During the holidays and other special occasions where you’re entertaining more guests than usual, you may not have enough dining chairs for everyone. You could use folding chairs to make sure there are enough seats, but they will look a bit odd next to regular dining chairs. For a more elegant look, the solution is to use folding chair slipcovers to smarten them up and coordinate your mismatched seats to blend in with the rest of your room.

If you’re organizing a wedding or other big event where you need to seat a large number of people, then using fabric covers on basic folding chairs is an easy way to make your seats look pretty and tie them in with the overall look you’re aiming for. A cotton, damask or satin cover can instantly disguise a cheap wooden or metal folding chair and help bring a sense of style to the whole room. Half chair covers for folding chairs, which cover just the seat or the back are another option. Cheap disposable coverings for folding chairs can be found for sale, but fabric covers are better quality, can be used again and again, and the price isn’t much more.

Ready made folding chair covers are inexpensive to buy and can instantly improve the appearance of old folding chairs that may have been gathering dust in a cupboard. Giving a folding chair a makeover is very quick and cheap. Simply slip a cover over the back and seat of the chair and secure it in place with ties inside.

The SureFit Cotton Duck Folding Chair Slipcover is designed to fit most wood or metal folding chairs up to 32” tall, with either a square or rounded back and a standard size 15” square seat and 17” wide back.

The 100% cotton fabric is hard wearing and machine washable, so there’s no need to worry about guests spilling food or drink on your covers, as they are easy to clean. It comes in a choice of 3 stylish colors, to compliment most decor – black, linen or natural.
