It's a cover-up

Top tips for a super family summer with lovely linens

Nothing says summer quite like linen. It is light, airy and perfect for hot, humid days.

Just as a linen shirt can put you at ease in the heat of summer, linen touches in the home have the same cool, calming effect on your family.

According to Bemz in-house designer Katarina Wiklund, Summer 2013 is all about relaxed linen in timeless stripes and checks, which sit beautifully alongside muted solids like Soft White, Sand Beige and Deep Navy Blue.

"Don’t be put off bright and breezy colours because you have little fingers around," Katarina stresses. "One of the best things about linen covers from Bemz is that they are stain resistant and machine-washable. Twice as strong and durable as cotton, linen covers from Bemz get more beautiful and softer over time. And perhaps even more important to families, this fresh summer-friendly fabric is eco-friendly, non-allergenic and a natural insect-repellent!”

Katarina’s top five tips for keeping the family cool and comfy this summer - inside and out - without sacrificing on style are to:

1. Treat your sofa to a Bemz cover in chic, laidback Brera linen by Designers Guild, so you can enjoy yourself without having to fret over melted ice-cream or paw stains as your children and furry friends romp around.

2. Move your favourite old armchair in a Bemz Multi Fit cover in Lavender Rosendal Pure Washed Linen outside to watch your children play.

3. Host a dreamy summer al fresco dinner party for family and friends around a long wooden table surrounded by Henriksdal chairs in crisp linen covers from Bemz.

4. Add flowing linen curtains that billow in the breeze. Although whites and creams are obvious choices, muted pastels are also great for that chilled summer look. For extra drama, keep the curtains longer than the length of the window so excess fabric can bunch on the floor. In August, Bemz will be launching a brand new line of curtains, offering made-to-measure up to six metres long!

5. Swap winter for summer bedding in Absolute White linen from Bemz to help you and your loved ones sleep comfortably on hot summer nights. And while you are at it, add a matching linen bed skirt and headboard cover from Bemz, to create a versatile, coordinated look for tiny tots, teens and up.

Trend Alert: Stockholm White + 10% off solid whites

Stockholmers use a lot of white in their homes and not without good reason. During the long, dark winters, it is the white walls, whitewashed floorboards and white-on-white accents paired with large windows that brighten up even the smallest of spaces. Yes, white is forever on-trend in Sweden’s capital, a city in love with light.

The style is clean and simple, with sofas and armchairs in form fitting white cotton covers, or relaxed, loose fit, pure linen covers. Layering fabrics and texture is the key to this understated but oh-so chic look, where natural material takes centre stage. White walls and light coloured floors make borders disappear, creating a fresh, luminous interior, while white cushions in a mix of fabrics add comfort and interest.

Rock your IKEA sofa this spring in revived retro

Exciting news! At Bemz we're celebrating the lead up to spring by reintroducing select 20th Century Swedish design. Yes, we're expanding our range of fabrics with a host of long-forgotten treasures from the Swedish design archives – carefully picked out by the Bemz design team.

Viola Gråsten’s popular Kaleido, first launched at Bemz in 2008, is joined by two more stunningly unique designs: the organic Hästkastanj, and the geometric Trianglar pictured above

The designers include two established favourites from the Bemz Designer Collection, Viola Gråsten and Göta Trägårdh, who are joined by Annika Malmström and Stellan Mörner. Also making their debut with Bemz is the design house Strömma. All were seminal in influencing Swedish 20th century design.

Göta Trägårdh’s Josephine, part of the current Bemz collection, is joined by the equally impressive blooms depicted in her vibrant Folklore and the timeless Japan pictured above.

We actually leaked news about this relaunch back in November. Now these iconic fabrics are up and available to order on bemz.com – for the full range of Bemz products, including sofa covers, chair covers, cushion covers, fabric by metre and more.

Strömma is synonymous with Swedish textile history. Bemz is reintroducing their flowing Birds and the vibrant Kavalkad designs, pictured above and created by Inga Lill Andersson.

Needless to say, we're thrilled to be able to re-introduce these designers to be rediscovered by a whole new generation!

Stellan Mörner’s Comedin Går is constructed from eleven different colours of angular prisms that intersect and interlock in one strikingly abstract dream.

These vintage fabrics are perfect for those looking for something fresh and unique this spring, with the hot trends in fashion and design being all about mixing it up with geometric patterns, stripes and bold blooms.

Annika Malmström’s Harlequin is a never-before produced design made up of pen strokes that fuse and connect to form a spectacular geometric pattern.

As you can see, even with the same basic furniture a room can be transformed to look to look stylish, elegant, bohemian, shabby chic, contemporary and so on.

It’s hard to believe that this is even the same space.  So inspiring!

