A Custom Slipcover – Step by Step
Is this your first time ordering a custom slipcover? We get lots of slipcover virgins (tee hee!) in our store. If this is your first time, we promise to be gentle – that’s why we’ve put together this little list of what you can expect when ordering your custom slipcover from Elegant Changes. Step 1: How Much Fabric Do You Need? Are you unsure how much fabric it will take to properly cover your piece of furniture?

Read MoreA Behind-the-Scenes Look at a Slipcover
Now that we’ve started up with our Slipcover sale, Elegant Changes wants to take you on a “behind-the-scenes” tour of a slipcover. That way, we could show you how easy it is to get a custom-fitted slipcover that can be taken on and off in just a few seconds. First, we want to show you the “before” shot of a chair prior to slipcover. Not too pretty, is it? We found this chair second-hand and knew it had potential.

Little things make a big difference. Good things come in small packages. All of these things are true when you’re talking about home décor. A little thing, like changing a seat cover or a decorative pillow, can add some pizzazz into the same old setting. When we were at our old location at Lakeshore and Hwy. 10, we would get all kinds of walk-ins asking if we would undertake small projects.

Elegant Changes takes on all kinds of projects, big and small. Drop in with your smaller décor items and...
Read MoreCustom Slipcovers Add Chic To Dining Room Chairs
We wanted to share one of our recent custom slipcover orders with you. They were made for a set of dining room chairs that the client wanted to update with the seasons. She had purchased these chairs at Sears and she was happy with the current cushions, which are neutral in colour. But she wanted some custom slipcovers that she could whip out depending on the season or if guests were coming over. The material she chose for the custom slipcovers featured a French Provincial style. While we were working on the slipcovers, everyone who popped by the store would comment on how much they liked it. These custom slipcovers just covered the cushions, so the chair’s focal...
