Disposable chair covers

Disposable chair covers are used as an inexpensive way to cover chairs. They can be wiped off easily, but are not meant to use multiple times. These are a good solution if the chairs are not in good shape and you want to cover them, but have a limited budget.

Sashes

Sashes are smaller pieces of fabric that can be tied to the chair cover in order to add some color. In some style of chair covers, the sash is also used to hold the chair cover on the chair. Sashes come in a variety of materials including organza and satin.

Striped tuxedo chair covers

A striped tuxedo chair cover is a popular design for weddings. The stripes on the design are contrasting shades of the same color for a little extra intrigue in the decor. Often the other linens are the same striped tuxedo style design.

Chivari/chiavari

Chivari, or chiavari, is a type of chair that is often used for elegant events. A chivari chair cover is often sheer so as not to cover up the fancy design of the chair. A chivari chair cover has delicate rungs on the back and often times come in colors such as black or gold.

Folding chair cover

Folding chair covers are designed specifically to fit onto folding chairs. Since folding chairs are not always the most elegant chair choice, folding chair covers allow you to dress them up a little and stay snug to the chair at the same time.

Pillowcase chair cover

A pillowcase chair cover has an extra piece of fabric attached to the cover that is used to self-tie the cover to the chair. It adds a bit of interest to the cover without a separate sash.
