Scandinavian interior design has taken the world by storm with its blend of minimalism, warmth, and functionality. It's no surprise that the IKEA Vimle sofa has become a staple in Scandi-style homes. Its clean lines and comfort make it the perfect foundation for a stylish, cozy, and practical living room.
But what truly elevates the look and feel of your space is the choice of cover. A well-chosen Vimle sofa cover not only protects your furniture but also defines the tone of your interior. In this post, we’ll explore how our custom Vimle covers at Covereo can help you achieve a truly Scandinavian aesthetic — all while keeping your home practical and family-friendly.
What Defines Scandinavian Interior Style?
Scandinavian design is about simplicity, light, and calm. Rooted in the harsh Nordic winters, it favors natural light, neutral palettes, and practical functionality. Here's what sets it apart:
- Minimalist design with clean lines and clutter-free spaces
- Neutral and earthy tones like whites, greys, and soft beiges
- Natural materials such as wood, cotton, and wool
- A sense of warmth through textiles and soft textures
- Functionality meets comfort, without unnecessary ornamentation
The IKEA Vimle sofa fits seamlessly into this style — and the right Vimle sofa cover can enhance it even more.
Why the IKEA Vimle Sofa Is a Scandinavian Staple
The Vimle is one of IKEA’s most versatile and timeless sofa series. With its soft cushions, understated design, and generous seating, it suits both small apartments and spacious homes.
Here’s why it pairs perfectly with Scandinavian interiors:
- Understated design that blends effortlessly with minimalist decor
- Comfortable and deep seating for relaxed family living
- Neutral base that acts as a canvas for your personal style
By changing or customizing your Vimle sofa cover, you can refresh your living space without replacing the entire sofa.

A Vimle cover is more than just a protective layer — it’s a powerful design tool. At Covereo, we offer a curated selection of Vimle covers designed with Scandinavian aesthetics in mind.
Here's how the right cover helps you achieve that Nordic vibe:

Scandinavian color palette
- Matte Textures: Opt for matte, soft-touch finishes that mimic the natural softness of cotton or wool (without needing high-maintenance care).
- Tone-on-Tone Style: Stick with subtle contrasts — a light grey Vimle cover against white walls, or beige paired with oak furniture.
All our Vimle sofa covers are available in timeless shades that fit into the clean, peaceful look of Scandinavian homes.

Keeping It Clean: Practical Tips for Vimle Covers
One of the best things about our Vimle sofa covers is how easy they are to maintain — and that’s essential in any Scandinavian home where simplicity and cleanliness matter.
Here’s how to keep your cover looking its best:
- Vacuum regularly with a brush attachment to remove dust and pet hair
- Spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent
- For deeper cleans:
- Zip all sections closed
- Wash separately at 30°C on a gentle cycle
- Never tumble dry – air dry flat or on multiple lines
- Slightly damp? Place it on the sofa to dry into shape — just don’t sit yet!
Our IKEA Vimle covers are designed to hold their shape and color when cared for properly. Plus, by avoiding harsh chemicals and dryers, you extend the life of your cover.
A Style That Evolves with You
Scandinavian interiors are not static — they evolve with the seasons and with your life. That’s the beauty of having a removable Vimle sofa cover: you can refresh your space without redesigning the whole room.
Swap out your cover for a lighter shade in spring, go deeper and warmer for winter, or just refresh the look when you need a change. It’s the sustainable way to keep your home feeling new.

Whether you're furnishing a small city flat or a bright family home, Vimle sofa covers from Covereo offer a simple way to bring Scandinavian charm into your living space.
