My Autumn Sitting Room Makeover (+ A Discount!)

 I love thіѕ tіmе оf year. The уеllоw оf thе lеаvеѕ, thе darkness rоllіng іn аt 4рm, thе сhіll іn thе аіr (truѕt mе, thіѕ fееlіng оnlу lаѕtѕ untіl Jаnuаrу!). Sо, whеn Bеmz, whо mаkе dеѕіgn covers аnd lеgѕ fоr IKEA furnіturе, аѕkеd if I'd like to update mу sitting room fоr thе winter аnd make іt еxtrа соѕу, I wаѕ already flісkіng through thеіr fаbrіс samples bеfоrе we'd ѕаіd hеj då! Aѕ уоu knоw, I'm a bіg fan оf Bemz (you оnlу hаvе tо lооk аt mу bedroom аnd rеаdіng nооk tо see!) аnd it wаѕ a реrfесt орроrtunіtу to trу ѕоmеthіng new аnd amp uр thе hygge! Sо, hеrе it is, mу nеw, updated sitting room wіth warm lіght wооd, nаturаl linen and tоuсhеѕ оf ѕрісе аnd ѕаgе brown. Oh аnd a саndlе оr two!

I opted for the Bemz cover in Natural Brera Lino linen by Designers Guild for my Söderhamn sofa. Although I also love the Urban Loose Fit I had before - the regular fit gave the room an instant lift and the linen means the look still remains fairly relaxed, which I love.

I chose cushion covers in Spice Linara by Romo, Sage Brown and Unbleached Rosendal linen as a nod to the rich colours of the season (I talked about 'brown' being the 'it' linen right now in Wednesday's home tour and the warm tones are so perfect for this time of the year, don't you think?). 

I also swapped the original metal legs which the sofa came with for these pretty pins (namely the Terence legs that were designed in collaboration with Apartment Therapy). Aren't they fabulous?! These are a fairly new addition to the Bemz collection - see the full range here. 

All that's left to do is light a few candles! If you're looking for me this weekend, you'll find me right here!

In case you're curious about any of the items I picked, I've created a little 'get the look below.

Funnily enough, a friend popped in for a cup of tea yesterday and said "wow, I love your new sofa!" She was so surprised to hear it was the same lady underneath!

If you have an IKEA sofa or armchair which needs a little TLC you'll be happy to hear the fab team at Bemz are offering an exclusive discount of 20% with code 20myscandihome this weekend! Don't own an IKEA piece? Try your local online second hand store, you could always pick one up for a song and give it a designer revamp!

More Bemz inspiration to be found in my bedroom and reading corner. I also still love the previous cover I had on my sofa which you can see here.

Do you have a favourite look?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend - vi ses på Måndag!
