Wing Chair Slipcover
A wing chair, or wingback chair, is definitely a more formal piece of furniture and if you
need to change the outer covering on one you can't just throw a blanket over it. That would defeat the purpose of this type of chair. You need a
slipcover that is form fitting and will not be so obvious that it's not the original upholstery. You need a wing chair slipcover.
It used to be very hard to find this kind of chair cover. Of course you could find one for couches and recliners, but for this more formal,
more unique kind of chair they were just harder to find. Admittedly you aren't going to find it easily in a box store like Walmart, but you can
find them online without much trouble.
Surefit is the most popular maker of these furniture covers and slipcovers. And true to their nature they have more than just one style. As
you can see from the pictures above you can get covers that show the pedestal legs of the chair, or you can get a cover that completely hides the
legs (useful if they are damaged in some way) and make it look more like a recliner. Incredibly you can also get reclining wing chair
slipcovers.
Available Colors: Blues, blacks, browns, greens, neutrals, reds, yellows
Fabric type: stretch or faux leather
Pattern: contemporary, solids, stripes
As you can see by that list of options there are tons of choices available. You can find a stretch fabric that will adjust to fit nearly any
shaped chair, whether it's a plush chair or less cushioned, and choose from a variety of colors to coordinate with your room. Perhaps the neatest
aspect is that you can get a cover to immitate leather. So you can turn a rough fabric chair into a soft leather feeling with just a simple
stretch cover priced less than $90. If you want to change the fabric with the seasons to complement different colors in your room depending on
whether it's spring, fall, winter or summer, you can.
You can buy these direct from the manufacturer or go through an online retailer such as Amazon or Target. Most are machine washable and with
proper care would last you for many years. These slipcovers are an excellent way to extend the life of your furniture when they become stained or
ratty. Instead of throwing it out or giving it away, you can save yourself a fortune in new furniture simply by replacing its outer fabric
covering. This is an excellent and popular idea with college students who are given hand-me-down furniture but want to make it their own
style.
