IKEA Ektorp sofa hack – How we modernised a classic

Everyone knows the Ektorp sofa. Pleated long-skirt, round arms, a classic look. Is it too dated and unfashionable? I say ‘Yes’, but it doesn’t have to be! But first…

But how?

With minimal work, that’s how. Simply obtain a set of customised slipcovers, or sofa covers for the non-US, for your Ektorp sofa. We are unashamedly the best (read: only) option for these custom slipcovers ;)

The covers will arrive at your door in a nice waterproof bag. Inside said bag will be both your covers and the other half of a velcro reel. Replace the loose covers with our tailored slipcovers and flip your sofa on its back. Grab a staple gun and staple the velcro to the underside of your Ektorp, you can adjust the placement of the velcro for a better fit if you wish.

We’ll have a nice video up for you soon on this – but in the mean time, here’s some additional shots of our snug fit Ektorp sofa covers in woollen Shire Rust!

Enough teasing, show us what it looks like
