It is quite difficult to imagine an apartment or house without upholstered furniture. But over time, any material used as upholstery loses its attractiveness. The presence of pets, children's pranks, or simply accidentally spilled coffee can help speed up the process. There are many ways to restore the attractiveness of a piece of furniture. But, using the recently introduced European covers, it became possible to easily and quickly restore the appearance of furniture and preserve it for a long time.
Euro-covers for a corner sofa
How to put a Euro-cover on a corner sofa
Elastic fabrics are used to sew covers. This makes it easy to make adjustments. You can put a Euro-cover on a corner sofa in several stages:
- Move the sofa away from the wall. Spread the material on the floor.
- Pull the cover gradually. You should start from the top.
- Spread the fabric over the surface. Give it the shape of a sofa and carry out additional fastening.
- Elimination of folds and irregularities.
The technology is simple. Actions should be performed slowly, carefully and correctly.
How to sew a case at home
A purchased sample costs more than one sewn with your own hands at home. The hostess must have experience in this field. This will allow you to get a stylish and modern model of the case.
Choice of shape and size
With its help, it is possible to give new life to old furniture. Manufacturers offer a wide range of products. They vary in shape and size.

There are models that completely cover the furniture
You can also opt for a partial option. It is important to accurately reproduce the size. Avoid sagging and wrinkles.
What fabric to make a cover from?
Its service life depends on the quality and density of the material. What fabric is best to make a cape from? A cover for a corner sofa, armchair or book sofa can be made from the following materials:
- Jacquard - it is characterized by a three-dimensional pattern and dense structure;
- Shinila - this type is distinguished by its noble colors and the presence of an original ornament;
- Pleated - has a corrugated structure;
- Microfiber - used when it is necessary to sew a comfortable and warm cover;
- Jersey - will last a long time and decorate upholstered furniture with an elegant, smooth structure
In addition, eurocovers can also be made from fire-resistant fabric, which is more important for public spaces than for the home.

DIY Tools
The simplest version of the cover has many features similar to the cape. The product completely covers not only the backrest and seating area, but also the armrests. They will have to be sewn separately. To perform the planned manipulations you will need:
Small sewing accessories will help make the task of sewing easier.
- Matter.
- Tape measure.
- Chalk for basting.
- Pins.
- Threads.
- Scissors.
- Pattern.
Pattern
Using a measuring tape, all parts of the sofa are measured. Based on the data obtained, a sketch is created on paper in a reduced form, and then a pattern is formed. The stages are as follows:
- Iron the fabric. When cutting, add a few centimeters for shrinkage.
- The fabric is folded right side inward.
- Transferring the pattern onto the fabric taking into account the turning line. Add 1.5 cm to the seam.
- Cut out the resulting sample.
Don't forget about seam and trim allowances
Sewing
After the manipulations have been completed, you can proceed to sewing. Actions are carried out according to this scheme:
- Baste the cut out sample with rare small stitches;
- Try on the result.
If the resulting option is suitable, then you will need to grind each seam. Additionally, you will need to bend and sweep all the edges of the product. On average, the work will take a little over an hour. Difficulties may arise at the stitching stage if the material is smooth and constantly floating. At the first stage, the cover is sewn together, and then work is carried out with the armrests. Such simple manipulations allow you to get a high-quality cape in a short period of time.
Oversized cover for a corner sofa with elastic
If the product is already ready, then it can also be decorated with various decorative elements. You can use ribbons and pockets for this. The main thing is not to limit your imagination and add various decorative elements. After the process is completed, put the cover on the sofa. It has a simple structure and is inexpensive. However, using this method it is possible to quickly and easily update the interior of a room.
Furniture quickly loses the visual appeal of its upholstery during use. Buying a new one is expensive. The housewife can sew the cover herself. The cutting process is simple. Getting new skins will require you to spend a small amount of money and time. No need to buy special tools. They are guaranteed to already be in your craft box.
