What is primarily wear out when using upholstered furniture? Of course, the upholstery. To extend her life, tissue covers are invented. They are capable not only to protect furniture, but also to transform the interior as a whole.
Many domestic and foreign manufacturers of upholstered furniture offer products originally equipped with removable mothers: "Furniture factory March 8," Pushe (Russia), IKEA (Sweden). They provide the buyer the opportunity to choose the desired coloring from several proposed options. "Covers" can be not only the usual sofas, but also beds that have a bulk box for linen, several positions of the back and squinting. Thanks to the case, they do not need bedspreads ("Good Style", Russia). An additional details are offered to a nourishing "case" set: the cover of the back, seat, armrests and head restraints.
But the fact is that most factories in removable covers dress only pillows, while the body of the sofa or chairs hurts what is called, tight. The upholstery is more serious, suggests the fastening of fabric into the frame, and change it is too troublesome and expensive.
Once- and ready!
There is a somewhat different way to protect the furniture, namely, the sewing of new covers covering the subject, but not attaching to it. Covers are able to combine noncomplexed furniture and give the room a modern look. This service can be brought to the interior new paints, drawings, textures and secure a "new sofa" for each season.Covers are tightly sitting, free or dropping in the form of drapets. You only need to decide how free or sitting "on the figure" need "clothes" for your furniture. A proven way to hide the upholstery defects or the item itself is a tight cover. If he sews correctly, it is sometimes impossible to distinguish from the upholstery. Tightly stretched, without a single wrinkle, copies will delight the eyes of the owners of their immaculateness.
A free case, as can be seen from his name, less capricient. It is either only slightly "fits the figure" of the subject or sits downstream. Castpinking and armrests The details of the cover can be attached on strings. This technique relieves excessive rigor and facilitates the process of "installation". This is a relevant moment for seats, especially suffering from children and pets. Free covers, as a rule, do not have fasteners or fixed only on the seat or back to avoid slipping. Caid covers are simply attached to furniture like drapery, or attached to velcro, with hooks or English pins.
Material relations
The creation of "personal" covers does not need to be treated too frivolous, it requires both time and material costs. Buying cheap material is a very dubious savings: how much tools and efforts you spend on the manufacture of "updates" for your own furniture, so much time it faithfully will serve you. When choosing a fabric, you must be guided by considerations of practicality. The most important factor is the quality of the material and the correspondence of its density and the texture of the task.
The degree of practicality of the cover depends on the characteristics of the "operation" of the furniture subject. It is advisable to receive information about the wear resistance of the fabric on which you after long searches finally stop your choice. If consultants in the store are not able to answer your question, it is useful to consider that most textile companies use the MINTREY TEST, while the sample is tested under conditions in which the fabric will be operated. Pay attention to the label, the wear resistance index must be specified on it. For home conditions, the index 7000 is enough, even if it is a sofa, on which every evening will ride all the family together. For furniture items that are performed in the house more decorative function, you can buy expensive drapery materials with a low strength index. Pile fabrics that are rapidly wear out, do not suit if there are animals in the house. We will have to purchase a fabric capable of resistance under their claws (for example, from Lelievre, France).

Natural solution
All are heard about the ecology of natural fabrics and the dangers of synthetics. But here is very much but. There are synthetic tissue with dust-repellent, fire-fighting and antistatic properties (Blue Moon, Luciano Marcato, Italy). Modern textile technologies allow creating mothers from artificial fibers with unusual textured effects (Nobilis, France; Dedar, Italy), multilayer (Burger, France), with the inclusion of metallized threads (Fadini Borghi, Italy), which increases the range of their application.
Nevertheless, it is nicer to deal with natural fiber tissues. Thin or tight cotton is perfectly sewn and good is worn. Mixed fabrics are also considered a good option for the manufacture of covers. One example is half a half-sized tramasmas (Spain) (combination of flax and cotton). It has sufficient strength and wear resistance.
If you expect a long service of decorative textile accessories, stop at one hundred percent flax. It is easy to sew, drape, it looks good in any interior. But, unfortunately, very much. On the same one-ton flax will be visible every defects sewing. Therefore, choosing between white and colored cloth, it is better to stay on the latter. Alain with a printed pattern will be a compromise solution in an eternal question "White or color?".
