Furry friend loves Karlstad en France

Jenny of France sent in these lovely photos of her Karlstad armchair revamped in a Fuchsia Panama Cotton cover from Bemz.

Here’s what Jenny wrote (translated): Hello to the Bemz team.Thank you for all your hard work. My chair cover arrived this morning with TNT. Needless to say I was eager to upcycle my Karlstad armchair whose cover was damaged by the claws of my two cats, after six years of daily use and three moves. I put the new cover on without difficulty (it's really tailored, bravo!) And my chair is like new. The Fuchsia colour is bright and extremely friendly. And I love it! Now, I’m regretting that my sofa is not an Ikea because it could do with a new cover too! I will certainly recommend Bemz to my friends.

Merci bien for the kudos and for sharing your home with us Jenny. The vibrant colour slots right in with the bright, happy ambiance of the room, enhancing the eclectic artwork on the wall. Your delightful furry friend seems to be pretty happy with the new cover too – and the perfect contrast to boot!

Understated elegance: Ektorp in Austria

Lorna of Austria brightened up her Ektorp sofa bed with a new cover from Bemz in Absolute White Panama Cotton.

Here is Lorna wrote: I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the order. I initially chose the wrong colour for the cover which was only apparent when it arrived here in Austria. However you quickly arranged to have it picked up and I then ordered the correct colour. I was under time pressure as we had just redecorated the room and were expecting guests to stay for a week. I emailed and asked if the new cover could be sent in less than the stated four weeks. Although you replied that there was no cover in the warehouse and therefore no guarantee that the new cover would arrive in time, it did! The room was finished in time for our guests. So a big thank you from me to you and your team.

Thank you right back for sharing your lovely home with us Lorna. Your guest room is light, airy and very inviting, with your revamped sofa bed slotting right in with the understated elegance of the space. We're sure your guests slept well!

Love The Princess and the Pea? See Bemz's new mattress covers for a Nordic version

Design-it-yourself buffs found out the answers to these and other DIY questions at workshops held by Bemz and Lillebricole at the Créations & Savoire Faire show in Paris that we posted about last week.

Our workshops were held in The Loft, one of the central and most popular features of the fair, where interior decorator Fabienne Spahn spun her magic making dreams come true with a mix of affordable textile products for the home.

One popular workshop was on colour matching, at which participants learnt how to colour match Bemz fabrics with paint.

Another was on headboards as a key finishing touch to any bedroom. As DIY-ers at the Loft found out, making your own headboard has never been so easy. All you need is a large piece of wood and felt, and 2.5 metres of fabric and a few staples...

Here Duck Egg Brera Lino from Designers Guild from the Bemz Designer Collection was used to create a DIY designer headboard.

Special thanks to Fabienne, Marie Davideau, Lillebricole's CEO, and all the team at The Loft for treating the DIY-ers to a whole lot of creativity and fun.
