A small classic with great potential: the pouf

The Pouf has always been one of the undisputed protagonists among furnishing accessories . You can find it in all shapes, colors and sizes. Its name, of French origins, evokes the sound that this curious living room accessory produces when, after a long day, you decide to give yourself a little relaxation by lying down on it.

What is special about a pouf that is so loved by everyone?

What makes it indispensable is its ability to adapt, there is something for all tastes! Large, small, round or square but above all you will find on the market suitable for every style and design, such as bean bag poufs or container poufs, in short, you have to indulge yourself ...

Almost as comfortable as an armchair, but with many functions. Who has never made objects disappear by placing them inside a pouf container ? From a simple seating element to a footrest , from a coffee table to a decorative object , it does not even distinguish between internal and external environments. With us at Arketicom today you will see how easy and fun it is to give new life to an old pouf by changing the cover.

Pouf covers : how to give life back to your old footstool

The pouf can really be reborn in one move or by choosing the right cover ! Forget all those cumbersome processes that involve DIY .

Focus instead on: colors, style and sizes of your piece of furniture , we make the lining!

Choose the suitable upholstery fabric

The main fabrics used to make industrial linings belong to two types: artificial or natural. Our family comes from a long tradition of craftsmen, in Arketicom there is a constant interest in nature and the environment.

In our store you will find only quality fabrics such as stone washed cotton , fabrics with twisted weaves, microfibre, water-repellent fabrics for the outdoors , eco-leather or imitation leather and even bycast bio-leather ; the latter comes from bio-based products, such as plants and other materials .

How to choose the fabric for pouf covers

The choice of the type of fabric to use and its color concern the personal sphere, but a tip, also think about the function of the pouf and the environment in which you are going to place it. If it has to be a purely aesthetic accessory, faux leather as a covering will make daily washing more practical (a damp cloth will suffice). On the contrary, if you use your poufs a lot , the choice to cover them with a cover with a zip or a hood in fabric will bring a breath of freshness, being able to take it off and put it in the washing machine in no time.

With our accessories, you will always have tailor-made solutions for every type of pouf on the market.

How to take measurements of the lining

Once the color and material have been chosen, all that remains is to take a centimeter to measure the sides of our old pouf . It is very important to take into account the finished measurements or without exceeding or limiting the final measurements and therefore note the correct dimensions of the pouf to be renewed. But how to avoid making mistakes? Here are the steps to follow, step by step.

Take the precise measurements of the ottoman

how to take the measurements of the ottoman

Height : place the tape measure one centimeter from the floor and measure the value in cm at the height of the upper seam.

Width : in the case of a square pouf cover it is the distance between the side seams. If it is a rectangular pouf , there will be two sides to measure.

Diameter : in the case of a round or cylinder pouf cover, take the measurement by placing the tape measure on the top of the pouf between one seam and the next (passing through the centre).

Once the measurement has been carried out, it will be the task of our laboratory , made up of expert craftsmen, to calculate the tolerances to be given to the new lining so that it does not appear too adherent or, on the contrary, too abundant.

Send us a photo or a draft if possible: it will be easier for us to understand which structure it is; in this way we can help you find the best solution together.

In summary, if you think that the standard solutions on the market are not suitable or are not suitable for covering all your needs , take the measurements well and we'll take care of the rest ...

    Articolo fantastico, alla fine ho deciso di acquistarlo da voi e sono rimasta estremamente contenta. Il copri pouf calza a pennello pur essendo il tessuto non elasticizzato. Si vede che sapete fare bene il vostro mestiere. Grazie!


  • LAURA DANTE

    Salve, bell’articolo e bel servizio quello che offrite. Potreste realizzare anche rivestimenti molto grandi? Ho un pouf di grandi dimensioni, la marca che lo produce non fornisce questo servizio. La prossima volta infatti sceglierò gente come voi perché alla fine dei conti mi costerà di più rinnovare la poltrona che acquistarne una nuova. Attendo vostre, grazie
