Zenn Interiors – The Smart, Stylish Way to Dress Your Furniture.
Loose covers are removable fabric covers made to fit over sofas, armchairs and other upholstered furniture. They provide a tailored appearance while allowing the covers to be taken off for cleaning, maintenance or future replacement.
Loose covers can be removed from the furniture, while fixed upholstery is attached directly to the frame. Loose covers offer greater flexibility and easier maintenance, whereas fixed upholstery usually creates a more permanent, closely fitted finish.
Yes. Made-to-measure loose covers are created around the exact shape and dimensions of the furniture. Careful measuring and pattern cutting help the finished covers sit neatly and follow the original lines of the piece.
Loose covers can be made for many sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and other upholstered pieces. Suitability depends on the shape, construction and detailing of the furniture, particularly where there are unusual curves or fixed features.
Yes. Removable covers can be a practical choice for busy homes because they are easier to clean or replace than fixed upholstery. The most suitable fabric should be selected according to durability, stain resistance and care requirements.
This depends on the fabric selected and how the covers are constructed. Some materials may be washable, while others require professional dry cleaning. The appropriate care method should be confirmed before the fabric is chosen.
Yes. Professionally made loose covers can follow the shape of the furniture closely and include tailored details such as piping, pleats, ties or separate cushion covers. They do not need to look loose or informal.
Yes. A new fabric, colour or pattern can significantly change the appearance of a sofa or chair. Details such as skirts, piping and cushion styles may also be adjusted to create a softer, more traditional or more contemporary finish.
Yes. Replacement covers can often be created for furniture that already has loose covers or for suitable fixed-upholstery pieces. The furniture will need to be assessed and measured so an accurate pattern can be produced.
Contact Zenn Interiors with photographs of the furniture, approximate dimensions and details of the covers you require. It is also helpful to explain how the furniture is used and any preferences regarding fabric, colour, cleaning or finishing details.
