Choosing the perfect armchair is more than just picking a seat – it’s about comfort, style, and long-term value. Ikea offers timeless pieces like Ektorp, Friheten, Poang, Strandmon, and more. But what truly makes an armchair stand out in your home is the option to customize it. That’s where Masters of Covers comes in with beautiful IKEA armchair covers that elevate every piece into a design statement.
Start with your comfort needs
Before choosing your new armchair, consider what you expect from it. Should it have a specific style? Minimalist or more classic? Do you want to relax, unwind, read books, or nap in it? This matters greatly – the larger and more cozy it is, the more comfortable it will be. Or perhaps you already have a sofa from a specific IKEA collection and want to match it with an armchair? Answering these questions will help you determine which armchair is perfect for you.
Measure your space
An armchair should fit the room – physically and visually. That’s why measuring your room is so important.
Start with deciding where to place your armchair. Then measure the space. Remember not to arrange your furniture too tightly together. You should leave some space between them. This will allow you to move around more freely.
Match your style
Each Ikea model suits different interiors:
• Ektorp – cozy, traditional, homely
• Friheten – modern and multi-functional
• Strandmon – vintage charm with a high back
• Poang – Scandinavian simplicity
No matter your style – boho, modern, minimalist, classic – there’s an Ikea armchair for you.
Consider durability and materials
Think about who will use the chair daily:
• Kids or pets? Choose something durable and easy to wash. Polyester Petite is perfect for children – it’s extremely durable and can be machine washed. Premium Velvet will be perfect for pet owners due to its scratch-resistance ability.
• Want long-lasting fabric? Go for high-quality and natural Premium Cotton, durable Polyester or Polyester Petite.
• Prefer luxury? Velvet, Premium Velvet and Corduroy will match your highest standards.
