As seasons change in the UK, so do your home decor needs. You may want to rotate between thicker, cosy chair covers for winter and lighter, breezy options for summer. But what’s the best way to store chair covers seasonally without damaging their fabric, shape, or elasticity?
Whether you’re rotating dining chair covers for aesthetic reasons or storing covered dining room chairs for special occasions, smart storage keeps your investment fresh and long-lasting.
📦 Why Proper Storage of Chair Covers Matters
Improper storage can lead to:
-
Wrinkles or creases
-
Fabric fading from sunlight
-
Mold or mildew from moisture
-
Stretch loss in elastic designs
To maintain your chair covers for dining chairs in their best condition, follow these seasonal storage tips.
✅ Step-by-Step Guide to Store Chair Covers Properly
1. Clean Before Storage
Always wash and dry your dining room chair covers before storing them. Residual food particles or dust can attract bugs or cause stains to set.
👉 Bonus Tip: Refer to care labels. Most of our jacquard waterproof chair covers are machine-washable and easy to maintain.
2. Fold Neatly or Roll
Fold covers flat to prevent hard creases. For stretchy materials, rolling is a great option to avoid pulling the fabric unnecessarily.
3. Use Breathable Storage Bags
Avoid vacuum bags for spandex-based chair covers as compression can ruin the elasticity. Use cotton or linen storage bags that allow airflow and protect from dust.
4. Label by Season or Style
Keep a small note or tag indicating the purpose—e.g., “Winter Covers - Velvet,” “Spring Floral Covers.” This makes it easier to rotate when the seasons change.
5. Avoid Sunlight & Moisture
Store in a cool, dry area—such as a linen cupboard or wardrobe. Sunlight can cause fading, especially on darker chair covers.
