{ DIY: Sofa with chaise lounge }

A while back I promised you that I would show you my DIY couch down in the basement. I still need some more pillows for it, and I intend to sew some in the same fabric as the couch, but I guess you will get the idea without the pillows as well... So here we go: My DIY chaise lounge sofa....







Since it´s a wooden frame in the mattress, you can attach the legs to the frame. Same with the fabric - you just staple it to the wooden frame, underneath the mattress.. Very easy actually *smile*

So if you need an affordable sofa with chaise lounge, you should try out this DIY. There are a lot of nice furniture fabrics and legs out there to choose from, so the sky is your limit....


Happy Tuesday everyone! I´m going to a Christmas concert today, and are therefore in a extra good mood. I hope your day will be fabulous as well...

  26. Julie: Madrassene er kjøpt på Jysk til 499,- pr stk. De sitter ikke sammen pga. at det skal være lett å gjøre det om til en dobbeltseng, men det er ikke noe problem å sette på et feste mellom f.eks.

  31. Den ser jo super ut! Gulvet ser akkurat så tøft ut som jeg håpet. :) Hi, hi kjenner igjen Tine K-puten. Jeg falt også for den på H&C sin boklansering. Måtte bare bli med hjem!
    Synes de røffe gråfarvene du har valgt er veldig fine.

    Håper du koser deg i adventsdagene. :)

    Klem,

  32. That looks stunning and I can´t realize that you´ve done it by yourself! Really fantastic! And I loooooove the knitted cushion!!!
    So I´m on my way to London in about half an hour! Thank God the weather will be fine! Here we have storm and rain and that´s definetly not the weather I prefer for shopping! Hehehehe....
    Hope your concert was nice!!!
    Have a lovely day!

  34. Amazing! i'm definitely going to try this! By, chance, where did you get the mattresses from and what type were they?

    ReplyDelete

  35. I am also curious as to what type of mattress you used. Are you referring to the box spring? I can't find any mattresses which have an internal frame which also contain coils and padding. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  36. What a fantastic job! I am very much looking to make the same! And I have the same question as above: what matresses have a wooden frame?

    ReplyDelete

  37. Maaike: I´m not sure what they sell in the country where you live, but we often have two or tree mattresses above each other, and the one in the bottom is often with a wooden frame. This isn´t a mattress I would sleep on, but it works perfectly as a sofa.. I only bought the bottom mattress, and I bought a cheap one as well, since we´re not going to sleep on it.

    I hope you will find something similar.
    Best,
    Nina

  38. Hi. I'm from Canada and just came across your site .... love it! Beautiful decorating ideas and much more! Loved the DIY sofa/chaise. A question ... is your sofa table/coffee table pictured in front of your sofa home crafted? Love it!!! Is it made from beachwood or reclaimed timber? I'd love to have any information you could provide on it.

    1. Thank you :)
      The table is made of reclaimed wood from China. It´s bought at a Norwegian store called Home&Cottage.

  39. Where do you find the mattresses with the wooden frame inside? I'm dying to do this project but having a hard time finding the mattresses. Are they specifically named for the type?

    ReplyDelete

  40. Amazing!

  41. I am trying to recreate something similar to this in my apartment. But I have a question about the type of fabric you used. I was browsing the site Stoff & Still which was a challenge because I have no comprehension of that language whatsoever. Could you tell me the name of the type of fabric you used, Or what section you found it under on the website?

    ReplyDelete

  42. Hi Christina,
    I´m sorry but I don´t know the name of the fabric, and I don´t think you will find it online.
    The best is probably to go to a local place where they sell fabric, and find a fabric that can be used as upholstery.

    Best, Nina

  43. We have had an online magazine for three years, and we are looking to spice up the website.
    We've used Joomla, but are now searching for something totally new. Is Wordpress much better than Joomla? I will be adding content rich items on the site: videos, and so on Any suggestions?.
