How to Apply a 2-Piece Couch Slipcover

A two-piece couch slipcover allows homeowners to customize the look of their furniture at any time. Slipcovers are available in a variety of colors and patterns, and changing the slipcover on your sofa will instantly update the look of the room. With a two-piece cover, the first piece goes over the back and arms of the sofa, while the second piece covers the cushions.
