Victorians often had summer slipcovers made to cover their furniture’s dark upholstery. Now a more modern and less expensive way is to just toss a white sheet over a sofa or chair. This gives a light, filmy quality I find appealing.

There’s nothing like the combination of blue and white! The white sheet covering the chair only adds to the artistic flair of this room.