Using a simple pattern, you can sew a cover for a sofa or couch yourself. It may also need to be replaced in case of repairs. For example, if the old furniture turns out to be unsuitable for the new design of the walls, ceiling or floor.
Types of cases
Sofa covers today are presented in a large number of options. If the ready-made model offered in the store does not suit the buyer, he can always place an order for the production of an individual case taking into account his wishes. Of course, such products will cost much more, and on top of that, before ordering you will have to find out the exact dimensions of the sofa. Sofa covers can be classified into several groups:
- tailor-made;
- sofa covers with elastic;
- fragmentary covers for individual parts of the sofa with “sticky” locks;
- eurocovers.
How to put on covers correctly
December 18, 2016
This review with video instructions will tell you how to put seat covers on correctly and quickly.
In the video, an Avtoprofi expert will show and teach how to correctly and quickly put on seat covers with a separate fitting pattern on car seats.
For those in a hurry, here are brief step-by-step instructions for installing covers on the rear and front rows. But we recommend watching the video anyway – it’s interesting.
Installing covers on the front seats
It is better to remove the seats - this way the tension will be as tight as possible and without wrinkles.
If the covers have a separate putting on pattern, then first put the cover on the chair cushion.
- Put on the cover;
- Tuck the tongue between the pillow and the backrest;
- Spread the material around the entire perimeter.
- We first fix it with long thin elastic bands - we put them under the seat, stretch them and tie them together.
- We finally fix the lower part of the cover using installation rubber bands with hooks at the bottom of the seat.
car owners were advised to purchase a strong nylon cord from a fishing store and sew it to the covers instead of ribbons. With the Avtoprofi models, such efforts are not required: all models are pre-installed with wide stitched elastic bands with stainless steel hooks.
- The tongue of the upper half of the cover also fits between the pillow and the back.
- Then the fabric of the cover should be pulled down with a slight movement and smoothed so as to pull the material down as much as possible, towards the tongue.
- The cover is pulled over a tongue on the back of the chair, like leather on a drum.
- With maximum tightening, the front part of the cover is literally imprinted into the shape of the chair.
- The tongue is inserted under the back of the cover and secured with Velcro.
A little trick: holes for the headrest rods in the cover can be made using a screwdriver or... A regular cigarette!
Installing car covers on the rear row
Now you need to install the covers on the back row of the car. We remove the pillows and the backrest. Leave the back in place.
The donning pattern here is exactly the same as with the first row:
- On the back of the rear seat, you need to remove the seat belts, if present, and then fold the backrest.
- The cover consists of two halves and is positioned so that its zippers coincide with the fault lines of the back.
- Once put on, the zippers are closed and the two separate halves of the cover become one.
The rear covers are secured to the backs of the chair using elastic bands and hooks (everything is included in the kit).
On headrests, the covers are placed on top and secured with elastic bands.

ROUND SEAT “MAGIC FLOWER” This product can rightfully be considered a real work of art that will decorate any, even the most ordinary-looking stool. At the same time, this round seat is quite simple to make; you only need a little attention when calculating and knitting the loops.
Necessary materials and equipment
- thin acrylic yarn: several skeins of white and one skein of colored thread (depending on the diameter of the seat and the thickness of the threads, 12-16 different colors may be needed);
- hook No. 2.5-No. 3
Operating procedure
The knitting pattern for the product is simple: first, a round base is knitted, on which convex decorative elements in the form of petals are then formed.
From a white working thread we form a sliding ring (or the so-called amigurumi loop) and tie it with 12 single crochets. Then carefully tighten the thread to obtain a round piece without a hole in the center. We continue to knit the product in a circle until the required diameter is reached. In each row there should be free half-loops on which the decorative elements of the seat will be attached. To do this, insert the hook into the back loop of the stitches of the previous row each time.
We begin to knit the petals of the future flower from the center. To do this, use a hook to attach a thread of the selected color to the first row of half-loops and tie it with single crochets, forming 4 arches of 5 air loops as you knit.
