However, today this problem can be solved fairly quickly by buying eurocovers on the sofa. These bedspreads are unique and have a number of features.

Features and benefits

It is accepted to call the eurocover the special cover made of the material developed on special technology penetrated by rubber threads. Due to this feature, the material is elastic: it stretches well in any direction, taking the desired shape. This nuance attracts a wide range of buyers who have a soft sofa at home.

Being the invention of practical Italians, such accessories have found application in Russia.Today, they are the subject of attention of creative designers who like to experiment with the transformation of ordinary things into stylish functional novelties, so necessary for every modern person.

Eurocovers are universal, because such products do not require the most accurate adherence to size. The material itself plays a decisive role, it is combined with soft furnishings. He tightly wraps the sofa on all sides, creating the illusion of a new upholstery fabric.

The coating is so perfect that it does not have folds, irregularities, excess textiles: the sofa is packed evenly, there is no feeling of a temporary cloak.

This is a new "clothes" sofa, a way to repair, allowing you to save furniture from the constriction or replacement. And the covers are really unique: at their expense, the sofa is transformed for the better. Their main feature is ease and simplicity in application. They do not need additional assembly, as they consist of a solid web of the desired shape, but are fastened by hooks or zippers.

Merits

Today, eurocovers on the sofa are presented in a wide range. Considering the wide thematic and color scales, you can choose such a product practically to any existing furniture - in tone or contrast, as well as on the basis of style preferences.Eurocover is suitable for any room of the house where there is a sofa - whether it is a living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining area in a studio apartment, a loggia or a kid's room. Updated furniture looks appropriate - regardless of size, shape, model.

These sofa accessories have a lot of advantages. They:

  • Able to change the mood of the room, making a special atmosphere (depending on the selected color and saturation).
  • Made from hypoallergenic fabricdoes not emit toxins, which is especially important for allergy sufferers and children (textiles do not irritate delicate sensitive skin).

  • Due to the special structure of the material with a relief resistant to pollution, they repel dirt, and therefore they do not get dirty as much as ordinary textile capes.
  • Are not capricious in the care (calmly carry up to 100 washes, when correctly selected, they are not deformed, do not fade, do not shrink in size).
  • Perfectly combined with decorative pillows., made in the same style (interior decoration, creating a set of visibility).

  • They are an excellent gift option close to the celebration: such a household item is always necessary and will be perceived "with a bang."

We must pay tribute to the design: some models do not need to be removed to transform the sofa. Given the versatility of models, in which the accessory is equally well suited for sofas with armrests and without them, it can be noted that there is no price for such products.This is exactly what you need in every home.

The eurocover will delight the user for at least five years. Usually such products last even longer, but over time you want to reintroduce fresh paint in the design, change the color, style, pattern.

Therefore, practical buyers are trying to buy two accessories at once: this way you can diversify the design of the room, and at the same time decorate the sofa, while one cloak will dry after washing.

Eurocovers on the sofa have two additional benefits:

  1. They can be supplemented with decorative elements of cut., finishing accessories for designation of borders (cord, band, edging), decoration (fringe, lace, ruffles).
  2. The second advantage of such products can be considered a mass or individual method of manufacturing.. Manufacturing companies always meet the requirements of the client, offering to produce an exclusive eurocover for an individual or non-standard sofa.

As for the price of sofa eurocovers - they depend on the shape, type, color of upholstery, cost (the more expensive textiles, the higher the price of the product).

Minuses

Alas, cheap models do not differ in durability. It makes no sense to buy such products, if you plan a long operation. The best savings will be the acquisition of initially high-quality accessory, but it is not cheap.

Other disadvantages of eurocovers for sofas include:

  • the need for careful selection of colors to match the tone of existing interior items;
  • Removing the cover when transforming a sofa in folding, withdrawable and turning structures (does not apply to the “book” system and its analogues).

Functionality

The uniqueness of European sofa covers lies in its multifunctionality. These are not simple capes that decorate the sofa and give it a well-groomed look. In most cases, this is the highlight of the chosen style, the accent zone of the room.

