Slipcovers can make your love seat look brand new in no time. But, finding a slipcover with your preferred color, design, and fit for your chair may seem like a hard task, but all it takes is following a few simple steps.
Covers come in diverse styles and colors. You can also choose to fit them from the back, front, or sides of your chair. As a result, you can hide the outdated parts, sections with fading color, or the worn-out areas of your sofa.
If you do not choose to go with stretch slipcovers, there are many other covers with various sizes and colors that may be ideal for your love seat. All you require is a tape measure, together with a few instructions, to ensure you buy the upholstery that perfectly fits your chair.
DETERMINE THE SIZE OF YOUR SOFA

To ensure you pick the right slipcover that precisely fits your sofa, you'll need to first determine the length from a particular armrest to the other.
Then, measure the depth from the front all through to the back.
Finally, measure the height from the bottom to the top of your sofa’s cushion.
You'll also need to know whether the cushions are square or if they fold around the armrests.
START WITH YOUR SOFA'S LENGTH
To begin with, measure the length of your chair from a particular armrest to the other. It is vital to know this length as it is the longest possible area the upholstery can cover.

MEASURE THE WIDTH NEXT

It, however, does not mean you cannot buy a new custom-made slipcover. Designed with your preferred style, fabric, and color, with them, you are sure to improve the looks of your sofa. You should, however, note that they require more care compared to the universal ones.
DON'T FORGET THE CUSHIONS
When measuring the width of your cushion, do it when it is still on the sofa. Meaning you measure the area beneath the armrest, from a particular side to the other. Measure it at the broadest part of the seat to ensure it fits in perfectly, even more, relevant if the cover you are to buy will be an exact fit of your sofa.
