When it's time to lighten up with a summer palette, nothing does a better job than slipcovers.

Cottage decor is a perfect fit for slipcovers, but when tailored for a snug silhouette, they are right at home in a more formal setting, too. Photos via Pottery Barn (left) and Attic Magazine (right).

Of course, slipcovers are in their element in seasonal cottages at the lake or beach. They wear well, take lots of abuse throughout the summer and can be washed and readied for return visits before heading home.

What a beautiful look these slipcovers present at the dining table. Of course, the view is killer, too.
