Slipcover For My Ottoman

I have an ottoman in our sitting room/closet/changing area, which is basically one big open area.   I got a white slipcover last year from Ikea for one of our Ektorp chairs, which is in this area.  Love it!  For $25.00 what’s not to love?

The ottoman is on wheels and the fabric has a green stripe.  Very soft and comfy, but I wanted to tie it in with the chair.

Browsing on the Ballard Designs website I came across this ottoman slipcover.  I couldn’t resist for $45.00!   It’s a little bigger than my ottoman, so it’s going to be more of a “loose” slipcover look.

For the money, I think it’s an update that will work!

    It looks really good and incorporates the popular white theme going on right now. So light and fresh!

    Kathy,
    Thank you so much for posting this! Joni Webb at CDT turned me on to Ikea slipcovers as I was looking for a budget friendly alternative for my huge PB couch. The PB white denim slipcover was close to 600 smackeroos! Yikes! That's more than what I paid for the couch 10 years ago but a testament to the PB quality.
    Anywhoo, I ordered 2 (I have 2 teens & a black Lab) Ikea Ektorp white denim couch slipcovers @ $25 each, the quality is every bit as good as PB and they fit perfectly!
    I've wondered about ordering a couple of the Ektorp chairs and ottomans & wondered about the quality of those also. Would love your opinion too!
    Xo Lisa

    Hi Kathy,
    Your chair and ottoman look wonderful together!
    That little corner looks so comfy and I bet you spend time there with a good book and a glass of wine!

    hugs

    Kathy, The slip covers look great. It's amazing how you can change the look of a piece so reasonably. I have been debating back and forth on buying the Ektorp sofa from IKEA. I keep hearing good things about it.

    Kathy honey these covers look really nice. I love that kind of look. Just me I guess or how I want to live.
    I would love to see your whole room because I have no closets in this ole farm house and I have been seriously thinking about turning one end of the huge master bedroom into a closet, dressing area but not sure how I could do it so it would look good
    Hope your having a great weekend
    Love
    Maggie

    The chair & ottoman look casual and cozy - the perfect spot to sit back and relax with a good book :-)

    There was so much to see at IDS, I know I missed a lot of great things. It really was quite overwhelming!
