Small Chair Slipcovers

Perhaps it's time to change the look of your living room, but buying all new furniture is expensive and time consuming. As an alternative, a slipcover for small chairs can be a quick and easy way to change the color pallet, texture or feel of any room. Just slip it on, and it fits with elastic bands under the padding. No need to toss out a perfectly good small chair.

Our advice Buying Guide

So the small chair that came bundled with your plush IKEA sofa has borne the brunt of your pet’s paws and your child’s fascination with painting. It’s looking like a pale shadow of its former self. But you don’t want to do away with it yet.

Maybe it’s your favorite multipurpose chair that’s still got a few years left in it. Maybe you got it custom made for that cozy corner. Give it a brand new set of clothes, aka Slipcovers.

Slipcovers are the easiest way to salvage your sofa, chair, recliner or anything else that’s starting to become an eyesore. And if you just conjured up images of ill fitting, slouchy covers that resemble an oversized pant, stop right there.

Slipcovers have evolved and you can very well find one that looks custom made for your chair without costing and arm and a leg. Here’s a guide to finding the right one for your small chair.

Did the chair come with a slipcover?

If yes, then you are in luck. It might very well be a templated slipcover and you can easily find a replacement for it, in the store that you bought the chair from.

There are many aftermarket sellers too for popular furniture brands. However, if it’s an upholstered chair, then you might have to make do with a readymade slipcover, which might or might not be the right fit.

Also called a universal slipcover, these are slightly loose and are designed to fit all types of furniture including specialized types of chairs and sofas, like a wing backed one. These are readily available in most big box stores in a variety of materials and designs.

The only possible downside to them, (if you consider it a downside that is), is that these are sized at least 10-20% larger than the chair and you might have to tuck it neatly into the corners.

What are the benefits of made-to-measurement chair slipcovers?

If aesthetics scores over pricing for you, then go for made-to-measurement small chair slipcovers. These will give you the perfect, form fitting look that you seek. It’s as good as having a new upholstered cushion for your small chair.

Most retailers will send someone over to measure your chair. But some online retailers need you to measure the chair yourself and upload the measurements online. In this case, grab a measuring tape and go to work. Take detailed measurements across the back, the height and width and the depth.

How to select the fabric for your chair slipcovers?

If the old slipcover or upholstery got battered sooner than you expected, then you’d want to make a better fabric choice the second time around.

Denim, canvas and cotton duck are reasonably priced, extremely durable and require zero upkeep. However, it’s difficult to get a form fitting cover made with these fabrics. The fit is usually on the looser side.
If the chair is rarely used, then a fabric like polyester can provide you the aesthetics you seek. It’s reasonably priced and available in hundreds of colors and finishes.

When ordering slipcovers online, always request for samples. Most online retailers will provide 8-10 samples for you to review.
