Loveseat slip covers do more than renew a piece of furniture. They also
let you add to new colors and patterns to a room. And just as a room's colors can
affect its feel and sense of space, patterns contribute to the energy and unity
of the room. So when choosing loveseat slip covers, deciding on a plain or patterned
slip cover is as important as the color.
Pattern is necessary in any room to keep it from being totally drab and lifeless.
It reflects both the color scheme and the design style. Patterned loveseat slip
covers can enliven the dullest of colors and provide a continuity to the rest of
the room.
One way of using pattern is to have different designs with the same color. This
allows you to have the stimulation that the different patterns create and still
retain a sense of harmony. And this method lets you be free to choose the type
and size of pattern that can help offset any of the room's deficiencies.
Certain patterns lend themselves to certain moods. For instance, loveseat slip
covers with a blue and white check create a country casual mood. But a striped,
dark grey slip cover would instill a distinctly formal feel.
Although it's acceptable to have a unique pattern in a room, it should have a
balanced relationship to its surroundings. And the size or scale of the pattern
is one way to achieve that. A slip cover with a large pattern can highlight form
and color to blend with, or offer contrast to, the rest of the room. Or you might
choose loveseat slip covers with a small pattern if you wanted a good way to
soften its form.
Pattern can also be matter of texture instead of color. Loveseat slip covers
made of a ribbed chenille fabric feel soft and comforting. Yet the ribbing also adds
a sense of strength and stability to the room. Likewise, a satin damask with a
subtle embossed pattern imparts an atmosphere of quiet elegance.
Another type of pattern can involve the use of accents. For example, you could
choose loveseat slip covers with contrasting trim to show off its lines or match
your color scheme. Or you can pick a solid color and let pillows produce your
color and shape accents.
Looking for patterns in you environment is a natural part of being human. And
understanding the effects of pattern in room decoration will make your loveseat
slip covers become a natural part of a room.
