence of legs. This feature of European covers is achieved through the use of auxiliary gum. It is they who allow to cover the old furniture with a cape so that on its surface there are no waves, hauls. In addition, eurocovers are made of wear-resistant fabric, which for a long time will retain its original appearance.

Virtues

The main advantage of using eurocover is its effectiveness. Due to such a cape, you can easily and quickly update the look of old upholstered furniture without changing its upholstery. Other product advantages include:

• ease of choice (in appearance and size);
• reliability (fabrics used for sewing covers are in no way inferior to the strength of furniture upholstery, they are resistant to mechanical stress);
• ease of cleaning (in the event of contamination, owners will need to remove the cape and wash it in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer);
• convenience of putting on (most models can be put on upholstered furniture in just 5-10 minutes);
• a variety of cover designs (due to the use of different fabrics and sewing in different styles).

Despite the high efficiency of the eurocover, he will not be able to hide the roughness of damaged leather or suede, worn (or sagging) upholstered furniture.

disadvantages

A significant disadvantage of eurocaping for upholstered furniture was their high cost. High-quality and durable models that are resistant to damage, which can really be used even in houses where animals are kept, are expensive. Also, eurocaps are not suitable for use on leather sofas and armchairs, because without strong fixation they slide on the upholstery of furniture. Some buyers find flaws in the monotony of the interior, created through the use of durable covers. But a similar problem can be easily solved by "decorating" upholstered furniture with sofa cushions.

One of the drawbacks can be attributed, and a large number of cheap crafts. Less costly capes are made of less durable fabrics and, accordingly, are quickly wiped out and covered with puffs. Therefore, you should choose models with special attention.

Materials

Modern European trades are made of the following types of fabrics, differing in their characteristics and features:

• chinil: it has a soft surface, with different types of weaving it can practically not have relief or be similar to plush;
• Jacquard: dense material with a patterned weave, well suited for use in apartments that contain pets;
• microfiber: soft and elastic fabric, the best option to protect the sofa upholstery and create special comfort in the seating area;
• Pleated: distinguished by a dense interlacing of threads, has an inconspicuous pattern;
• polyester: a material with a rather dense weave, but little wear resistance.

Color varieties

Selecting the type of colors and patterns for sofa cover, we must not forget about the features of the room for which the model is selected. Solid products are optimal for interiors, including a patterned finish, eye-catching decor. The most fashionable shades are beige, burgundy, navy blue, light blue and light green. These colors will harmoniously fit into the design of the room and highlight the seating area with a sofa. Many European traces are made of fabrics with patterns: they are more suitable for rooms with a neutral design. Models with large ornaments, in the same range with the background, suitable for any room. Small inconspicuous drawings and ornaments will be appropriate in small and large rooms. The presence of a contrasting combination of background and patterns, regardless of their size, allows the use of eurocover in spacious rooms.

There are special "children's" colors of eurocovers with animals, plants.

The choice of interior style

• for sofas with armrests;
• for corner upholstered furniture.

For corner models, products suitable for 4-seater upholstered furniture are suitable.

For the correct choice of a cape, the back of the furniture is measured (from the top or front). It is better to use a tape measure for work or to measure with a centimeter (you may need the help of a second person). According to the received measurement and select the model:

• with a backrest length of up to 1.6 m, a eurocap is suitable for double sofas;
• back length of about 2.2-2.5 m will indicate the need to purchase a model for a three-seater sofa;
