A futon cover is not very attractive if the fabric is old and faded with the threads showing! If you are looking to make over your futon because it is old and drab, consider an inexpensive makeover such as a futon slipcover. You will be amazed what a futon cover can do for your interior dcor as well. You will save yourself a lot of money, by just updating the cover usually at a fraction of the cost of a new futon bed.

Technology has made an almost infinite variety of fabrics available in many different styles and colors. Just by changing the futon cover, you can change the whole tone of your room. Consider for a moment the following: what type of theme are you looking for, retro or contemporary, old-fashioned or modern? You can have brighter neutral colors or you may even want to consider some more popular choices such as abstracts, geometric shapes, plaids, solids, or florals or you may even want to consider something with the nature print.

Regardless of how old your futon cover may be, you can make them as serious or fun, as bright or neutral as you like. Of course, picking the right fabric is important as well, because you want to have one that is strong enough to withstand regular folding and use. Polyester and cotton mixes are popular, sturdy choices. If you are purchasing a new futon mattress, a futon slipcover is also available at many wholesale or large bedding retail shopping centers. If you would like to go one step further, consider painting your room a different color to match the fabric you selected for your futon cover. Either way you look at it, redecorating your room can be fun and will bring new life to a room that was once drab!
