Loose Fit Sofa + Chair Covers For IKEA Furniture

For the past year or so, I've been completely smitten by the trend of loose-fit covers for sofas and chairs but it's mostly being done by expensive furniture companies in Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Italy and I couldn't seem to justify the expense. Loose fit from BEMZ

Lately, I've been trying to "save" my IKEA KARLSTAD sofa which is currently sitting lonely and sad in my storage room. I've been dying to make the time to actually make my own loose slip to cover it, but I never seem to make the time to actually do it plus it's a big undertaking for someone who has never covered a sofa before - I'm guessing it would take me about 3 days of non-stop work and another week or two to source the fabric at an affordable price. While I love to make my own stuff when I can, I was thrilled to find out that Swedish company BEMZ, who ships all over the world, recently releases their own loose slips for IKEA furniture. I'm thrilled beyond words and plan to order one as soon as possible so my IKEA sofa can come out of storage and play with me again!

This is my favorite one above...

You can also find some that fit more snugly if you love cleaner lines...
