Some say the charm of holiday decor lies in its temporary nature. We don\u2019t disagree.\u00a0But<\/em>\u00a0the colder seasons last well beyond the holidays, and<\/span> changing up all your decor for each<\/em> holiday is a lot. What if you could take a different approach with a DIY slipcover?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular readers of this blog will note an affinity for clothing-related metaphors \u2014 and you\u2019d be right. There\u2019s a great parallel between your clothes and the upholstery fabrics your furniture wears. Both say something about you, your style, and the life you love living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And both have seasonal cycles. In most latitudes, there comes a point in late summer or fall when shorts get packed away and jeans out. The same goes for light and airy linens traded for flannels, wools, and other more weighty fabrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing similar seasonal fabric shifts in your furniture\u2019s upholstery \u201coutfits\u201d can refresh your design vibe, give you more of what you crave this time of year, and add to the sense of occasion these seasons come bearing. And all of that<\/em> in a way that\u2019s affordable and quickly changed whenever the seasons (or your whims) change again. Today, we\u2019ll talk about rustic seasonal slipcovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, a super quick review. What\u2019s a slipcover<\/a> anyway? As the name suggests, it\u2019s a cover that you slip over something. In this case, furniture. It\u2019s like reupholstering your existing furniture or a newly acquired piece without getting into the nitty gritty of a complete reupholstery job.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a relatively easy and simple way to resurrect tired pieces or family heirlooms or to make a vintage find uniquely your own. Plus, it\u2019s a chance to refresh your vibe and play with your home\u2019s design style without significant expense or long-term commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our purposes today, slipcovers are also a great way to make a small and\/or temporary change to your furniture and style without breaking the bank. It’s a great way to sort of make a foundational shift to the design canvas you\u2019re working with as you\u2019re adding additional seasonal decor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
