White Sofas Are The Best

White sofas are the easiest to keep clean, and I maintain that stance because I use slipcovers.

I have kids, pets and a white sofa. 

Actually, I have two of them and have always had a white sofa.  My slipcovers are custom, washable and really old. One is almost 20 years old, and the other one is a mere youngster at five. I’m also a clean freak. Washing slipcovers is a breeze and I always have lots of bleach on hand. And, white slipcovers are so versatile.

I can change the entire look of my room with the change of throw pillows and an area rug, and maybe change up some art and accessories.  It’s such a great way to keep things current, on trend and, for me, calm. I do many different looks and styles for clients and need to keep a quiet tone within my own abode. Seasonal changes are just so easy when you have a white sofa.

Here are some great retailers that offer a variety of white sofas:  Pottery Barn, William Sonoma Home, Crate & Barrel, and Cb2. 

Always remember when buying a sofa not to go cheap. A substantial sofa will have a great frame with a warranty to keep its good shape while anchoring your room.