Buying eurocover on the sofa helps to solve a number of problems. This cover:

  • It literally saves the “native” upholstery of the sofa from mechanical damage., abrasion, loss of color, making it attractive for a long time and protecting the texture (especially important if there are creative children in the house).
  • Protects the sofa from the claws and hair of pets (eliminates the penetration of an unpleasant smell, discourages any desire to sharpen claws on the surface of the sofa).
  • Due to the shade and size of the print can create a visual illusion of space. and bring freshness or warmth to the room.
  • Able to make the room bright - depending on the selected color.
  • Perfectly masks problem areas of the sofa, associated with intensive use (closes dirty spots, dents, cuts, scuffs, holes, places burned by cigarettes).
  • Able to inspire human creativity, performing important tasks.
  • Supplemented by a pair of identical chair covers (footstools, chairs), will help to make a harmonious set of different design items of upholstered furniture (perfectly hides the fragmentation).
  • Closes the joints of the sofa details, reducing the likelihood of injury during random sudden movements (relevant in models with a steel mechanism of transformation).
  • Provides aesthetic appearance of the sofa, does not slip, even if children jump on it.
  • Unobtrusively sets the style of the roomin which it is located.

Eurocovers are practical products. Due to the structure of the material used, they reliably protect the surface of the sofa from dust, not passing it inside.

Types and sizes

The type of eurocover depends on the model of the sofa. There are three categories of coatings: on straight, corner and island sofas. In each case, the product is different from other options. If for direct model the case is symmetrical and is called universal, in the corner one should keep in mind the direction of the side of the corner, otherwise the accessory will not fit the sofa. Corner models are divided into right and left.

When buying a eurocover, the shape of the extra sofa parts matters.

The style on an angular sofa without armrests, with a ledge, an ottoman is different. It can be a classic, with a skirt, on a standard size, 2, 3-seater sofa. In some models, the product is volumetric.

There is a certain scale of sizes, and for each type of sofa.

Even if the sellers assure that the product is dimensionless, it is not quite so: the dimensions of the compact sofa and the spacious counterpart can vary greatly. Textiles, though stretching, are not dimensionless. Too stretching, it can very quickly lose its elasticity.

When purchasing an accessory for a straight sofa, they usually rely on the backrest length indicator. If one indicator is not enough, you should measure the height of the sofa from the floor to the seat, its depth, and the length of the armrests. For corner designs, measure the backrest angle, measure the main part.

The dimensions of straight sofas range from 120 to160 cm (double models) and 160-250 cm (three-seater). Corner structures differ in total length - up to 5.5 m.Knowing the size of the sofa, to choose the right size of the eurocoal will not be difficult.

When buying an accessory for an angular model, it is worth looking from the front, noting the right side of the corner.

Nuance: products on an elastic band have nothing in common with eurocovers. In the second case, these are products that are held using elastic rubber bands. Eurocovers originally "rubberized".

Materials

By production of such products use various textiles. It is different texture, can be smooth or embossed, with the content of natural and artificial fibers.

Due to the composition of the material, the user will never have problems with breathing, lack of air. In addition, the material will not miss unpleasant odors, which is another plus of such accessories.

In total for such covers use about 10 types of fabric. The list of quality materials for sofa European covers includes:

  • Microfiber - synthetic material with high elasticity, having a good density of interlacing of fibers and softness of shinilla, capable of taking any given shape without wrinkling, creases (looks like suede, but more dense).
  • Polyester - synthetic material with remarkable practical properties, resistant to abrasion, not rolling down, perfectly keeping its shape.
  • Jacquard - 80% cotton material with the effect of "anti-claw", the addition of elastic threads that prevent the loss of shape, volume, perfectly retains its properties and has a characteristic feature in the form of a pattern with a three-dimensional effect.
  • Shinilla - light and soft textiles with high practical performance, not inferior in quality to dense and heavy analogues. This is a noble material, which is characterized by the plush surface of the front side.

Pleated - smooth fabric, quite soft and pleasant to the touch, consisting of cotton and polyester, easy to clean. It is perfectly stretched in any direction, especially in demand for the design of direct type sofas.

Jersey - one of the best varieties of materials for eurocovers, has an incredibly soft texture of medium density, pleasant and comfortable to the touch, strong enough and resistant to machine wash.

Elastic fireproof material with self-extinguishing effect is also used as textiles for eurocovers. The uniqueness of this “package” is that when a fire hits a material, charring reaction occurs. In addition, this textile waterproof.

All materials involved in the production of sofa eurocovers are not crumpled, are not deformed, and calmly transfer machine washing with the addition of a small amount of powder. Such features of textiles allow the case to always look great, which is important for every home owner.

Colors

The color palette of sofa accessories covers is multifaceted. Usually, it obeys the particular style chosen: accessories acquire the tone of wallpaper, desk, lampshade table lamp, the color of curtains or other interior items.

