Outdoor Slipcovers, Make Your Patio Furniture Look New Again


Would you like to avoid going into summer with worn out weathered patio furniture? Why not make your furniture look new again with outdoor slipcovers? Even the oldest, most worn out furniture can be freshened up with new slipcovers. Outdoor slipcovers also have the added benefit of protecting the furniture from the sun's beating rays as well as preventing water damage from rain and snow.

If a new look for your patio area is what you want, you could always rearrange the furniture layout. You could also add more furniture or an accent piece such as a small table or maybe even a fire pit ring. Finally, if you are looking to make a big difference with a very small upfront cost, you could try painting or staining your patio furniture for a new freshened up look. Sometimes it's just amazing how big of a difference a little bit of paint can make.

Of all methods discussed, outdoor slipcovers are among the easiest to implement. You simply measure your furniture, select the type of fabric and then order them online. Of course if you have excellent sewing skills then you might even be able to make your own covers. Just make sure you select the right kind of fabric and get the seams reinforced well. You want to be sure they will be durable and last for years to come. Of course, if you order online, you only have to measure your furniture since the slipcovers will be professionally made.

Once your outdoor slipcovers are delivered, the looks of your patio space can easily be changed simply by installing them on your furniture. The really nice thing about slipcovers is they provide protection for the entire piece of furniture, not just the cushion. Many outdoor slipcovers will also fit over wood furniture, thereby prolonging the life of furniture stored outdoors year round.

Many people also love outdoor slipcovers because they are very easy to take care of. Just remove them from the furniture and put them into a clothes washer. Try doing that with a large cushion from a chaise lounge. It's pretty much impossible.

The next time you want to jazz up your outdoor patio area, consider all your options. You could rearrange the layout of your furniture or add small, visual appealing accessories such as potted plants or statuary. You could even put the work in to repaint or stain your furniture or deck boards, but if you want something to cover the worn or weathered look of your patio furniture, then outdoor slipcovers should fit the bill.