In the second row we tie each arch according to the pattern: 1 double crochet between the arches, then 4 double crochets on one side of the arch, 2 chain stitches, 5 double crochets on the other side of the arch. You should get a flower with four embossed petals.
We knit the second and all subsequent rows with threads of a different color, similar to the first row, hooking the hook onto the half-loops in the round base. The arches themselves and their trim in each row remain unchanged, and the number of columns between them increases in accordance with the diameter of the circle. So, in the first row 2 stitches are knitted between the arches, in the second – 3, etc.
The petals of each subsequent row should peek out from under the petals of the previous row. The result should be a very impressive convex flower-shaped pattern. When the entire surface of the product is filled with decorative petals, you can begin tying the seat. To do this, we knit several rows with single crochets around the perimeter of the circle, forming the sides, after which we make uniform decreases over 2-3 rows so that the seat stays well on the stool.
“Magic Flower” is ready!
Additional tips:
- The tighter the material adheres to the case, the longer they will last. Therefore, it is better to take the time to remove the seats before installation.
- If the seats have built-in side airbags, then choose the appropriate cover models.
- The unraveling seam must be placed on the side where the Airbag pillow is located.
- Remove the seats. At least the front row. The quality of planting will be higher, and it will take less time. Removing the seats is quite simple: turn off the electrics and unscrew the mounting bolts of the slide.
- Be sure to turn off the ignition before removing the seats and rear sofa!
- There is no need to remove the plastic on the sides of the seats. In principle, it is not suitable for removal and returning it to its place can be problematic. To better push the cover fabric between the seat and the plastic, it is good to use a smooth metal plate (about the same as what doctors use to examine the throat).
- Squeeze the seat upholstery while pulling the cover. This will make it easier to install the covers without damaging the fabric around the seams.
- It’s unlikely that anyone is going to install seat covers in the cold, but just in case, it’s worth pointing out that it’s best to install protective coverings at above-zero temperatures. Especially if the covers are made of natural or artificial leather (eco leather). These materials “tan” and lose elasticity at low temperatures, so if you don’t have a warm garage, then summer is the best season to install covers.
How to choose a sofa cover?
Although sofa covers are versatile and suitable for any upholstered furniture, there are still a number of parameters that should be taken into account when choosing them.
Material
First, you must decide what material the case will be made of. To do this, you will have to take into account many different factors - do you live alone or with your family, do you have pets in the house. Today, manufacturers can satisfy the needs of every customer and offer a wide variety of furniture covers.
For your sofa, you can order or buy a ready-made cover from the following materials:
- Relax and jacquard. The most practical option. Their main advantage is maximum strength and durability. These materials are highly rigid, do not form pills, are resistant to fading, are easy to care for and wash, and do not create difficulties in removing dirt.
- Tapestry. It can be considered as an alternative to jacquard and relaxation. It is no less durable and is perfect as an upholstery material. Has an attractive appearance.
- Flock and velor. Covers made from these materials have properties that are pleasant to the touch. However, keep in mind that they will not serve you for long and will very soon lose their attractiveness. Especially if you wash them too often.
- Alcantara. It looks like nubuck and can be considered as one of the material options for making a cover for a couch. The material itself is quite practical, since it is very easy to care for. Typically, car seats are made from this material.
- Leather. Covers made from this fabric for sofa covers are quite expensive. Its main advantages are naturalness and durability. Only scratches and abrasions that can occur with excessively intensive use can spoil the impression.
- Gabardine. A material with a very dense structure. One of the popular options for making covers.
- Crepe satin. Material with a shiny, beautiful structure. It can also be chosen to make a sofa cover. However, it is quite difficult to call it practical. If you don't want it to quickly lose its appeal, we recommend using it only for festive events.

Features of Eurocases
The upholstery of upholstered furniture (including corner sofas) tends to deteriorate over time, so it needs additional protection. Several years ago, Euro-covers (also called bedspreads) were invented, which have the following advantages:
- The material contains many rubber threads, which give the product high elasticity. As a result, the cover can be pulled over corner sofas of different sizes without the risk of damage.
