Holiday Slipcovers - Decorate More Than Your Tree This Season
Posted by Brad | Filed under Christmas, Thanksgiving, slipcovers
I have to admit this is my favorite time of year. There's nothing better than the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Parades, parties and getting together with family. One thing I always look forward to is putting up the holiday decorations. It's even more special now that I have kids.
September through the end of the year is the busiest time at Carrington Court. Everyone's ordering new furniture in time for the inevitable get-togethers that happen in November and December. It is essentially a part of the holiday decorating process. Let's face it--these holidays are focused around eating, so your dining room will be the one place that receives the most attention from family and friends. We put a lot of thought into ways that we could make your dining experience more festive and we came up with a line of holiday specific slipcovers.
Nicholas Holiday Slipcover
Slipcovers turn out to be a very good fit (no pun intended) for this time of year. First of all, they allow you to give your dining room a more festive look without being stuck with it year round. You put them on in November and take them off in January. Slipcovers also offer protection to the chairs underneath. Cranberries and gravy tend to be less ominous when in the worst case scenario you end up replacing a slipcover rather than an entire chair. Finally, slipcovers are an option for those who purchased chairs in the past that are still perfectly good but would like to change up the look.
This Christmas we are offering two very similar styles with one major difference. Both slipcovers have a simple, pleated skirt and are offered in a festive red fabric with gold accents. The only difference: the Noel Slipcover features a screen printed wreath on the back and the Nicholas Slipcover does not.
These slipcovers are available for most side chairs in our line. We are excited about offering something especially for the holidays. In the future we are considering adding more seasonal pieces throughout the year, so keep an eye on this space for more announcements. As always, if you have any questions about purchasing slipcovers, feel free to call us (828.396.1049) or send email to info@carringtoncourtdirect.com.
Happy Holidays!
Slipcovers - Change the Look of Your Dining Room Without Spending a Lot of Money
Posted by Brad | Filed under news, tips, slipcovers
The holidays are coming up and I know many of you would like to redecorate before having friends and family over. Of course this is easier said than done, especially during a recession. Even if you have the money you may be reluctant to part with it.
We think we have a solution that will allow you to dramatically alter the look of your dining and parsons chairs without costing you a fortune. What am I talking about? Slipcovers. We have added five new slipcover styles to our line and there are more to come.
At the very least, a slipcover allows you to change the look of a chair by permitting you to change the fabric without going to the expense of buying an entirely new chair. Slipcovers can also dramatically change the look of a chair. For example you might go from unskirted to skirted. You may want to have one color on your chairs for fall and winter and then take the slipcover off for spring and summer. A slipcover offers a lot of flexibility and since they are relatively affordable, you can get multiple sets to change the look as often as you like.
Slipcovers may not be for everyone. Although they are tailored to the chairs we offer, you won't get the crisp look of an upholstered chair. However, I have to admit they can really come in handy. My family uses slipcovers in our breakfast room. With two cats and two children they are more of a shield than anything else. If we get food or cat hair on them, we can just take them off for a cleaning. And when company comes, we take off the slipcovers and have pristine chairs to display for those special occasions.
