There are very few furniture pieces that can offer a place to sit, a place to kick your feet up and rest your legs or place to set a tray of drinks and snacks upon. As a matter of fact, there's really only one such versatile furnishing and that, is the ottoman. With so many uses, it's no wonder it can sometimes take quite a beating and begin to look old, weathered and ready to be put out to pasture (or into the nearest dumpster.) Since décor designers understand how much people love their favorite and most multi-purpose furnishing, cleverly (and thankfully) they came up with the ottoman slipcover.
Slipcovers for ottomans are available in several different styles that help homeowners choose the right one to blend in cohesively with their existing décor as well as properly fit their ottoman shape and size. Another variation on ottoman slipcovers is the fabric from which they are made.
Foot Ottoman
Because of their varying size differences, many ottoman slipcovers are somewhat adjustable to assure a proper fit whether they're stretched over the ottoman much like a sock over a foot or strategically tied at each corner much like a bed skirt.
The stretch ottoman slipcover is available in a wide variety of stretch fabrics that include but are not limited to chenille, micro-fiber, weaved canvas, suede and faux suede and linen. Like their name implies, these covers simply stretch over the top and sides of the ottoman. They're either pulled down to the bottom or feature a snug fitting pull down top cover with a wrap around stretch skirt that tightly fits around the ottoman for a snug fit the whole way. They're available in sizes from small which fits 80-110 inches, medium which will fit 90-130 inches and large which is made to fit 105-140 inches.
The tab tie ottoman slipcovers are also available in various fabrics and are somewhat adjustable. They feature instructions on how to properly fold the corners and sides in so that once tied, there's a perfect fit. These tie covers are a more formal or more "shabby chic" look depending on material and fabric pattern. They're lovely in any room of the house and can really transform an old torn up ottoman into a brand new one for very little investment.
Speaking of investment, depending on what type, size, and shape of ottoman slipcover you choose, expect to pay anywhere from on up to 0 or more. Shopping for these ottoman refreshers is easiest when done online because that's where you'll find the best prices and the best variety to choose from.
