We wrote about Bemz slip covers last spring, but a few people have asked about them recently so we thought we’d revisit. Shopping the site from the U.S. just got easier, so go ahead and re-invent your old IKEA sofa!

There comes a time in life when you must graduate to a grown up sofa, when you say good-bye to that Ikea three-seater that got you through the lean years. Unfortunately, you may get sick of your Karlanda or Ektorp before you can spend $3000 on the couch of your dreams. When that happens, click on over to bemz.com, a Swedish site that makes spiffy slipcovers specially designed to help you get another year or two out of Ikea sofas and chairs. Available in a variety of patterns and colors, you’re sure to find something to suit your new maturing decor style. It’s also a great solution if you’re looking to furnish the country house or home office with a splash of color. At about $300 a slipcover, you can afford to be creative. In the photo above, Sprezzatura-Fuschia, $147.
