The type of euro cover depends on the model of the sofa. There are three categories of coatings: on straight, corner and island sofas. In each case, the product is different from other options. If for a straight model the case is symmetrical and is called universal, in the corner it is worth keeping in mind the direction of the corner side, otherwise the accessory will not fit the sofa. Corner models are divided into right-handed and left-handed.

When buying a European cover, the shape of the additional parts of the sofa matters.

The style for a corner sofa without armrests, with a ledge, ottoman is different. It can be classic, with a skirt, for a standard size, 2, 3-seater sofa. In some models, the product is voluminous.

There is a certain size scale for each type of sofa.

Even if the sellers assure that the product is dimensionless, this is not entirely true: the dimensions of a compact sofa and a spacious analogue can vary greatly. Textiles, although they stretch, are not dimensionless. By stretching too much, it can lose its elasticity very quickly.

Sizes of straight sofas range from 120 to 160 cm (double models) and 160-250 cm (triple). Corner structures differ in total length - up to 5.5 m. Knowing the size of the sofa, it will not be difficult to choose the right size of the euro cover.

When buying an accessory for a corner model, look from the front, marking the correct side of the corner.

In the production of such products, various textiles are used. It differs in texture, can be smooth or embossed, containing natural and artificial fibers.

In total, about 10 types of fabric are used for such bedspreads. The list of quality materials for sofa covers includes:

• Microfiber - a synthetic material with high elasticity, having a good density of weaving of fibers and the softness of chinilla, capable of taking any given shape without the formation of folds, creases (looks like suede, but more dense).

• Polyester - synthetic material with excellent practical properties, abrasion-resistant, non-pilling, excellent shape holding.

• Jacquard - 80% cotton material with the "anti-claw" effect, the addition of elastic threads, preventing the loss of shape, volume, perfectly retaining its properties and having a characteristic feature in the form of a pattern with a three-dimensional effect.

• Shinill - lightweight and soft textiles with high practical performance, not inferior in quality to dense and heavy counterparts.It is a noble material characterized by a plush front surface.

• Pleated - smooth fabric, quite soft and pleasant to the touch, made of cotton and polyester, easy to clean. It stretches perfectly in any direction, especially in demand for the design of straight type sofas.

• Jersey - one of the best types of materials for European covers, has an incredibly soft texture of medium density, pleasant and comfortable to the touch, strong enough and resistant to machine washing.

An elastic fire-resistant material with a self-extinguishing effect is also used as textiles for Eurocovers. The uniqueness of this "packaging" is that when a fire hits the material, a carbonization reaction occurs. In addition, this textile waterproof.

The color palette of sofa accessories-covers is multifaceted. Usually it obeys a specific style chosen: accessories are purchased to match the tone of the wallpaper, desk, table lamp shade, the color of curtains or other interior items.

Most buyers are focused on practicality, so white or creamy white is not very relevant today. Manufacturers take into account the opinions of buyers, offering them a wide range of shades - from neutral to rich. The only thing that is unacceptable is flashy tones: they are not in the lines, because poisonous paints can destroy any design idea.

Conventionally, the color palette is divided into monochromatic strict shades and more "lively" patterned ones. Those people who prefer classics and minimalism choose euro covers in light gray, chocolate, blue, sand, lemon, burgundy shades. Popular accessories include models in olive, beige, gray-blue, mint, terracotta flowers. Relevant and orange, coral, diluted coffee tones.

Connoisseurs of printed textiles have their own preferences: often their choice stops on accessories made in black-and-white, beige-gold, burgundy-cream, marsh pink, beige-brown-white, lilac-purple and other contrasts.

As for the style, the euro covers fit into almost everyone. Today, their choice is wide enough, so it will not be difficult to emphasize the desired idea or set the tone of the room. Moreover, almost always, a sofa packed in a Euro cover looks appropriate. The main thing is to get into the style to ensure harmony.

The most laconic models fit quite well in the classics, minimalism style, hi-tech. The main thing is to bet on the color and texture of the material.

If a cover is needed for a country house of a summer cottage format, a product with a not very catchy print of a plant theme (country - as a tribute to folk traditions).

One of the interesting themes of room design is arabic style. In this case, the model of the cover is luxurious, complemented by frills, flounces, made of textiles rich in color with the addition of gold or silver.

East style somewhat restrained: such a cover is made mainly in muted tones of the same color, does not have unnecessary tinsel, although you can put several pieces of different colors and shapes on top of the surface.

Glamorous covers are made in shades of pink, matching pattern themes are welcome. Moreover, such covers are often complemented by fur cushions of different tones, which emphasizes the style of the hostess of the room.

Interesting accessories complement the styles neo-baroque, fusion, empire, art deco... These products look good in the room of a creative person who has his own vision of style.As a rule, in such a design, each item is unique in itself and looks quite harmonious.

The main rule of choice is not to copy a ready-made design idea: you can take it as a basis, but it is important to add something of your own. There is no need to look for an identical euro cover from the picture. You can buy what you like, because it is a successful personal choice that always gives a lot of pleasant minutes and contributes to the creation of a "native" atmosphere of the room.

The surest way to "dress" a sofa in a Euro cover is a pair work. In this case, there will be no skewing of the textiles, you will be able to pull it evenly. The middle of the cover is conventionally determined, then each edge is stretched to the desired length, covering the surface of the sofa. The procedure is performed on each side, securing the edges with zippers or special buttons. It is possible to pack the sofa alone, but this will take more time and effort.

As a sofa protection, the Euro cover needs proper care. Even with careful use and rare washings, you need to know how to extend its service life. Typically, this information is indicated on the label.

As a rule, the following is written in the step-by-step instructions:

• you need to remove the cover carefully, without sudden movements;
• washing means one cover (separately from other things);
• if you are going to put the product in the washing machine, you need to turn it inside out;
• the regime should be delicate, not exceeding the temperature indicated on the label (30-40 degrees);
• use of bleaches, softeners, conditioners is unacceptable;
• there should be a little powder (strictly weight dosage);
• drying is carried out in a natural way, direct sunlight must be avoided (so that the product does not burn out in the sun);
• ironing is excluded (the iron deforms the rubber fibers, which will lead to a loss of elasticity and make the overall look of the cover untidy).

Nothing is impossible if you want to. Such covers are made not only by the companies themselves: this can be done by a professional craftswoman or an ordinary user, armed with the necessary information, material, sewing accessories. Moreover, it is often these bedspreads that keep in themselves a unique style, emphasizing the hobby of the hostess of the house and a particle of the soul invested in the creative process.

The most difficult thing in making a sofa cover for a sofa at home is buying the material itself, because it is difficult to find it on the free sale. Therefore, craftswomen have to look for textiles for a long time. Of course, it is somewhat inferior to a special fabric with rubber threads, but in skillful hands it can become a real masterpiece.

When choosing a fabric, it is important to consider its stretch ability. The purchased material will not fit perfectly, like a euro cover. Therefore, a knitted fabric can be used. If its density is not enough, the choice of textiles in the store is small, you can purchase a stretch. Otherwise, it all depends on the imagination and creative capabilities of the author.
