Instant Ikea Upgrade

February 27, 2012

We’ve done our fair number of Ikea hacks, but nothing as thrillingly transformative as these slipcovers from Swedish company Bemz.

Lesley Pennington, the mastermind behind the company, came up with the idea after procuring an Ikea sofa for her Swedish summer house. She wanted a slipcover, but she wasn’t wild about Ikea’s selection. Voilà: Bemz, which offers worldwide shipping and more than 180 fabrics to upgrade a new or old Ikea piece. We especially like the latest addition to the collection: Loose Fit Urban covers in Rosendal linen from Belgium. The linen is pre-washed to give it a soft, rumpled feel and comes in a range of appealing colors.
