Everyone is busy during the holidays so who has time to throw a Martha Stewart Holiday Party? The holidays should be a time for family, friends, and fun, not expensive, elaborate, and exhausting decorating projects. Now, the experts at Sure Fit Slipcovers offer some advice on how you can make your home a hit this holiday season without investing a lot of time or money.

Impress your guests by transforming your ordinary living room into a winter wonderland. Winter White decorating is subtle and sophisticated and a nice break from traditional red and green themes. Sure Fit offers a soft suede slipcover in a sand color that looks great year-round, but can be easily accessorized with party pillows like our new Golden Squares design for instant holiday charm. And you don’t have to worry about eggnog spills or stains….this luxurious suede is machine washable!

Gold is another hot holiday alternative, lending warmth and soft color to your room. Welcome friends and family in from the cold with soft, luxurious velvet slipcovers (yes, these, too, are washable). Matching velvet dining chair covers make it easy to attractively blend dining chairs into a living room setting when extra seating is needed.

If red is a color you’ve been thinking about for a change of pace, you’re not alone. According to Sure Fit, red is one of the most popular slipcover colors. Your only problem will be choosing from a dozen dramatic shades and beautiful textured fabrics such as chenille, faux silk and damask. If you tend towards the casual, outfit your furniture in Sure Fit’s new Oxford Twill in solid red with coordinating stripes. Paisley Floral offers pure luxury and Thai Silk Ruby lends modern appeal.

If you’re expecting dinner guests, be prepared with extra seating in your living room and dining room. Don’t get caught using cold, metal folding chairs or ratty, old wooden chairs that don’t match. A quick and festive cover-up is available from Sure Fit in a variety of machine washable fabrics and designer styles. Try casual cotton duck folding chair covers, Simple Suede Shorty covers, or Princess--an elegant pleated damask that falls all the way to the ground.

For affordable elegance, add decorative pillows to your holiday ensemble. Pair our lavish Paisley Floral pillows with a Cotton Velvet Gold slipcover or bring together the rich hues in Mosaic with Brushed Twill. After all, it’s often the little touches that make the most impact on a room.
