It's a cover-up

Testimonial: Yvestown Nikkala make over

Yvonne Eijkenduijn who runs the lovely blog Yvestown got a slipcover from Bemz and took some wonderful pictures of her home and her "new" Nikkala sofa that we wanted to share with you.  

Yvonne bought a second hand Nikkala sofa and made a total make over with a new, light slip cover in Absolute White from Bemz. 

"I went online in search for the best "vintage" IKEA sofa and found a Nikkala for just €25 with a really ghastly purple slipcover. The sofa itself was in tip top shape. I came home, assembled the Bemz slipcover over the sofa and ta da; a brand new sofa for just €25." - Yvonne says.

That's the beauty of it, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money to get a completely new and personalised sofa! If you don't already have an IKEA sofa at home, buy a second hand IKEA sofa and design it anyway as you like with Bemz slipcovers. Choose between Regular Fit, Loose Fit Country and Loose Fit Urban and more then 220 different colours. 

Thank you Yvonne for letting us share your photos!

Plum for Goteborg en France

Remember Anne from last week who sent us pictures of her red Ekeskog? She also sent us these pictures from another apartment of hers!

Here is what Anne wrote: Cover just installed! Perfect.

And we can only agree! Goteborg looks absolutely amazing in Plum Panama Cotton sofa slip cover from Bemz. The classic colours of brown, beige and white and the expressive purple is definitely a winning combination.

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!
