Renovate your sofa with our sofa covers

Do you think it's time to change your sofa? Think a little more. Instead of buying new furniture whenever one of them seems tired and old -fashioned, you can renovate it. 

 

If you start by buying a quality sofa, with a solid structure, you can save money because you will be able to renovate it when the fabric is old or damaged.

Weigh the pros and counter before you decide

So how much does it cost to cover a sofa? In truth, it depends. The choice of fabric and the size of the room are the largest considerations. You must weigh the pros and cons. In some cases where the sofa is really in poor condition, it may be worth leaving.

The purchase of new furniture also has hidden costs such as delivery costs that could make the purchase of a new prohibitive sofa.

Costs to cover a sofa

The sofa is often the most expensive furniture in the living room or even the house. A very good quality sofa should last about 25 years, but during this period, the fabric can be worn and demode. Covering it is often a very good option.

To cover a classic three-seater sofa, you can expect to pay around € 600 in labor more the fabric costs. The cost of the fabric may vary enormously, so there is no way to give you a precise estimate. Most three -seater sofas require about 18 meters of fabric, so keep this in mind when choosing. Also remember that a fabric with a large -scale pattern may require a little more work.

The same applies to armchairs. Think that the cost will be a bit lower. The cost of labor should be around € 500 and you will need around 14 meters of fabric. 

Again, make sure you get a precise estimate of the quantity of fabric required before buying it. Remember that it is always better to have too much fabric rather than too little. If you have leftovers, you can always make cushions.

Details on the fabric

There are two ways to get fabric. Some upholsterers will force you to buy it from them. Other professionals will leave you free choice.

• If you go through a upholsterer, it can sometimes be a little more expensive, but you don't have to worry about finding the right amount of fabric. 
• If you choose to get your own fabric, you will need to get an estimate of the professional to make sure you buy the right amount. 

It can be cheaper, but it requires a little more work from you. In addition, you should make sure that the fabric you buy is lasting enough to be used to cover your sofa.

Cover chairs, prices

Covering wooden chairs (such as dining room chairs) can cost between 100 and 250 €. It depends whether or not you want to have garnishes or other details. If the chairs have retractable seat cushions, then it's much cheaper and it's really easy to do it yourself. If you do the seats and the files, you will need one to three meters of fabric.

Buy a sofa cover, the most convenient option

Sometimes you may notice that it is best to buy a cover to cover your sofa. 

THE Sofa covers are an excellent choice because they can be removed, washed and changed according to your desires. 

If you go through a professional to make the cover of your sofa, the labor costs will be almost the same as if you cover a sofa. 

Of course, if you opt for a prefabricated cover, the costs will be significantly lower. 

As you can see, if your budget is limited but you want to give your sofa a facelift, opt for a quality cover. 

How to make the fabric sofas last longer?

Now that you know more about the means to cover a damaged sofa, we want to give you some tips to make your fabric sofa last longer. It will be a precious help if you have just acquired a sofa or if you have just received your cover. 

Like a leather sofa, there are several simple ways to make sure that your tissue sofa for years. 

Don't throw yourself on your sofa

It seems very obvious, but the sofas must bear a lot of weight over the years of use. Sofa frames are solid and robust, but can always be damaged if you are too abrupt with them when you sit down.

Sit slowly and slowly; Do not throw yourself on it, no matter your weight. 

Keep the cushions well padded

The cushions filled with fibers must be reshaped every two days (once a day cannot hurt). This helps them keep their initial shape and prevents “deflating” of the cushions when the pressure is exerted on the fibers. Doing this will save you regularly to have to replace the cushions in your sofa often, which will save you time and money.

Place the sofa far from the areas where it can be easily stained

The fabric sofas are much more exposed to splashes and tasks than leather sofas due to their absorbent power. When you position your sofa, try to keep it at a good distance from any splash area such as the table on which you eat or a bar. Be very careful when you dine on your sofa and be even more careful when drinking red wine! And if you have young children, think of Covers for waterproof sofa !

Remove the bouloches regularly

Bulling is a normal and very common phenomenon with fabric sofas as well as on the covers. It can also give your sofa a much older and worn aspect than it is actually. Once a week about, remove them with a fabric razor (hand or electric) and your sofa will immediately appear 3-5 years younger.

Use reversible seat and back cushions

If your fabric sofa has reversible cushions, it is recommended to return them regularly so that no side is subjected to more pressure than the other. This will keep your cushions in very good condition longer. We recommend that this is done once a week for the sofas concerned.

Protect your sofa with a cover

The best way to permanently protect your sofa is to place a cover. Your sofa will be preserved from anything that could damage it and you can also easily wash the cover or change it according to your desires.
