Velvet Armchair Cover

A velvet armchair changes a room. Light doesn't sit on it the way it does on a flat fabric: it sinks in, and the colour looks deeper.

This velvet armchair cover gives that effect to a chair you already own, without replacing it.

What it changes at home

• Velvet catches the light. The colour shifts with the angle and the time of day, which a flat fabric doesn't do. It's what you notice when you walk into the room.
• A stretch velvet. It stretches both ways: a single piece covers the back, the seat and the arms, rounded or straight.
• No tools, no cutting. 2 minutes at most: unfold it, slip it on, then tuck the edges between the seat and the back. Nothing to screw in.
• A quick tidy now and then. Like a fitted sheet: when the fabric has moved, smooth it out and tuck the excess back into the gaps.

Day to day

• Machine washable at 30°C. Take it off, wash it, put it back on.
• Free delivery on orders of £85 or more, plus 2 free cushion covers: you choose them in your basket.

Measuring your armchair

One cover per armchair. Measure from one arm to the other, following the shape of the chair, arms included, with the tape measure flat against the fabric: this cover fits from 90 to 140 cm. Beyond that, choose the Velvet Sofa Cover — the 2-seater size starts at 145 cm. Check the depth too: from the top of the back to the front edge of the seat, following the fabric, 140 cm at most.

Which armchair? A classic armchair with a straight back and arms — the kind you find in a living room or a bedroom. A tub or club chair, with a low, wraparound back, needs the tub chair cover; a chair with a high back and side wings needs the wingback chair cover, each cut for its shape.
