Raise your hand if you don’t have a crappy couch or chair you can’t afford to get rid of? No hands up? Everyone has that less-than-desirable piece of furniture that you can’t afford to ditch — but it makes you cringe every time you look at it. An affordable slipcover would be the right next step for you, if only you could find one that wasn’t super blah.

The big challenge with slipcovers is that they’re either more expensive than buying new furniture or they’re just boring. Sure, you could pick up a cheap slipcover at Walmart, but the options there are very utilitarian. They serve the purpose of covering up your old chair or cheap couch, but they don’t meet your style needs. And that doesn’t work, so you end up settling for the old, overused couch because you don’t want to buy a new one.

I get it, because I’ve been there. No worries, because I found a selection of cute and affordable slipcovers that’ll make you smile when you walk in the door.

Affordable Slipcovers That Look Cute Too

More Slipcover Strategies

Ok, yes, most affordable slipcovers come in solid colors. But solid colors aren’t necessarily boring — look for options with texture and depth. Chances are, that cover is going to look a lot more interesting in your living room than it looks in a stale product shot.
