"We have two of these recliners in our living room, cream-colored. The issue is that we also have two boys, and these chairs get dirty quickly. Our living room gets a lot of natural light, so the grubbiness stands out. We have tried cleaning them, and that works for a bit, but with diminishing returns. My question is: Is there anything we could use to cover the arms, but that would still look chic? How do we get the most life out of these chairs?"
"You have three options: Replace the chairs, replace the boys, or get armrest covers. I'm going to assume you want to keep both your sons and the chairs, so I looked into armrest covers. You can order custom armrest covers on Etsy or get a local seamstress or upholsterer to make them for you. The benefit of going local is that you can look at swatches in person, and you'll likely get your covers faster."
Two cream-colored recliners in a sunlit living room are showing dirt quickly because two young boys use them and cleaning provides only temporary improvement. Options include replacing the chairs, replacing the boys, or using armrest covers. Custom armrest covers can be ordered online or made by a local seamstress or upholsterer. Choosing a local maker allows examination of swatches and faster turnaround. When ordering remotely, request fabric swatches and match weave and color to the existing upholstery. Purchasing multiple sets per chair ensures a clean spare for rotation. Many sellers also offer custom slipcovers for IKEA seating.
