Do you have covers on your furniture? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 69/100. dianel (4592)2 years ago

If so what kind? I have covers lol, they are old sheets. I put them on there so my cats hair stays off the furniture. Its just me hubby, and cat here so no biggie. I just pull them off when company is coming. What about you do you cover your furniture?

No, I do not cover the furniture. I like to see them. I also have washable fabrics on most. and no pets

Yep, I do. I have off white bath towels on the back headrest of my chairs, matching hand towels on the arms..an off white afghan on the back of my couch with a chocolate colored lap comforter
on the cushion part..lol
Our furniture is tan..so when something becomes dirty, I can just pull off the towels/comforter and throw it in the washing machine.

Soo much easier than trying to stuff my furniture into the washer...lol

Yeah...we have an old lady house..lol..the only thing missing is the doilies on the tables..lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. saigonwarrior (709)  2 years ago

Oh and I would like to add..I have kids.
Boys no less, so the covers aren't coming off until the last one leaves home..lol

But, by then we will be buying new furniture.
When we do, I am not so sure I will cover that.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mommyboo (3332)  1 year ago

Man oh man. I have kids too. The LAST thing I want though is to have ugly furniture just because I have kids. What I really want is some nice leather stuff, and if absolutely necessary, I would toss something over it to protect it for the time it needed protecting and then would take it off when we left the room. I really want to replace the stuff we have now but my husband wants to wait, and I ask him what we are waiting for. LOL! If it's for the kids to grow up, that's a shame.


myLot reputation of 98/100. saigonwarrior (709)  1 year ago

I know, I hate it too. But I do feel once the kids are gone we can buy new and maybe not have to buy anything else to ride out retirement.
My furniture is not ugly, just covered to keep clean. The kids are older now and we have been
contemplating buying new carpeting and furniture
for the living area. They are rarely in the living area anymore.

Yeah, leather would be nice:)
I like white, but I don't live alone..so..lol

When it was just me hubby & cats I would cover my furniture with sheets too!! For the same reason!! If I had company coming over then I would put on clean sheets with nocat hair on them so they didn't get covered in hair....Lori

I do not have any covers on my furniture. I had a couch once that was not very pretty, but oh so comfortable. I put and old sheet on it to cover up the ugly material.

I do the same thing but they aren't old sheets they are fairly new ones... Because where I am renting right now the furniture came with it and they don't look the best so I just cover them and change them every 3 days.. That works for me and yes plus I have cats and dogs too and the last thing is hair all over me cause of them..

I've never thought of doing that but gosh Diane, that is a GREATidea!! I'm constantly using the sticky roller to get the pet hairs off of our furniture and vacuum it every week and it's on going all the time but I love your idea and I think I'll adopt it thumbup ..... when things get a wee bit slower for me to catch up once again. blush


myLot reputation of 69/100. dianel (4592)  2 years ago

Yes cats it works really well. It was my husband who said to put covers on it when we bought the furniture new, and I said all I have is sheets and thats why what I have been doing ever since. How is dad doing?

No, we don't have covers on the furniture. But we need to put some. My 2 yr old daughter draw on the new tan leather couch with an ink pen. Its very hard to get marks of a leather couch. I used some antibacterial hand gel soap to get it off. You can see the marks upclose but not far away. I just cover it with the pillows.


myLot reputation of 69/100. dianel (4592)  2 years ago

Good Idea alexis! I was always nevous to get a leather couch for that very reason. They look nice though.

In the winter I will sometimes drape a small blanket across the back of the couch. This is so it's there for the next person who feels cold.

No I don't cover my furniture as it is leather and the cats tend to sleep on a blanket in the corner of the kitchen anyway or sneak upstairs and hide. Ellie:D

I have one cover, and it was supposed to be tight to cover the piece of furniture it's on. Unfortunately, it isn't really even though it looks okay. I bought it instead of getting a new sofa for now, and it's basically to change the color and cover up ripped cushions, etc. I want a matching cover for my other sofa, but again I'd rather just replace them both when I find something inexpensive yet nice. The nice thing about the cover is it keeps the cushions from coming up and working their way off. I would prefer a sofa with attached cushions that don't come off because my kids are rough on it and I'm tired of having to shove them back on.
