IKEA Footstool Covers

IKEA footstool covers can give one of the room’s most useful small pieces a new feel: the place for tired feet, extra seating, trays, books and everyday living. With the right fabric and colour, your footstool can look polished, useful and loved again.

Fabrics and colours available for IKEA footstool covers

A footstool may be smaller than a sofa or an armchair, but its fabric still matters. It often sits close to the centre of the room, where it is easy to notice, so covers for IKEA footstools should either blend quietly into the room or become a small, confident accent.

At Comfortly, you can choose from 100 fabric and colour variations, giving you room to find an IKEA footstool cover that suits both the furniture and the way it is used. For a soft, natural look, Pure French Linen or Panama Cotton can bring a relaxed texture. For busier homes, Heavy Duty, Gaia or Cashmere Blends may be worth considering. You can also choose by everyday need. If your footstool is often used by pets, pet friendly fabric options can be a practical direction. If drinks, trays or snacks are often nearby, stain proof fabrics may help the cover feel more suitable for daily life.

Many Comfortly fabrics are available across different furniture covers too. If you fall in love with a particular texture or colour for your footstool, you can often use it for other IKEA pieces as well. That makes it easier to create a coordinated look across the room, or to build a more playful contrast with different colours, textures and patterns.

How to choose the right IKEA footstool cover

Finding the right IKEA footstool cover starts with the exact model you own. Some footstools and ottomans look similar at first glance, but the cover needs to match the shape, cushion style and product listing. Before choosing your fabric, check a few details:

• Confirm the IKEA model or series name.

• Compare your footstool with the product images.

• Check whether it is a footstool, ottoman, stool or bench-style piece.

• Look at the cushion shape, legs and storage details where relevant.

• If you are unsure, feel free to send us a clear photo of your piece and we’ll help you identify its model.

IKEA ottoman cover options for everyday use

An IKEA ottoman cover is not only there to hide worn fabric. It can change the surface that handles resting feet, folded blankets, magazines, trays and the small daily habits that make a room feel lived in.

Some footstools sit in quiet corners and are used gently as part of a reading chair or bedroom setup. In those spaces, a softer or more luxurious fabric direction can make the piece feel warmer and more inviting.

In a busy living room, your IKEA foot stool cover may need to work harder. Comfortly offers fabric options for both calm everyday use and more active homes. Depending on how the footstool is used, you may want to look at durable, pet-friendly, scratch-resistant or stain-conscious fabrics, so the cover feels right not only on the day it arrives, but in the rhythm of daily living too.

Comfortly footstool covers for popular models

Covers for IKEA footstools should stay model-specific if you want the result to look natural on the furniture. The fabric should look like it belongs to the footstool, not like it is simply sitting on top.

The range of Comfortly footstool covers includes covers for well-known IKEA footstool and ottoman models, including EKTORP, KIVIK, STRANDMON, POÄNG and many more. Once you know your model, you can focus on the more enjoyable part: choosing the fabric, colour and texture that suit your room.

Refresh the footstool, not the whole furniture set

Sometimes, the smallest details wear out the fastest. A footstool is one of them: often where feet rest, pets settle, trays are placed and blankets are dropped at the end of the evening. The frame may still be solid and useful, while the fabric no longer suits the room. That does not mean the whole piece needs to go.

IKEA footstool covers can give the same piece a fresh surface, a better colour and a texture that feels more at home in your space. It is a simple way to keep the furniture that still works, while making it feel ready for many more evenings, coffee trays and cosy corners.

Match your footstool with sofas and armchairs

A footstool often works best when it feels connected to the furniture around it. It might sit in front of a sofa, beside an armchair or between two seats as a flexible extra surface. The right 

IKEA foot stool cover can make that small piece feel like part of the whole room, rather than an afterthought.

For a calm, Scandinavian-inspired or minimalist interior, choosing the same or a closely related fabric can create a softer, more harmonious look. Neutral tones, natural textures and gentle colour shifts work well when you want the footstool to blend into the room quietly. In a more eclectic, modern or expressive space, contrast can be more interesting: a deeper shade, richer texture or patterned fabric can turn the footstool into a small but confident accent.

Comfortly ottoman covers do not have to match everything; they simply need to make sense within the room. A matching cover can make the space feel calmer, while a contrasting one can add rhythm, character and a more designed feel.

Let the fabric meet your room first

Even the same fabric colour can look different depending on the screen you use to view it. It can also change in your own home, where daylight, wall colour, flooring and nearby furniture all affect how the shade appears. If you want the decision to feel right from the start, ordering fabric samples before choosing the full cover is a useful step. Samples let you see the colour in real life, feel the texture and compare it beside your sofa, rug or armchair.

FAQ

What are the best IKEA footstool covers?

The best IKEA footstool covers are the ones that match your exact IKEA model and suit how the footstool is used. A quiet bedroom footstool may suit a different fabric direction from a living-room ottoman used every day. Fabric choice matters because footstools can wear differently depending on traffic, pets, spills and daily habits.

How do I find the right cover for my IKEA footstool?

To find the right cover for your IKEA footstool, start by confirming the model or series name and comparing your furniture with the product listing. Pay attention to the cushion shape, base, legs and storage details where relevant. If you are unsure, Comfortly can help identify the model from a clear photo.

Can I replace my IKEA footstool cover?

Yes, you can replace your IKEA footstool cover if your model is supported and you choose the correct product option. A replacement cover can refresh worn, faded or dated fabric while keeping the footstool that still works in your room.

Which IKEA footstools can be covered?

Many IKEA footstools and ottomans can be covered, but the cover must match the exact model and configuration you own. Comfortly’s range includes cover options for well-known models such as EKTORP, KIVIK, STRANDMON and POÄNG. For other IKEA footstools, check the available range or ask Comfortly for help with model identification.

Are IKEA footstool covers washable?

Some IKEA footstool covers may be washable depending on the fabric, but care details should always be checked before ordering. Different fabrics have different properties, so it is not safe to assume every cover can be cared for in the same way. Fabric samples can help you compare texture and practicality before deciding.
