We are trying to decide if we should just buy some slip covers for some nice and comfortable couch and loveseat pair. The only problem is they're blue. Or, if we should just go buy a new sofa and maybe an over-sized matching chair. Which is better and why?

Buying the slipcovers will cost you a whole lot less than the new furniture. Probably the best slipcovers are the 2 piece Surefit brand. They're made of a stretchy material and don't "come up" when you get off of the sofa. You can go on line to surefit.com but here in our area (Mass/RI) we have JobLots that practically always have them for a fraction of what the manufacturer sells them for.

I love slipcovers! You can completely change the look and feel of a room for $100!
It's something to consider, especially since you already have a couch that's comfy and fits well in the room. Have you ever bought a new couch, gotten it home and found it not as comfy as the sample at the store? Then it's too late!
My slipcovers get changed with the season. Pale cream cotton for summer, warm burgundy corduroy for winter, a pretty floral for spring.
If you have slipcovers you also won't worry so much about kids putting their feet up or pets that just can't pass up a warm couch!

Sadly, slipcovers are only a few dollars less than new furniture. You have to really be in love with your existing stuff to want to recover it and most slipcovers are designed for generic use and don't look right in the final analysis. If I lived near a furniture reupholsterer, I'd let them have at my couch and chair so I could choose the fabric myself and because I really like the pieces. Since I don't, I'm shopping for new and trying to find the right combination of comfort, good construction and value. My only real advice is, make the search process fun rather than a chore. Give your old furniture to a charitable organization that would like it and take a tax credit.

When you look at pictures of slipcover know that your furniture is not going to look like that unless no one ever sits on it. Slipcovers pull out and have to be constantly tucked back in. Another opinion is having your loveseat and couch reupholstered. You could choose your own fabric and it will still be cheaper than new furniture.

Sillones para cualquiera edad y gustos es lo que ofrece amazon, un excelente sillón es siempre bienvenido en cualquier casa, para niños es una verdaderamente placer tener su proprio sillón así que le he comprado a mi hija un sillón exactamente a su gusto porque en los sitios web siempre encuentro lo que busco, el sillón le encanta mucho, es con sus dibujos favoritos, y aunque es hinchable está bastante seguro y mas, su mayor alegría es que lo puede coger con ella en cualquier lugar, una excelente compra a un precio excelente

If you can not afford new furniture then slip covers are ideal.
