Fabric buying tips:
Fabrics made from natural fibers such as cotton and linen are good choices for
slipcovers, as they are durable and stand up to being washed many times over.
Another advantage of natural fiber fabrics is that they “breathe”, which means
they allow air to circulate and moisture to evaporate. This makes them
comfortable to sit on, particularly in hot and humid climates where man-made
fabrics can feel uncomfortably close and sticky.
A small disadvantage of a 100% cotton or linen slipcover is that this type of
natural fabric has a tendency to become creased. However, this is easily solved
by ironing any wrinkles out after you wash your slipcover, and once it’s fitted
over your furniture it should keep its shape.
Often, natural fibers are blended with synthetics, which are made from 60%
cotton and 40% polyester. This blend has the best of both worlds, with the
durable qualities of cotton and the increased wrinkle-resistance from the
polyester.
Fabrics made from synthetic fibers are generally cheaper than those made from
entirely natural fibers, and they’re not just good for budget decorating.
Man-made fiber fabrics such as polyester have the benefit of being
wrinkle-resistant as well as cheap. Polyester is a very popular slipcover fabric
because it’s durable and keeps its color – it shouldn’t fade in sunlight like
some other fabrics do.
Velvet is another common slipcover fabric. The name “velvet” actually describes
the weave of the fabric rather than what it’s made from and velvets can be made
from various combinations of fibers. |
