How To Install a SureFit Sofa Slipcover

You might want to learn how to install a SureFit Sofa Slipcover, or any style for that matter, to give your living room a fresh new look without the expense of buying new furniture. It can instantly transform the look of a room, update drab seating or protect furniture from kids, pets, stains or rips. We had gone through a couple of living room sets ourselves mainly because of our pets climbing, jumping and tearing at the upholstery. Recently we wanted to change the ambiance of the room, but this time we opted for fitted coverings rather than buying a new couch and love seat set.

It added a great new look to our living room. There are lots of styles to chose from that work with pretty much any decor. They also come in a variety of fabrics and colors. We chose a style that is very similar to the one in the video below with the front tie closures except in a blue suede.

Here are a few hints that we found very helpful: Make sure you measure your couch or love seat to get the best fit. And it won't hurt to measure maybe two or three times. Make sure the style is simple enough to put on and take off for easy cleaning or if you want to change them out now and again. Be sure to chose a style that fits well with the decor of your room.