So, if you’re interested in giving your room an instant easy makeover this autumn without the headache of a full-on renovation or cracking open a can of paint, try a new slipcover from Bemz. Our covers are available in over 180 different colours and patterns for Ikea sofas, armchairs, daybeds, chairs,cushions. You can also purchase fabrics per metre and more.

Design-It-Yourself: 508 Chair Makeover

Today's post comes to you directly from the lovely and very talented Sarah of fave blog fiveoeight. I featured one of their previous creations back in March and their stunning reclaimed wood headboard ranks in the top 10 of most popular pins from our Pinterest page. I was thrilled when Sarah decided to include a Bemz fabric in one of her creations which she shares here, step-by-step - an exclusive to It's a Cover Up! You may not be surprised to find out that Sarah's genes are part Swedish. Oh the talent! Over to Sarah:

Hello...this is Sarah over at fiveoeight! I recently had the pleasure of using some of Bemz incredible fabrics to do a quick make-over on this chair. Chairs like this are super easy and are low-risk if you have never painted. I am sure a lot of these steps seem basic, but you never know how your process differs from others...these steps are specific to getting that chippy look with your paint. I snapped some shots along the way so you can do it too! Hope this inspires!

TOOLS:

• 150-220 grit flat sanding sheets, cut for whatever size you need* {508 uses: 3M Sandblaster or Norton 3X}
• electric sander (if you have it) & sanding sheets that fit
• fine grit sanding sponges, 220-320 {508 uses: 3M}
• furniture wax {508 uses: Fiddes}
• a few lint free rags
• paint, satin finish {508 uses: Benjamin Moore or Behr}
• paint brush {508 uses: 2.5” Angled Purdy Brush}
• flathead screwdriver
• wire cutters
• fabric of your choice {Bemz - Baronessa Pink by Lisa Bengtsson}
• staple gun & staples
• some type of backing or dustcover for the underside of your seat

 

1: DISASSEMBLE
Unscrew the seat. Loosen staples with flathead screwdriver & twist them out with wire cutters.

2: SAND
Go with the grain! Start with a medium grit sandpaper {150} using an electric sander {if you have it} for flat areas & flat sheets or sanding sponges for edges & corners. Finish sanding with a fine grit {220-320}.

Don’t go crazy- you just want the bulk of that existing finish off or ruffed up. If the finish is really gummy, use a solvent/remover first.

3: PRE-WAX
To get the chippy look, apply furniture wax BEFORE you paint. Wipe on the areas that you want the paint to chip off during the distressing stage. I like this method because it gives a similar look to Milk Paint, but you have more control. For this chair, I applied the wax all over quickly- not really caring how thick or thin. This made most of the paint come off in the end, which was what I was going for. Be creative with your piece!

4: PAINT
I only needed one 7oz paint sample for this chair. Using a GOOD brush, apply one coat of paint. I only brushed one coat on this chair because I knew I was going to heavily distress. The 7oz paint samples are still plenty to do 2 coats on a chair if you prefer. Let dry overnight.

5. DISTRESS
Using your finer grit sanding sponge or sanding sheet, begin distressing. You will see how quickly the paint comes off in the areas you have applied wax underneath. Again, go with the grain and move quickly. If it is not chipping or pealing off, MOVE ON.  When you are pleased with your look, thoroughly clean entire piece with damp rag.

>> Note: After the chair was clean, I applied a top protective coat of clear furniture wax with a lint free rag, buffing it after 30 min. << 

There are plenty of “how-tos” on recovering your basic chair seat- it is pretty simple. But here is the basics of how I do it- quick and easy. Here are the steps {continued...}

6. CUT FABRIC
If the original fabric isn’t too torn up after you have taken it off, use it to trace your new fabric piece! This ensures that you don’t cut too much extra fabric- or worse, too little! Often, people cut cotton batting to put between the foam and the fabric…in this case, I didn’t want it to look over-stuffed so I left the batting out.

7.  STAPLE
I mostly use an Easyshot gun, which isn’t the most powerful out there, but with a heavier duty staple it does just fine for most jobs. If you are stapling into a denser wood, you may want a more powerful staple gun.

Basically, I just line up the fabric, staple one side and then continue pulling tight and stapling each flat side first. Then, I work on neatly folding or bunching each corner tightly, stapling the corners in place one by one.

8. BACKING/DUSTCOVER {optional}
Because I tend to “over staple”, I like to lightly staple a white backing/dustcover on the underside of the seat to clean it all up. Especially because in some cases, the seat overhangs from the chair, exposing all those ugly staples and could snag your fingers while moving it around.

 

Now all you need to do is reassemble your chair and enjoy!

