White Sheets

The white sheet is preferred to dress up the couched sofas as it looks not only soothing to the eyes but makes everything around visible as well. Besides, being economical, the white sheet can be afforded easily by anyone else. It is it’s eye-catching whiteness and affordability which encourages large number of house owners to use it as the shabby chic slipcovers. A brusque white sheet provides plenty of clothes to be used as the shabby chic or dilapidated slipcovers in renovating obsolete beauty of sofas or couched furniture. The white sheets can easily be used in wrapping or swathing the sofas as the effective slipcovers. It is up to you to decide how to cut the white sheet into different pieces and thereafter stitch them together to create completely decent slipcovers if you want to bestow an elegant look to your entire room decorating the sofas. Let me suggest you something remarkable over here. Though you can use the used white sheets of your house, if it is unavailable at home, purchasing is the only option you will be left with. As the white sheets are not to be used as the bed-sheets, you should not spend a huge amount of money on the costly white sheets.

White Quilt

You can use white quilt as well for the shabby chic slipcovers provided you’ve dark color printed sofas. I recommend the house owners to cover their dark color sofas with the white color quilts, used as scruffy chic slipcovers. What makes the white quilt a most versatile material to be used in making the chic slipcovers is it’s hiding even the lightly visible dark patterns of the printed sofas which a common white fabric sheet can’t accomplish as successfully as required. It’s not that you should use only a used quilt as the market quilt also are to serve your purpose competently provided your pocket allows you to go for that. 

Getting you acquainted with a most beautiful white bedspread or quilt you can move ahead in meeting your purpose by pinning it over the couched sofa using some safety pins. Those who are not efficient enough in cutting and sewing the white quilts prepare the slipcovers by pinning them over the sofas as the worn stylish slipcover.There is another option also, that is, simply covering the sofa with a white quilt. Just drape the couched sofa with a white quilt. Being a cinch, draping the sofa with the white quilt provides a most elegant and stylish look to the old couched furniture. If you notice any filth over the quilt-made slipcovers, just remove the pins and wash the slipcovers to drape your sofas again.  

Translucent Curtains

You must be thinking now in your mind why to go for translucent, sheer or thin curtains when the white sheet itself was not found appropriate to be used as a slipcover over the dark printed sofas. The sheer curtain actually does not conceal the dark shades or prints of sofas, it serves as a thin film making the underneath prints of the sofa lightly visible with a desired shade of color like pink or sky blue. Though the sheer curtains, white sheets or quilts are to serve your purpose as the shabby chic slipcovers, it is up to you to decide which one of them to use so as to change the obsolete look of the interior to boast of your drawing room.
