You might remember I wrote a little while back how I desired a new sofa or a transformation that would improve the look of my sofa. In the post I mentioned Bemz, a great brand that basically creates covers for generic ikea furniture and turns them into a piece that is unique for your home.
I have recently partnered with Bemz to try one of their sofa covers and I can not be more pleased. I really love the shape of my Karlstad sofa, I find it comfortable and durable with the kids but it was just lacking something! I’ve had a crush on the Ghost sofa by Paola Navone for years, I mentioned before it’s a little bit out my price range and to be honest dirty prints on a costly sofa isn’t very appealing, so the Urban Loose fit covers in white are perfect for me. It has instantly transformed my sofa and the quality of the linen is beautiful. Anyone who has a Karlstad sofa knows its a little bit of a pain to change the covers over, so I was worried I would need to take everything apart, but the cover just slips over, very easy!
Even if its not a sofa cover you want to transform there are loads of different options from covers for your bed to pillow cases. I have a great give way coming at the end of the week, which will run through my Instagram. More details will follow soon.

Debs! I wanted to get white linen covers…I rang Bemz a while ago as I wanted to be sure they would slip over the karlstad (ie I wouldn’t have to take the bloody thing apart which completely kills me!) and I was told that it doesn’t slip over!!?? So, am I right in saying…you strip off current cover, put the sofa back together without a cover and throw on the Bemz and change the cushion covers…is it that simple?? I can’t believe they gave me the wrong info…I wouldn’t be bothered with them if I had to take out the bloody toolbox every time!! Let me know if I am understanding correctly? Thanks sweetie!

Hi Martina,
Sorry if you received the wrong info, but here is the scoop on Karlstad. If you order our regular fit cover (same as the original from IKEA) then yes, you need to remove the armrests and put the covers on the armrests and reassemble the sofa. If you order our long skirt model or the Loose Fit Urban style for Karlstad, then no, there is no need to disassemble the sofa. The covers for the frame fit over the sofa, armrests and all!
