Timeless style
One of the biggest factors that cause waste is constantly changing trends. It affects clothing and furniture as well. Every year people throw away things that are still in good condition and can be used for years to come. One year red is the queen of colors, and the other – not anymore. For instance, the living coral was pushed out and the classic blue became the color of 2020.
Today this problem can be solved with IKEA sofa covers. UK, Belgium, Denmark and many more countries – all are the participants of the waste culture. By not throwing away your sofa, armchair or any other piece of furniture and renewing it with a new cover you are slowly joining the countries with zero-waste culture. It doesn‘t matter if your furniture is actually old or you just want to freshen up the interior with new tones. Made of different fabric blends, covers are the best candidates for the job.
Repurpose your furniture
Sometimes to achieve a new look, it doesn‘t have to be a new expensive thing. Repurposing and DIY-ing your old furniture can become a very fun activity and the rewards are far greater than from shopping. Actually, it can be compared to IKEA sofa covers. UK or any other country – no matter where you are from, you can buy a cover and change the appearance of your furniture. Repainting your wooden table will have the same effect – it will change the cover of your table or a chair and it will look brand new again.
Of course, there are people who have no passion for creative tasks, so it‘s a good idea to find a person who could do it for you. Painters can create masterpieces on your furniture by adding unique patterns. It will always cost you less than buying a new chair.
