Next, I substituted the basic Ikea cover for a custom cover from Bemz, a Swedish company that specialises in high-end Ikea slipcovers. I chose the Porridge Linara by Romo, and got the Karlstad three seater sofa cover ($439, originally $549) and chaise add on cover ($223, originally $279).
Choosing a slipcover for an Ikea piece comes with many practical benefits. For one, they're machine washable — so I could feel good about that light colour. Bemz also produces their custom covers on demand, which helps cut down on waste, making them eco-friendly. In addition, the company uses quality, natural fabrics, like linens and cotton. "We think our products are extremely affordable for something that is custom made," founder Lesley Pennington tells us. They have 300 fabrics to choose from.
