Alternate Ikea couch covers

Did you know that there's a maker of Ikea couch slipcovers here in Melbourne? Their name is Comfort Works and they make covers for thirteen different Ikea seating collections in 59 different fabrics. I admit I find the options a little conservative - mostly solid, conventional colours; little that would make the front cover of Real Living - but it's a hell of a lot more choice than Ikea offers!

I wasn't really sold on any of their colours until I revisited this favourite spread from Home Beautiful mag:



Now that is one hell of a couch. The mag credits it to Vampt Vintage Design in Sydney.

I had another search through Comfort Works and found an option in a very similar shade, albeit without the amazing white stripes:



Perhaps I could paint some white stripes on it down the track? Anyways, can I put this shade of green in my lovely room, against the cream and gold curtains?

(Here's the dark grey option for comparison)


Bemz in the US do a wiiide range of options for Ikea sofa slipcovers, but nothing so amazing that I'm willing to pay postage. Even they lack any amazing geometric or MCM-inspired prints. A wide range of shades of grey, though, and even my ideal blue. I can't link to it but it's Teal Blue Tegnér Melange Textured Cotton if you absolutely must see!
