Not Your Grandmama’s Slipcovers! 13 Stylish Ways to Fashion Your Couch and Sofa

If you have kids or pets, you already know what it’s like to live in constant paranoia thinking one spill or scratch will ruin your furniture. Slipcovers are a great way to protect your couch and chairs from pet hair, crayon stains, or even an occasional spilled glass of wine (yes, grownups make messes too!).

The idea of a slipcover may take you back to your grandmother’s plastic. But trust us, they’ve come a long way. There are lots of colors, styles and fabrics that are fashionable and machine washable.