Spring is in the air with Designers Guild - Brera

As I write this, the snow is falling in big wet clumps. This, after a week of spring fever? It seems cruel. At least it did, until I opened my folder containing the latest addition to the Designers Guild collection at Bemz. Seven sophisticated, delectably luxurious linen fabrics in summer cool and exquisitely timeless checks and stripes from the extremely popular Brera range at Designers Guild.

The colours are perfect for spring 2012 with shades of blue and grey combined with crisp white, sooty black and natural linen. The updated stripe and check designs are right on trend and exude Scandinavian simplicity.

Henriksdal chairs in Cobalt - Brera Rigato, Noir - Brera Fino & Cloud - Brera Fino; cushion cover in Cobalt - Brera Quadretto, Cobalt - Brera Fino & Noir - Brera Fino

Made from 100% yarn-dyed linen, these fabrics are the ideal addition to the exclusive Bemz Loose Fit collections and will only be available in either Country or Urban styles, both unique to Bemz. The fine, pre-washed linen combined with the design of the special Loose Fit covers results in a sophisticated and dapper look with a less formal feel.

Despite its exclusive finish, these soft linen fabrics are durable and machine-washable at 40ºC.

I don't want to take Mother Nature head-on, I have too much respect for her! But there's no denying spring and summer with these fabrics. Indoors anyway... If you're longing for a bit of of seaside chic, read more about this collection.

Trend alert: Urban decay revisited

As defined by Wikipedia "Urban decay (also known as urban rot and urban blight) is the process whereby a previously functioning city, or part of a city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude." This definition may leave you wondering how this could ever become trendy! However, as a result of our love of the environment, our passion for the three Rs, followed hot on the heels by the instant hit upcycling, it seems an almost natural progression. 

Urban decay New York City via Wikipedia

Urban Decay, in the fashion and interior sense, also known as Industrial Vintage and Industrial Chic, is really about embracing the tarnished and somewhat old and used pieces and making them your own. I posted about this back in December but it's high time for a revisit! Bemz's Loose Fit - Urban covers are set to go live momentarily and they are core to this look.

Industrial look c/o Bemz

What do you need to achieve the right amount of decay you ask? Well obviously, as with any design, personal taste will guide you here but basically think about these three things:

Industrial style kitchen c/o Livingetc

Industrial style conservatory c/o Livingetc

Industrial style bedroom c/o Ideal Home

1. Take cues from old, defunct factories and rustic surroundings: Furniture choices are sturdy and functional, with straight lines and simplistic design, ideally a little worn with either rust or peeling paint to give it the proper tarnished look and a genuine factory feel. Use a balanced mix of concrete, untreated wood and tarnished metal, ideally in their crudest, unpolished form to provide the industrial base for this look but then soften it with personal details like framed black and white photos, fresh cut flowers and supple fabrics.

2. Fabrics are key: It is the softness and versatility of fabrics that interprets the industrial theme for home living. Shades of grey, with white, black and blue accents, especially denim-like textiles build a solid base for the colour palette of this look. Injections of soft pastel colours, particularly "dirty pastels" such as mint green or light yellow, can break up the predominantly grey colour scheme. On-trend metallics are the ideal partner for offsetting the less refined materials used in this style. Patterns should be used sparingly so that the subdued, monochromatic grey, white and black colour palette remains uninterrupted. To achieve the right, worn look, opt for interesting textures instead, such as washed, tactile fabrics in any and every shade of grey.

3. Repurpose pieces - think outside the box! Stacked boxes provide unconventional storage; a slightly worn metal stool can be used as a bedside table; an upcycled pallet finished with a glass top and casters is a coffee table. These details define that urban decayed look while making it personal too.

Top tips: It's okay to be blue

Have you ever heard of chromatherapy? Me neither! Apparently, it is the art of healing through colour. And why not? We react emotionally to lots of colours for a variety of reasons. If I say red, you say hot (or Christmas or love...). If I say green you say ecological (or money or jealousy...).

But let's talk about blue. It's associated with cold as well as with sadness but did you know that hues of blue can help soothe pain and promote relaxation?

It doesn't stop there! A blue room is even said to make people more thoughtful and productive!

All this and beauty too. The soothing shades of tropical waters like Oceanic Teal and Crystal Bay will help create a dramatic statement. 

And the fact that many of the names given to the various hues of this colour are derived from natural resources is evocative and telling.

And how timely: Bemz has just added a new colour to the Tegnér Melange texture fabrics collection. Mineral Blue (pictured above). It's a stunning dove-blue with a hint of sand and spot on trend for this ever-popular mellow yet intense colour palette. 

As with all nine shades included in the Tegnér Melange textiles, Mineral Blue is a yarn dyed fabric from Italy, made from a blend of cotton, viscose and linen. By mixing these natural fibres in different colours, a stunning weave with a unique structure and a soft, comfortable surface is created.
