Replacing the STRANDMON cover: a quick walkthrough
Refreshing your STRANDMON cover only takes an evening, yet it changes the whole look of the armchair. Opt for a made-to-measure cover in a fabric you love, and skip buying new furniture altogether. Below we cover measuring up, choosing fabric and fitting the cover, no tools required.
What this guide covers:
- Working out which part, the armchair or the footstool, needs its cover replaced
- Why getting the measurements right matters before ordering
- Choosing fabric from over 120 options, with free samples to help narrow it down
- A walkthrough showing exactly how to remove the old cover and fit the new one
Checking which piece you need: armchair or footstool
The armchair cover for IKEA STRANDMON measures 82 cm wide, 96 cm deep and 101 cm high. The footstool cover for IKEA STRANDMON measures 60 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 44 cm high.
- Choose the same fabric for both pieces for a matching, coordinated set.
- Or deliberately combine two fabrics for a bit of contrast in the room.
