The advantages of recliner slip covers go beyond simply giving a chair a new
appearance. They also can determine how well a recliner goes with the room. Since
we only judge things by our perceptions, using certain design tricks can fool those
perceptions to alter the apparent weight of furniture. And when you get recliner slip
covers, an important consideration is how the chair's apparent weight fits the room.
Color
A light color object seems to weigh less than a dark one, so to make a chair seem less
heavy, choose light color recliner slip covers. And the cooler colors on the
blue part of the spectrum, also make an object seem lighter.
Contrast
Often a piece of furniture has its apparent weight emphasized due to its color or
pattern contrasting with its surroundings. So, another way to tone down the weight of
a recliner, is to use recliner slip covers that cause it to blend into the background.
Surface
The texture of an object also contributes to its perceived weight. Smooth surfaces
seem lighter than rough surfaces. Which means if you wanted a recliner to present an
even stronger appearance, recliner slip covers using a tweed fabric would work better
than a smooth plain cotton.
Pattern
Some of the same tricks that work for wearing clothes to flatter figures, can also
work for furniture slip covers. It's well known that stripes on clothes can make you
look either slimmer or fatter. And since most of us prefer to look thinner, more
clothes have vertical stripes instead of horizontal stripes. And if you want to make
a recliner look thinner, recliner slip covers with vertical stripes can achieve the
same results.
If you just want something to cover your chair, any recliner slip covers will do.
But if you also want it to be a natural fit to the room, keep an eye on the effect these
design elements can have. And when you want ready-made slip covers, whether slip covers
