Existing models of fashionable capes on upholstered furniture are diverse. They can be classic and simple, differ in the complexity of the design and have additional functionality, and all this will affect the appearance of the kit. They are made on all three types of sofas (straight, corner or island).

Conventionally, they can be divided into several categories:

• universalsuitable for any sofa and armchairs (in the form of simple canvases of square, oval or rectangular shape, which are not fixed, but superimposed on the surface of the seats and backs);

The size of fashionable capes on the sofa and chairs depend on the furniture itself and how exactly they will be located on it. In some cases, these are simple seat covers, in others - separate or merged options for the entire area of ​​furniture.

Some designs are designed not only for folded, but also unfolded furniture. For example, you can pick up enough wide capes on a double sofa: this will give a transformable model bed a neat look. Bed covers are small, medium (standard) in size and large, resembling a rug or a thin blanket hanging from the sides of the sofa and chairs. Therefore, the size of capes can be universal or non-standard.

On average, fragmentary capes on a sofa can be 50 x 160 cm. Fur blankets have a larger area: their parameters are 150 x 190, 180 x 200, 200 x 240, 220 x 210 cm.

Cushions on sofas with armrests are also varied. Depending on the dimensions of the sofa, their dimensions are 140 x 190, 150 x 190, 160 x 190, 260 x 150, 280 x 155, 280 x 170 cm.

Capes on chairs are large (160 x 150, 180 x 150, 180 x155, 160 x 210 cm) and compact (65 x 150, 55 - 160 cm).

The choice of fashionable capes should take into account a number of nuances. To properly get into the theme of design, you need to decide on the color. Ugly, if the color of capes will be the only one that does not repeat in the interior.

You should not repeat the shade of upholstered furniture: so the capes will lose their individuality, they will make the sofa and chairs an incomprehensible stain in the design of the room, and they themselves will be lost against the general background.

You can not buy too catchy and poisonous options kit: they can quickly get bored and after a month will start to annoy. Such accents should be soft and appropriate, made in the same tone with any object of the interior room. Properly selected color will allow to enter any design into the design. At the same time, the most important thing to consider is the overlapping of a shade with interior items.

One of the most popular shades of capes are neutral. White kits are not suitable for use because of their impracticality. Beige, honey, olive and terracotta colors are favorites of the season.

• acrylic;
• furniture tapestry;
• jacquard;
• velor;
• microfibers;
• sheepskin;
• furs;
• shinilla;
• Jersey;
• carpet carpet.

Fur and carpet covers are unique. In addition to the decoration of upholstered furniture, they are warm, therefore, are particularly relevant in the cold period. Tapestry, velor, acrylic capes and microfiber options are durable, perfectly washable, non-slip and have a long service life.

• Beautiful options come into fashion with lace trim. These kits are fragments for seats and backs, decorated with lace along the edges.
• In addition to them, one of the trends that are popular with needlewomen are knitted capes with an openwork pattern. Such products are elastic, allow to cover every piece of furniture up to the individual blocks of the seat.
