How to give your old Ikea sofa a brand-new look
Bemz

When it comes to affordable sofas, Ikea has the market cornered. So when it’s looking dated or a bit worse for wear, it’s easy to think about getting a new one. But there are companies that specialise in making custom slipcovers for a range of Ikea sofas, so you can give your old one a makeover. Saves money – and your sofa from landfill. Here, we’ve rounded up the top four companies that will help give your sofa a fresh new look.