Most buyers focus on practicality, so white or cream-white color is not very relevant today. Manufacturers take into account the opinions of customers, offering them a wide range of colors - from a neutral range to rich. The only thing that is unacceptable is the screaming tones: they are not in the rulers, because poisonous paints can destroy any design idea.

Conventionally, the color palette is divided into monochromatic strict shades and more “lively”, patterned. Those people who prefer classic and minimalism choose Eurocovers in light gray, chocolate, blue, sand, lemon, burgundy shades. Popular accessories include models in olive, beige, gray-blue, mint, terracotta colors. Relevant and orange coral, bred coffee tones.

Connoisseurs of textile with a print have their own preferences: often their choice is on accessories made in black and white, beige and gold, maroon and cream, swampy pink, beige and brownish white, lilac and purple and other contrasts.

Choosing a style

As for the style, then eurocovers fit into almost everyone. Today, their choice is wide enough, so emphasize the desired idea or set the tone of the room will not be difficult. And almost always the sofa, packed in a eurocover, looks appropriate. The main thing is to get into style to ensure harmony.

The most concise models quite well fit in classics, minimalism style, hi-tech. The main thing is to make a bet on the color and texture of the material.

If a case is needed for a country house of a country-house format, a product with a not very catchy floral print (country music - as a tribute to folk traditions).

One of the interesting themes of room design is Arabic style. In this case, the cover model is luxurious, complemented by a frill, frill, and is made of color-rich textiles with the addition of gold or silver.

East style somewhat restrained: this case is carried out mainly in the muted tones of the same color, it does not have excess tinsel, although you can put several ducks of different colors and shapes on top of the surface.

Glamorous covers are made in pink shades, appropriate themes of patterns are welcome. And often these covers are complemented by fur sofa cushions of different colors, which emphasizes the style of the mistress of the room.

Interesting accessories successfully complement styles. Neo-baroque, Fusion, Empire, Art Deco. These products look good in the room of a creative person who has his own vision of style. As a rule, in such a design every thing is unique in itself and looks quite harmonious.

The main rule of choice is not to copy a ready-made design idea: you can take it as a basis, but it is important to add something of your own. There is no need to look for the identical eurocover from the picture. You can buy what you like,after all, it is a good personal choice that always gives a lot of pleasant minutes and contributes to the creation of the “native” atmosphere of the room.

How to wear?

The surest way to "dress" a sofa in the eurocover is pair work. In this case, there will be no skewing of the textile; you will be able to tighten it evenly. Conditionally determine the middle of the cover, then stretch each edge to the desired length, covering the surface of the sofa. The procedure is performed on each side, securing the edges with zippers or special buttons. You can pack a sofa alone, but it will take more time and effort.

How to care?

As a protection of the sofa, the eurocover needs proper care. Even with careful operation and rare washing you need to know how to extend its service life. Usually such information is indicated on the label.

As a rule, in the step-by-step instructions the following is written:

  • you need to remove the cover carefully, without sudden movements;
  • washing means one case (separately from other things);
  • intending to put the product in the washing machine, you need to turn it inside out;
  • the mode should be delicate, not exceeding the temperature indicated on the label (30-40 degrees);
  • the use of bleach, softeners, air conditioners is unacceptable;
  • powder should be a little (strictly weight dosage);
  • Drying is carried out in a natural way, you must avoid direct sunlight (so that the product does not burn out in the sun);
  • ironing is excluded (iron deforms the rubber fibers, which will lead to a loss of elasticity and make the overall look sloppy).

Can I do it myself?

Nothing is impossible if you want. Such covers are made not only by the companies themselves: it is within the power of making a professional craftswoman or a regular user, armed with the necessary information, material, and sewing accessories. Moreover, it is often these blankets that keep a unique style in themselves, emphasizing the passion of the housewife and the soul particle invested in the creative process.

The most difficult thing in the manufacture of eurocover on the sofa at home is the purchase of the material itself, because it is difficult to find in the free market. Therefore, craftswomen have to look for textiles long enough. Of course, it is somewhat inferior to the special fabric with rubber threads, but in capable hands it can become a real masterpiece.

When choosing a fabric, it is important to consider its ability to stretch. The purchased material will not fit perfectly, like a eurocover. Therefore, in the course can go knitted fabric. If its density is not enough, the choice of textiles in the store is small, you can buy a stretch. Otherwise, it all depends on the imagination and creative possibilities of the author.
