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).

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;

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

• 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).

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.