- The fabric does not fade, hardly gets dirty, and can be easily washed in a regular washing machine.
- Anyone can take off and put on the Eurocover.
- The coating is made from hypoallergenic safe materials.
- Long service life - at least 5 years.
- A variety of textures and colors of European covers for corner sofas allows you to choose a product to suit any interior.
A distinctive feature of such coatings is their ability to stretch to any size significantly larger than their own. You can stretch the Eurocover onto furniture of any shape and configuration: with or without a back, armrests (regardless of their height), with a left or right corner. This is possible thanks to double elastic material and modern technologies used for sewing. The disadvantages of European covers for corner sofas include:
- Increased cost compared to conventional coatings.
- Possibility to purchase goods only in specialized online stores or on the manufacturer’s website.
Functions
Let's figure out why a sofa cover is needed and what role it plays.
Firstly, the cover protects the sofa upholstery from all possible dirt and dust. The cover is convenient because it can be easily removed and washed if it becomes dirty or stained. Such a “number” will not work with upholstery. This is the main practical advantage of the case. Agree, it is much easier to wash the fabric from time to time than to admire the dirty, dusty upholstery.
The cover can become a decorative decoration for the sofa and act as a bedspread. As a rule, if the sofa has a cover, then it does not need a blanket. The covers are reversible - that is, they can be turned inside out, changing the color and pattern, and refreshing the sofa in a new way.
The cover is capable of “restoring” old upholstered furniture without any special tricks or expense. During use, the upholstery often wears out, fades, tears, and becomes unusable. In this case, it happens that the foam rubber and the entire internal structure of the sofa are in order: it is not dented, it is in good working order, everything works. In this case, a replacement cover comes to the rescue. Its dense fabric, tailored to the size of the sofa, will reliably cover all defects and imperfections in the upholstery, turning the furniture into new.
On the video, fabric for a sofa cover:
The cover will help give the room a festive look. On sale now you can find or sew yourself many models of covers from different fabrics, different styles, styles and colors. In the spring, you can “dress” your sofa in a light, delicate outfit, and for the New Year, get a festive option - brightly colored with gold and themed patterns. Many manufacturers often also offer cushions for the sofa along with the cover, which also add a certain amount of comfort to the overall picture.
Regular cases
Old covers are sewn specifically for a specific model of sofas in different styles. Loft, avant-garde, hi-tech, country, shaker - each uses its own technique, uses a certain fabric, fittings and decorative elements. On regular covers (and corner ones too) there are different types of fastenings and fasteners - braid, buttons, zipper, buttons or Velcro. Without them, the product will not stick to the furniture. The advantages of such products include their affordable cost. The disadvantages of old protective coatings are:
- often get confused;
- get dirty quickly;
- difficult to put on and take off;
- Each type of sofa needs its own cover.
Material selection
Let's take a closer look at the important question - which fabric to choose for a sofa cover.
Velours
An excellent choice for making a sofa cover. This is a soft fabric with a velvety texture. But, unlike velvet, the cost of velor is more affordable. The velor pile can be directed in one direction or facing different directions. During production, it is laid in different ways, combed, smoothed in a special way, so the resulting velor can be smooth, embossed, shaped, etc. Here you can find the composition of the velor fabric.
Velor for sofa cover
Velor can be made from various raw materials and in each case have its own special characteristics and advantages. Cotton or wool velor is best suited for sewing a sofa cover.
Peculiarities
- The fabric does not require complex care, which makes this cover a practical purchase.
- Velor has hypoallergenic properties and does not accumulate static electricity.
- The material has a high level of wear resistance, which allows the cover to serve for many years without problems or loss of its external characteristics.
- Dirt, stains, and dust are easily removed from the fabric by washing or dry cleaning. This allows the velor cover to please its owners with the impeccable appearance of furniture for many years.
- But, although velor costs less than velvet, sometimes its price can be high. In addition, velor is not very resistant to mechanical stress. Sharp cat claws can damage fabric. Therefore, such a cover is suitable only if there are no animals in the house.

