Whether you want chair slip covers for purely practical reasons or for
decorative purposes, you'll find they're a simple, yet elegant solution for both.
While they give new life to an old chair, they also can rejuvenate an entire room.
And the low cost of chair slip covers makes them affordable for any budget.
If you only wanted chair slip covers to provide covering, then any color would do.
But since you want them to fit your other furnishings, color selection is important.
If you have a decorator's eye, you probably know what you want. But if not, a good
place to start would be the so-called, natural colors.
The natural colors range from the browns of a pinecone to the greys in a piece
of slate. And they have the versatility to compliment most any color scheme. To
generate possible color ideas for chair slip covers, there's a simple designers'
trick you can use. Find natural objects that appeal to you, a pebble, a piece of
wood, a flower. And notice the colors and combinations you find the most appealing.
You'll want to match your slip cover color choice to the intended mood of the room.
And you may also want to mimic the texture. For instance, brown suede chair slip covers
can emulate the rough warmth of a weathered piece of wood. Or grey satin slip covers
to match the smooth cool elegance of a slice of marble.
Like a basic black outfit for clothes, beige chair slip covers can go with most
anything. And what makes beige so flexible is its subtle ability to compliment or accentuate
the colors around it. For instance, a pinkish beige could reflect the reds in a
room or give contrasting warmth to a coolish blue room.
Similar in effect to beige is cream color. It has the liveliness of yellow added
to the simplicity of white. And like beige, too much can be bland, but it provides
a good background for patterns and accents. Cream chair slip covers can also
increase the amount of light in a room and make it feel roomier.
But whether you favor natural colors or more bolder shades, the cheap price of
ready-made slip covers makes it easy to experiment.
