Klobo Slipcovers

Back in March I helped my mom makeover several rooms in her New Jersey home to get the place ready to put on the market. At the time she thought she wanted to move to Florida, but since the makeover she's changed her mind about selling the house - at least for now. Although with the recent snow storms maybe she's changed her mind back again :)



Here's the formal living room that we made over -
the two love seats are from Ikea known as KLOBO. They are a beautiful neutral white canvas, but they also show wear very quickly. The cat LOVES these loveseats and the dog loves to rub up against them too. This is one of Ikea's most popular pieces of furniture - with a retail price $150 each it's easy to figure out why - but it's so frustrating that Ikea doesn't have the slipcovers for these Klobo loveseats so I searched the internet to find some.

I found Marlene's Urban Bliss and this woman specializes in making Klobo slip covers!

Marlene does have slipcovers ready to buy on her website, but I didn't like any of her fabric choices (sorry Marlene) - I was looking for something would hold up well with all the wear and tear from the pets - I bought some Crypton fabric in bulk on Ebay and made arrangements with Marlene to make the slipcovers. I shipped her the fabric and she shipped the finished slipcovers to my mom.

I'll hopefully get to see them in person soon, but here's a photo that my mom took to show y'all how nice they turned out -



I wish I had these made the moment we bought those loveseats. In a perfect world I would keep the covers on the loveseats and then remove them whenever the house was being shown for sale. The white canvas pops in the room better, the slip covers certainly match but I like a little more contrast.

My mom loves the slipcovers, I know that fabric was thick and probably really hard to work with but it wasn't a problem for Marlene - she really did a great job! So if you're looking for some slipcovers for your Klobo loveseats - be sure to check out Marlene's Urban Bliss