Flock
Also a great option for a sofa cover. Flock is soft, delicate, but at the same time quite durable. This fabric is also called “velvet substitute”. Flock consists of polyester and cotton, with 35% natural fibers and 75% synthetic fibers.
Flock for sofa cover
This composition allows flock to simultaneously have the advantages of natural cotton and the stability and strength of synthetics. The pile is applied to the material by creating a special electrostatic voltage.
Peculiarities
- The flock is not deformed. A cover made of this fabric will perfectly retain its original shape throughout its use.
- The fabric is easy to care for. All stains and dirt are quickly removed from it.
- Flock does not fade. A sofa with such a cover will calmly “survive” even a hot sunny summer near the window.
- The material has a high level of water repellency. This is especially true if there are children in the house who can easily spill something on the sofa.
- The material is dense, but at the same time soft and pleasant to the touch.
- Does not accumulate static electricity and is resistant to dust. Therefore, dust mites rarely appear in flock.
- The colors on the fabric will remain bright throughout its operation, and the safe composition makes it possible to use covers made from this material for children's sofas.
- Disadvantage: flock sometimes causes allergies, so people prone to this disease are better off choosing a different material. Also read reviews about flock fabric.
Teflon flock
This is also flock, however, with a special impregnation of liquid Teflon. This fabric is a real breakthrough and a modern high-tech development. The impregnation is not applied on top of the fabric, but is already included in the composition of the fibers at the molecular level.
Thanks to Teflon, this type of flock repels dirt, does not accumulate dust, does not absorb liquid, and cannot be stained. Among other things, Teflon flock is very easy to wash and dries instantly.
Teflon flock for sofa cover
For those who have four-legged pets in their home, this material is a real find. Teflon flock is surprisingly resistant to animal claws and teeth.
Microfiber
Another material suitable for sofa covers. Many manufacturers position microfiber as a “suede substitute.” This artificial fabric comes from advanced Japan. It has a number of valuable properties and characteristics.
Microfiber for sofa cover
Microfiber is a durable fabric that can withstand long-term and intensive use without losing its external qualities and technical advantages.
For sofa covers, it is better to choose microfiber with Teflon impregnation, as in the previous example. In this case, the fabric becomes practically invulnerable and acquires increased durability and strength. Follow the link to find information about what microfiber fabric is and reviews about the material.
Microfiber impregnated with Teflon is resistant to fading and is not afraid of grease and dirt. This is a great solution for sofas that are subject to particularly intensive use: in the nursery, living room.
Cotton
The great advantage of this fabric is that the cotton is completely natural. Therefore, the material is breathable and environmentally friendly. Cotton lends itself well to dyeing. Cotton is used to make the brightest and most decorative sofa covers.
Cotton for sofa cover
The disadvantages include the fact that due to the fact that there is no artificial fiber in the composition, cotton does not last very long. But if the fabric is coated with a protective impregnation, this can extend its service life. In this case, the cover becomes resistant to fading and does not wear out so quickly. Another disadvantage of cotton is that it can shrink after washing.
Cotton is an excellent safe solution for children's sofas. Bright covers made of this material will delight the eyes of any child, and mothers will be calm, knowing that the baby is touching safe material. You might also be wondering how cotton fabric is made.
Jacquard
Covers made from this dense fabric have increased strength characteristics. Modern jacquard fabric contains both natural cotton and synthetic polyester with elastane. The result is a strong, durable fabric that is resistant to deformation and stretching.
Jacquard for sofa cover
Jacquard is very decorative and has a textured surface. A sofa with such a cover makes a “rich”, solid impression. This material fits especially well into classic traditional interiors.
Jacquard is suitable even if there are animals in the house. The material is not afraid of snags and is very difficult to tear. Double-sided jacquard is often used.
