How to fix a cover on a sofa

• When you put on the eurocover and all the corners match, the material must be spread with your palms over the entire surface.
• The upper and lower sides of the bedspread are independently secured to the sofa structure using an elastic band.
• In some places, voids form between the cover, walls and seat. In order to get rid of these troubles, special clamps are used. They must be inserted between: the back and the seat, the seat and the armrests, the armrests and the back.

• When inserting the locking device, push the cover fabric as far inside as possible. This way the blanket will not slip out and there will be good tension. Accordingly, it will be possible to create an aesthetic appearance.

• Models of furniture covers with and without armrests differ significantly from each other. So pay attention to this!
• The fabrics used in the production of bedspreads have common parameters. They are easy to wash, dry quickly and restore their original shape.
• Once you decide on the type of coverage, proceed to the following steps. Measure the length of the sofa structure along the back, do not take the armrests into account. The size on the product tag will correspond to the length of the back. If you don’t have a tape measure, you can determine the size by eye.
• Estimate how many people the seat can accommodate. The number of people will be equal to the size written on the tag.
• When choosing a Eurocover, consider the interior of your apartment. The color, pattern, texture of the bedspread should be harmoniously combined with the design of the home.
• Large corner upholstered furniture looks advantageous with plain but textured covers.
• In small rooms, small-sized sofas are more suitable in colors with small patterns.
