When scanning through page after page of couch cover choices, it can seem overwhelming to determine how to find that special one that is going to snugly embrace your favorite furniture. Imagine your disappointment after making your cover choice, waiting for it to arrive, and then finding that is just doesn't fit your furniture. Follow the simple tips below and make sure you order the cover that best fits your furniture.

As they say in carpentry, measure twice, cut once. The slip cover equivalent of this edict is that you need to carefully measure your couch in two areas, length and height. Your sofa is usually tallest at the back and that is where you want to measure for height. Then measure your sofa's length.

Once you have accurate measurements, if you find that your couch measurements are in between two size ranges of covers, opt for ordering the larger size. The smaller size cover may not quite span and cover your furniture and you certainly do not want to have to pay to return your cover and wait again for the proper size to arrive.

Stretchable couch covers are a different type of covering animal. A stretchy cover actually may work better if it is a bit smaller than the sofa or loveseat you want to cover. Because most memory stretch covers have spandex in their fabric blend, they have far more give when applying the cover to the furniture piece. This material choice also adheres more to the original furniture upholstery, providing a tighter fit overall. Remember this only applies to covers with stretchable material and elastic grips.

Sectional couches are now fair game for slip covering, a choice that really did not exist several years ago. Most companies that make covers now offer several different choices for sectional furniture. For the best fit, measure each piece of the sectional sofa separately. The perfect fit is not impossible to find. Simply spend a little extra time measuring and reap the benefits of furniture that looks as good as or better than new.

Interior Decorating Ideas You Can Do - And Afford - This Winter Season

!±8± Interior Decorating Ideas You Can Do - And Afford - This Winter Season

Times are tough. Many of us have to really cut back on our spending this year! Does that mean we'll have to give up on the idea of a remodel or any interior decorating ideas? Is it possible to change the look of our homes with little to no money? Well... no and yes. No matter what shape your home or finances are in, there are lots of things you can do to transform and energize every room.

You must carefully weigh your lifestyle, your wants and your available time with your budget, however. If your budget is near zero, it actually makes it a little easier, meaning your options are fewer. Its a good thing. For instance, if you have been thinking about doing something with your living room and are stressed out because you can't really afford a those interior decorating ideas or makeover plans before friends and relatives come for Christmas, consider perusing a few thrift stores and estate sales this weekend. Find some inexpensive accent pieces (wild prints, colorful art prints, an unusual lamp) and bring your new finds home.

Go to a big box retailer and look in the paint department. Many times there are gallons of returned paint for sale for ten dollars or less. These were the wrong color or semi gloss instead of satin or whatever and the customer simply returned them. Here's where you step slightly out of your comfort zone and take the plunge (for or so)! Try and find something that compliments your new find from that estate sale. You're going to paint one wall of your living room with that paint.

Remember the "60-30-10 Rule" when you're implementing your remodeling or interior decorating ideas. This means 60% primary color (usually light or neutrals) 30% secondary color and 10% accent. If the room is okay paint-wise, you'll use that for the primary color. Your paint should work for your secondary and your "new finds" make up the 10%. Simply zapping a wall with a shot of wild color and adding a few accents will make a world of difference! Rearrange the furniture. Might as well, as you had to move it or take most of it to another room to paint anyway.

Take a look at the furniture. Could swapping some with something from the family room or a bedroom change things? Would a slipcover work for you? Renting a rug cleaner with a furniture attachment could absolutely work wonders, and if you've removed everything to paint, why not? By the way, you don't have to bring EVERYTHING back in to the room, you know. The professional decorators will tell you that "less is more" in interior decorating.

Your bedroom is similar. It may not get the traffic the living room and family room get, but its your most private place, and therefore the most important. The good news is that you can buy a bedspread or comforter, match or compliment that with the curtains or drapes and you're almost done! Headboard, foot, dresser and night stands can all simply be painted. Also, if you rearrange so that you can eek out a private corner, with a table, lamp and small comfortable chair (taken from the living room or family room, perhaps), you can create a room that will truly be your sanctuary.

Curtains are the creative mind's dream. The big boxes have dozens of styles and designs for cheap. Fabric stores are always closing out fabrics and even thrift stores have drapes and curtains. Ironing a hem along the top and bottom edge of a length of raw fabric and snapping in shower curtain hooks (nice ones) will transform the bedroom. On a double curtain rod overlaying a print that compliments (in your mind) your bedspread over a dark solid fabric will give the window an upscale look and afford you an elegant privacy.
