Any decent couch covers?

8 years ago

I bought a sofa and 2 recliners a couple of years ago. Unfortunately my furniture is charcoal gray and my new house is done in browns. I’m trying really hard to spend my dollars wisely. Has anyone used furniture covers that actually look good? Thanks!

Instead of couch covers, why not try to find a way to make gray and brown work together. For instance, an area rug could tie the two colors together.

If you want them to look really good, use custom slipcovers for your furniture. If you are happy with a pretty good fit, try Surefit.com. They are not fashion-forward, but they do make very good quality slipcovers.

As armchairshopper suggests, finding a way to get the gray and brown to work together is a good option.

We would need to see some pics of the space but I agree gray and brown can work IMO the style of your furniture will say whther slip covers are the answer and recliners are very hard to get right with slip covers.