Chinille
This is both soft and dense fabric, great for furniture covers. The chinilla feels like soft plush, warm and very pleasant. The chinille looks noble and elegant, it is pleasant to sit on, and it makes an excellent impression. Despite its density, chinilla is a fairly light material. This lightness is provided by acrylic fibers in the composition.
In the photo there is a sofa made of chinilla:
Shinil for a sofa cover
The material fits the furniture well, so it is only suitable for new sofas. He will not be able to hide the crushed quality of old copies.
Do not buy adhesive-based tires - check this point specifically with the seller. The fact is that glued material does not last long, and after several washes it will lose its appearance. In addition, constant direct close contact with glue has a negative impact on health.
In addition to the listed materials, a sofa cover can be made from other materials, even faux fur.
Types of covers for a corner sofa
There are protective coverings for different types of sofas: with a protrusion on the right or left, with and without armrests, for kitchen corners, with elastic, capes, etc. The products are produced in several series (chineal, jacquard, pleated, jersey, microfiber, leatherette), providing the ability to choose a cover for any interior. You can buy a Euro-cover for a corner sofa at a discount, promotion, or on sale, as a result of which its cost is reduced significantly.
With ledge on the right
The cover for the corner sofa with the right projection from the Vista company easily stretches and fits onto furniture of any size. Hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly materials ensure safety when using the product. Thanks to the high quality of Vista cases, they are easy to care for:
- model name: Vista, Marble;
- price: 11,490 rubles;
- characteristics: Italy, composition – cotton/polyester, elongation – 300-450 cm, washing temperature – 30-400;
- pros: 25 colors;
- cons: high cost.
What is the secret of universal coverage?
Euro-covers are endowed with high elasticity due to the use of thin rubber threads in the production of textiles, as well as a special, patented manufacturing technology. Thanks to its ability to stretch in any direction, the fabric can easily be stretched onto structures of various shapes, being significantly smaller in size. Moreover, when the coating is removed, it will not be deformed, but will take on its previous appearance.
To purchase a cover, you just need to determine the length of the back of the sofa (as shown in the figure) and take into account the degree of stretchability of the material.
Dimensions and dimensions
Some recommendations for caring for the coating:
- textiles are washed in a machine on a gentle cycle, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees (for different types of fabric this figure can vary from 30 to 60 degrees, you must study the manufacturer’s instructions);
- The cover is loaded into the machine inside out;

Reviews
Daria, 30 years old Our corner sofa with a right projection has a complex shape, thanks to the built-in daybed. Over time, its appearance became unaesthetic, so I purchased a stretch cover from Bulsan. It is pulled on, removed and washed. There are no complaints about the quality of the material, the seams are neat, I also want to buy a cover for the kitchen corner.
Zinaida, 34 years old I decided to give my parents a Ga.i.Co Euro-cover for the corner sofa, since the children and the cat had badly damaged it. It turned out to be difficult to tighten the product; I had to struggle for a long time, and in the end the backs did not close completely. But the appearance has noticeably improved, the cat has stopped sharpening its claws on it. After 8 months of use and after a number of washes, the fabric did not stretch.
Marina, 27 years old My husband and I started a renovation, so we decided to protect the upholstered furniture by putting on a KARBELTEX eurocover. It came in one color, so there was no choice. It was not easy to put it on without male help, and the back and bottom of the armrests were left uncovered. Suitable as a temporary protective coating against dust.
Why do you need a sofa cover?
It’s hard to imagine modern apartments without upholstered furniture on which children and adults can sit comfortably. It is a pity to change the furniture when the upholstery made of woven materials and eco-leather loses its former attractiveness.
To protect the upholstery from dust, dirt, snags, and abrasion, special covers were invented.
A cover can preserve the decent appearance of furniture - a product that is placed on the sofa to protect the upholstery from dirt, stains from cigarettes, and premature wear. It will be possible to avoid abrasion of fibers and the formation of unsightly puffs from cat claws.
For reference. To ensure that the textiles fully correspond to the overall style of the room, choose color combinations to match the color of the curtains or light curtains.
Different fabrics are used to sew a sofa cover.
