Varieties
All existing models of the products in question are divided into two categories, each of which has its own distinctive characteristics.
Cape
Such models are chosen based on the style in which the room is decorated. The cover-cape should be combined with other decorative elements: curtains, carpets, textiles. To maintain an attractive appearance, it is necessary to periodically clean the cape with a vacuum cleaner. A similar procedure is recommended twice a year. It will not work to clean a fur cape at home, so such models will have to be dry-cleaned.
If acrylic is used as a material of manufacture, then such a cape does not need special care. In the case of careful treatment and periodic maintenance, the chair cover from Ikea will last a long time, retaining its original color, shape and properties.
Eurocovers
Models of this type are tension boots. They are versatile, so they can be used for different chair models. Thanks to the elastic material, the covers effectively protect the upholstery of the chair from dirt and mechanical stress. Some models have additional protection against animal claws. All tension models of the Ikea brand have an attractive appearance, because high-quality materials are used for their manufacture. The manufacturer offers covers in solid colors or with patterns in various styles.
Their only drawback is their high cost.
