There are 2 main types of dining room chair covers:  Long and Short.

The primary difference is that a long dining room slipcover drapes over the legs of your chair while short slipcovers reveal the legs.

Deciding which type of dining room chair slipcover to buy boils down to personal choice.

Often you’ll consider whether you wish to hide your dining chair legs or show them off.  Nice wood legs you may wish to show while metal or scruffed-up legs you may wish to cover up with the draping slipcover.

Dining Chair LONG

In fact, dining chair slipcovers should be chosen according to your answers to some simple questions:

1. Are you looking for a slipcover that is long and nearly reaches the floor?

This kind of slipcover covers up chair legs rendering an elegant look.

A long dining chair slipcover can also be useful to hide mismatched chairs.

Long dining room chair covers can be tight / fitted OR loose / casual.  I prefer the casual, loose fitting long dining room chair covers.  The image to the left is a loose-fitting long dining room chair cover.

In addition, consider whether you want a slipcover that ties on to the chair, or whether you’d prefer a slipcover with more give that is constructed of a stretch fabric.

The main consideration when choosing a dining room chair cover is:

Do you like the legs of your chair?  For example, if you have chairs with finished wood, you may wish to go with short dining room chair covers.  That said, slipcovers also function to protect chairs so if you prefer to protect your wood chairs, long covers may be best.
