Bemz has recently launched some new slipcover lines and designs. If you have an Ikea sofa that has seen better days upholstery-wise, these are an easy on the wallet and more eco-friendly fix to get your place looking good for the holidays and beyond without replacing furniture. Here's what's new:
Bemz basiqs (shown above the jump and here) is a new, budget-conscious line of super simple slipcovers. They are made of 100% cotton, which is unbleached, undyed and all natural. Available for Tomelilla, Karlanda, Nikkala, Goteborg and Ekeskog sofas.
New designs are available using classic textiles from Scandinavian designers Viola Grasten and Gota Tragardh:
Josephine by Gota Tragardh in Graphite Grey
Josephine by Gota Tragardh in Strong Pink
Kaleido by Viola Grasten in Blue on Blue.
Warm things up with Chenille slipcovers in new colors. Warm, soft textural cotton is especially nice for the winter months.
All slipcovers available at Bemz.

I just love the white slipcover. I could just imagine it in my den, along with this decorative pillow. Just gorgeous!

that graphite grey pillow by Gota Tragardh is just the type of accents anyone should have at home. love it.
btw, does anyone know the brand of jeans the guy on the first picture is wearing? :S
I'm looking for a pair of skinny jeans that look exactly like those :S

these photos look great, but i've never had good luck with slipcovers - they always look so unpolished and i can never get them tight enough. anyway, i do love the "strong pink" design above!

Over $300 for a single slip cover is not what I would consider "budget-conscious." :P
They're beautiful, but I can't afford them.

I just hate that they don't sell any for the Poang armchair. I really need to cover mine up, and I don't like any of the options to buy right now at Ikea...I need a green one or a pattern.

I bought a Nikkala sofa just before IKEA discontinued the line (and the slip covers), and although I desperately need a new cover, I just can't justify spending as much on a cover as I did on the couch.

I've had my Nikkala sofa for about 5 years now, and I discovered www.bemz.com a few years back also, shortly after learning that the sofa (and slipcovers) had been discontinued by Ikea. Back then, I assumed the ridiculous prices that Bemz charged were only an indication that the website and their products were a welcomed novelty. I figured it might take a year or so for the company to start posting more reasonable prices - after all, they ARE marketing to budget-concious IKEA customers - but no such luck. Bemz has only introduced new lines that hoover in the mid $400 range. Absurd!
Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else like www.nikkala-slipcover.com to buy.
