How loose covers differ from reupholstery
A loose cover sits over the existing fabric rather than replacing it, which means the change is never permanent and the cover can be taken off and washed or swapped for a different one later. This makes covers a practical choice in rented properties, where altering the landlord's furniture is not an option, and a useful way to protect a sofa or chair from everyday wear underneath. Covers also tend to cost less than a full reupholstery, which makes them a sensible first step if you are not ready to commit to a permanent change in fabric or colour.
Cushions to complete the look
Cushions are usually the finishing touch once a cover is fitted, adding colour or pattern without committing to a whole new fabric scheme. We make cushions in a range of sizes to suit any sofa or chair, and can match them to your cover or pick a contrasting fabric to add some interest to a plain room. If you are not sure what would work, our team can talk through a few options based on the room and the cover you have chosen, so the finished look feels considered rather than thrown together.
