ikea ektorp

[disneymagicgirl]

Semi-off topic but not really since ikea is budget furniture.

I am looking for real life pics of the ikea ektorp couch or chair with the nordvalla gray cover. We don't have ikea here so I have to order online and want to make sure I choose the right cover.
Also looking for real life photos with idemo beige and stenasa white covers.

Haven't found much on google so though maybe the budget boarders could help. TIA!

We have the Ektorp sectional and I love it, mine is the blekinge white though. I saw the nordvalla gray in the store recently and it's really nice. I wanted a gray cover for mine but at the time they only had the svanby gray which was dry clean only so I decided against it. Here's a blog with the svanby gray so you can sort of get an idea.

Thanks! I love the svanby gray. Unfortunately it isn't offered anymore. I am worried the nordvalla gray will be really dark. Our house is beach cottage themed. The sofa is a seagrass frame with cream cushions. We have a lot of grey, beige, and light aqua going on. I am just worried the nordvalla gray wouldn't fit in. Wish it wasn't 4 hrs to the nearest ikea!!!

Yeah our Ikea is also 4 hours away so we don't go often. It was so nice when we only lived 15 minutes away from one. The nordvalla gray is definitely darker than the svanby gray.

It's pretty similar in color to my strandmond chair in this picture. I know it's a little hard to see but it's the only picture I have of it on my computer.

Ok, thanks for your help! I will probably have to make a trip to Atlanta.

My house is transitioning from a 'nothing' look to a beach cottage theme, slowly but surely as the budget allows. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see pictures of your living room!

Sorry, we have the Svanby Grey. Could you get the Svanby on ebay or amazon marketplace? There are also a lot of online stores that sell custom Ektorp covers.
