Whilst I fell in love over the Internet with a Jardan couch, the realities of small children, their sticky fingers, the fact I need to fill a whole room with furniture and, ummm, a budget, meant this was one on-line relationship that was not going to last the distance. Enter Ikea. Hooray! Very happy with the design of the Karlstad couch, however, not totally loving the fabric options and not sure they will make the distance with afore-mentioned small children and sticky fingers. Enter Google. Hooray! A company called Bemz that makes covers for Ikea sofas, armchairs and cushions out of a huge range of quality fabrics and funky designs and who shipped me 10 swatches of sample fabrics all the way from Lithuania, for free!
I guess in the olden days if one wanted a new couch one pretty much had to buy it, and and it's covers, from at least the same country, if not state, city or village - imagine that!
I'm impressed. and Lithuania! I thought they only did Amber. What colours are you going for?
ReplyDeleteThe blue on the far right, it has a bit of grey/texture/depth and will hide sticky fingers!
ReplyDeleteOf course there is a company that does this! (If only I had thought of it... and had any business sense... and any creative flair...) That is brilliant!
