Slipcovers are not what they used to be. Memories of sitting on that stiff floral sheet covering Aunt Norma’s couch and wondering what was actually under there have given slipcovers a bad name.
Here are eight great finds to help freshen up the stale reputation of slipcovers and save you the thousands you might spend on a new piece of furniture.
Summer is the perfect time to think about slipcovering your furniture. Extra traffic through the house, extra sticky hands and sandy feet that haven’t made it to the bath yet can all make their way to your well-kept furniture.
Whether you would like to change the look of a room, create an accent chair or just preserve the integrity of the furniture you already have, here are a few great places to shop for slipcovers and a favorite find from each:
Macy’s
The Sure Fit Slipcover in classic neutrals can change the look of any room. You would never know it is a slipcover from its tailored look and perfect fit and, best of all, it’s washable!
J.C. Penney
A Cotton Duck one-piece slipcover can transform any chair. The gorgeous accent ties give it a feminine feel, and it is easy to remove, wash and replace again and again.

Etsy
Well since you can find just about anything on Etsy it is fitting (no pun intended) that you should find slipcovers there as well. There are hundreds of different types of slipcovers from a variety of shops, but I fell in love with this Burlap Ottoman Cover by Paula and Erika. Who knew you could make an ottoman look so cute??
Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn offers slipcovers to fit any furniture in your home, not just the furniture they sell. Who knew? I certainly didn’t. But now I can’t get enough of this Dropcloth Loose-Fit Slipcover in twill. Somehow it looks elegant and sophisticated yet comfortable and inviting.