As for the texture of the fabrics, their fashion directions are traced here. Today, fabrics of gentle incremental colors are popular with the use of a very thin metal thread giving shine. Or rainbow fabrics that are overflowed at once in several colors, smoothly overgoing one in another.

Perfect white
White color at first glance seems impractical. But everything is not so simple. Snow-white covers look good in summer in a country house. Light orgarsza cover brings a frivolous shade into the interior, and hard white flax perfectly protects the main upholstery. The stains are well abandoned from another material. Do not forget that linen and cotton fabric can be boiled to remove stains from wine and juice, you can use a bleach, you can stumble, finally. The only drawback is they sit down.Hospital, light shades fabric are not always able to hide the dark "winter" upholstery. In case, it is recommended to plant a light decorative case on a lining from Mitkal. By the way, the furniture and used to dressed in saccupine covers from Mitkal or Cotton. Then they played the role of protection against dust, and now they are simply used as a summer fabric. In love, it is for strict in the form of a cover. Choose a tone a bit different than that of the main upholstery, and for a festive, light, with enough catchy, even an extravagant pattern.
Feeling elbow
Armrests are the most noticeable, but, unfortunately, it is easily a dirty piece of upholstered furniture. Therefore, covers for them are performed with special care. These parts are cut out simultaneously with covers for the rest of the sofa or armchair to achieve the most accurate matching of the drawing. Removable armrests provide more opportunities for decorative design than non-removable.
Features of the furniture silhouette emphasizes the finish of the rul. Insert is noticeable on any case, so the steering should be perfectly smooth. The ruble from the same fabric as the case, finely models the shape of the sofa or chairs, not attracting special attention to armrests. Flat hand (Fabric strip without cord inside) will decorate the pillows for wicker chairs.
Natural fabrics, especially if they are decorated with an elegant manual or machine embroidery, require delicate washing
Soft landing!
Once a long time ago, the sofas were simply a cushion for seating, or rather a thick cover-born cable. Now soft or tightly stuffed pillows give the objects of furniture a special charm, and most importantly, increase their comfort. Moreover, it also applies to sofas, and chairs, decorative pillows appear on dining, ordinary wooden chairs, stools and wicker of garden furniture.Filler for such pillows serves foam rubber, wool yarn or other fibers. Poropolon for softness is tightened from above. When you need to give the pillow shape (for example, cut the angle), the foam rubbed, leaving sharp corners. For their roundings, too, it is impossible to fits the synthetic trees.
The highest puff filler is considered the best. Pooh / Pen allows things to take the original form immediately as soon as you get up.
The traditional square pillow can be diversified with trim. For this, rushes are sewn, leather cords, all kinds of braid. To make covers even more spectacular, applix appliqué and manual finish.
Covers for square pillows can not stand tightly. Often, it is clear to the decorative stitch when it is clear that the fabric from permanent use will reveal. It is also used to emphasize the features of the drawing on the colored fabric. Decorative stitch manually allows you to use thicker thicker compared to upholstery threads, such as severe flax or wool.
Cut, even causing drawings and colors selected for pillows will give a room a variety. It does not occur with the risk that the pillows will dominate in the interior (as inevitably dominated the upholstery or curtains of the same tissue-saturated fabric).
Day pillows
The cloth for pillowcases on decorative pillows in the drawing should be combined with a sofa cover. If there is a dominant motive on the main matter, it should be supported on the pillows, on the principle of companyon tissues or contrast. Perfectly look like a pair of color pillows and chosen-shaped curtains. To create a color contrast, you can choose some bright shade, which is no longer repeated anywhere.
Turkish pillows suggest the use of a special type of covers. Their feature is small folds or assemblies at the corners. These pillowcases are put on the same square sofa pillows, but give them a shade of informality corresponding to the style of the country.
The so-called free blanket covers and capes, besides comfort, contribute to the interior of the taste of artistry. These covers are more used for decorative purposes, emphasizing or shadowing furniture. There is a similar case, the result of creative fantasy and high portno skill, which immediately translates furniture in the rank of copyright.
