Weird...here's an idea, next time you do one of these with an Ikea piece, leave out "Ikea" and see how people vote....
....there's way too much baggage in the Ikea name.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Ikea-ness for me. It just reminds me of the pattern from the carpet in a movie theater from the 1980s, or maybe a Reno casino. Which is weird because usually I like her patterns.
The name that influenced me more was not Ikea, but Hanna Werning. I love her and her designs, so at first I didn't like the couch, but I sorta changed my mind when I saw her name. Interesting....(I know, I'm a brand whore).

I don't care at all for what looks like little duckies and big ugly flowers, regardless of their unnatural coloration- its far too juvenile and doesn't look expensive or tasteful.

The pattern is OK, but the colors are just awful.

The randomness and non-centeredness of the pattern suggests it was intended as camo for corporate spies attempting to infiltrate a Marimekko factory.

A child's room? Maybe. My living room? Never.
