Types of covers for Ikea sofas, their features and advantages

Swedish products are in demand all over the world for various reasons. One of them is the absence of the need to make repairs or change furniture to quickly change the style of the room.

The range of these high-quality products will allow you to choose the best option for yourself - taking into account the style of the room or your own mood. A pleasant bonus will be the affordability and easy care of the capes - most models can be machine washed.

Varieties

The assortment of IKEA products in this category is represented by covers and European covers, which will not only refresh the atmosphere, but also protect upholstered furniture from dirt and damage. Models designed for garden sofas and armchairs must be waterproof, so the furniture will not suffer from the vagaries of the weather and will retain its original appearance for a long time.

Features of selecting covers for Ikea sofas:

  1. Capes. They are selected with an eye to the overall style of the room. Products must be in harmony with curtains, textiles and other decorative elements. Care depends on the characteristics of the material. Any cape must be regularly vacuumed and washed at least twice a year. Fur models will have to be dry cleaned, but acrylic ones do not require special care. Satin and silk must be washed by hand at a temperature of no more than 50 ºС; without these conditions, the fabrics will deteriorate. Capes from the Swedish brand last for several years, do not lose the brightness of their colors and shape, and do not become covered with pellets.
  2. Euro covers. Stretch covers for sofas from Ikea are universal and suitable for different models of furniture. Elastic fabric is protected from dirt and mechanical damage. There are products with an anti-claw function, especially for homes with pets. The covers have an attractive appearance and are made of high-quality fabrics with solid colors or original prints. The disadvantages include high cost.

What types of bedspreads are there for a corner sofa, their features

The bedspread is designed to solve two important problems in the house.

  1. The first is purely functional. Those. it should protect the surface of the sofa from coffee stains, abrasions, pet hair and other chemical and mechanical damage.
  2. The second function of a bedspread not only for a corner bedspread, but, in general, for any sofa, bed or chair is decorative. With the help of a bright cape, an original cover or a beautiful blanket, you can create the right mood in the room, provide the intended ambience, and even make thoughts flow in the right direction.

The problem is that corner sofas come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles. But the bedspreads for them are hopelessly behind in terms of the number of models produced.

There are 3 possible options: search and find a product of the right size and color on the Internet, order tailoring from a professional, or try to make your room better and brighter yourself. Those who have decided to independently create the design of their home know what to do without our advice. But for those who want to find the perfect blanket for a corner sofa, a little review won’t hurt.

Materials

Fabrics intended for sewing Ikea covers for armchairs and sofas are practical, durable, and easy to care for. They are easy to clean and can be machine washed normally, following temperature recommendations. It is permissible to use water heating up to 40-60 degrees. Some varieties allow dry cleaning. All fabrics can be ironed at high temperatures.

Mostly the models are represented by mixed materials, having a polyester and cotton structure. There are covers that are one hundred percent synthetic fibers, while other covers are completely natural. To improve performance characteristics, viscose and linen are often added to the composition. Blended fabrics combine the best qualities of the raw materials used, so they are the most preferred option. A brief description of two basic materials for the manufacture of covers and covers for Ikea chairs, as well as for various models of sofas of this brand:

  1. Cotton. Natural fabric, its main positive property is good breathability. This cape is pleasant to the touch, does not cause allergies, but wrinkles easily and can shrink when washed. Typically, cotton is combined with artificial additives, which gives it special strength and resistance to deformation.
  2. Polyester. Synthetic fabric made from polyester fibers. Outwardly it resembles wool, but its characteristics have much in common with cotton. Advantages of the material: it does not fade from the sun's rays, is very durable, does not wear out for a long time, is not afraid of fungus and moths, is resistant to dirt, and is easy to care for. Disadvantages of the fabric: it is quite rigid, can become highly electrified, and does not allow air to pass through well.

If cats or dogs live in the house, relax fabric is used for the covers, which in its structure resembles leather - due to the isoprene layer and thick pile, claws do not appear on it.
