Ormel Floral Chenille Sofa Cover

Chenille has a nap that catches the light, and running a jacquard-woven floral through it gives the pattern depth rather than printing it flat on the surface. A tassel trim finishes the edge. The Ormel cover from Lockhone measures 180 x 130cm, a single stocked size that suits an armchair, a loveseat or the seat section of a two seater; the larger sizes carried by some sellers are not stocked here, so measure before ordering.

Be clear about what this is. It is a draped cover rather than a tailored fitted one, so it lies over the seat and arms and is tucked in at the creases instead of stretching tight to the frame like an elasticated slipcover. That is exactly why it works over an odd-shaped or older sofa that no fitted cover would suit, and the backing is slip-resistant so it stays put in normal use. After anyone has been sitting on it, smooth it back into place.

Five colours are offered - olive green, garden beige, cloud grey, night black and petal white - which covers both the neutral end and something with a bit more colour for a darker room. It is machine or hand washable, so a cover taking daily traffic can be cleaned as often as it needs rather than nursed. It is pet friendly too, which in practice means a sofa can be shared with a dog and returned to normal with one wash.