Good all that is extraordinary and tastefully selected. Laws are the same as in the ability to dress. The so-called trends, including in textile fashion, is a somewhat contrived phenomenon, the consequence of fear remains an outsider in the battle for the client. In my opinion, the fabrics are currently relevant with elements of handmade or its imitation. There is still a great interest in flower and ethnic motifs that each year are played by designers in a new way. By the way, this season hit the "Russian" topic, from the use of ancient ornaments and techniques of folk crafts to the rich embroidery on the velvet. Well, quite on the other side of the conveyor live handmade fabrics, with a hand-width and embroidery. At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. There are new manufacturing technologies. Fabrics are born from a compound of various textile materials (threads, fibers, yarn, knitwear) by mechanical interpenetration. As a result, speaking by the language of metallurgists, it turns out a textile alloy with a spectacular texture. Strip or cell, flat or convex production, crazy or stinging pattern - today there is a huge variety of fabrics suitable for the manufacture of covers. "
What how much?
The price of the question depends on the material: the higher the content of the natural fiber, the more expensive the product. The cost of imported tissues for sewing the cover begins from 20 for 1 p. M. Silver with traditional upholstery materials (from 80) the price is quite acceptable. But if we consider that even for a modest model of a tightly sitting cover for a chair without decorative delights, you will need at least three meters, it turns out that it is not suiced. Reduce cost can be used using a large width fabric. The consumption of matter in this case is shrinking. Tailoring of the bilateral case lends the cost of production by one and a half times. Rectibly at the cost of the textile "case" affects the presence of additional parts, rolling, rushes, cords, brushes, embroidery. Accordingly, the more product is decoratively saturated, the more expensive it is. Types of finishing of pillows. Complete amount. It is an applique, and embroidery, including beads, and finishing with various non-intestinal materials, such as fur and leather. This is the use of all sorts of sewn cords, brushes and kants, as well as recorders, leather cords and belts and even bulk decorative elements made of knitted knitwear and felt. Designers are actively and, you can even say, fun include unconventional elements in the trim, do not be afraid and unpleasant to the touch of materials (like: SWAROVSKI rhinestones (Austria), overhead flowers from organza, manual and machine embroidery). The cost of manual embroidery is calculated from the number of hours spent by the masters on its creation. So, 10cm2 (for example, a monogram or a monogram) hand-embroidery cost 70-80. Machine embroidery will cost 2Pase cheaper.
The cost of design services for textile design chairs, sofas, chairs and stools depends directly on the size of the order. In cases, the amount is calculated on the basis of the number of row meters lines (from 50 rubles). The author's design is reflected naturally at the price of budget decisions. Inesley decorative pillow 4040cm from Turkey or Pakistan's fabric costs 80rub., The manufacture in the design studio of the pillow pillows 4545cm costs $ 70, the cape cover is 150200cm- $ 400, and the cover on the chair is from $ 600. But the result! ..

Masters caused?
If we are not talking about a chair, which the client can bring to the designer himself, then a technologist goes to the house. It produces the most accurate measurements of the furniture object and even makes the necessary patterns. The departure of the wizard on the object costs from $ 40 or is included in the overall cost of work. Some salons besides "reliably" offer such a service as a "probe on a cover".
From inexpensive tissue sews "layout" of the selected model. The customer can clearly imagine the chosen shape of the case and make the necessary adjustments to it. The deadline for the order is influenced by the presence of tissue in the cabin. If it is in the right amount, you will have to wait just two weeks, if you choose a fabric on the catalog and a half-month.
As a rule, textile design is carried out in the complex. Creating a single interior style often involves the use of one fabric for curtains, covers for furniture and decorative pillows. Therefore, the most rational decision is to appeal to the design bureau or textile shop, where there is its own production shop. So you can avoid many troubles that happen during handicraft work. For example, before sewing, the matter must be treated with steam, otherwise in cleaning it will give shrinkage, IT.D.
Removable covers and decorative pillows are able to become both temporary and permanent furniture satellites. They can be put on the arrival of guests or Sunday dinner. Instantly transforming a room to the children's holiday or a new year meeting, you deliver the participants of this event great pleasure and vivid impressions.
