The IKEA Söderhamn sofa is a popular choice for its modular design and affordable price. However, its exposed legs can be a design drawback for some. A simple solution is adding a stylish skirt, which can instantly elevate the sofa's look and create a more cohesive feel in your living room. This easy DIY project allows you to customize your Söderhamn with fabric and a style of your choice.
What you will need:
- Fabric of your choice
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
- Sewing machine (optional, hand-sewing is possible)
- Pins
- Velcro strips
Step-by-step guide:
- Measure: Carefully measure the perimeter of your Söderhamn sofa. Add extra length for seam allowance and overlap. Determine the desired drop length of your skirt.
- Cut the fabric: Cut your chosen fabric to the measurements you determined. If you're using patterned fabric, ensure the pattern is aligned correctly.
- Hem the edges: Fold over and hem the edges of your fabric to prevent fraying. You can use a sewing machine or sew by hand.
- Attach Velcro: Sew one side of the Velcro strip along the top edge of the fabric skirt. Attach the corresponding Velcro strips along the bottom frame of your Söderhamn sofa.
- Attach the skirt: Press the Velcro strips together to secure the skirt to the sofa frame. Adjust and smooth out any wrinkles.
This DIY skirt is a removable, no-sew option allowing for easy cleaning and changes according to your mood or season. You can easily swap out the skirt for a different fabric or color for a quick refresh.
