How to prolong the life of your dining furniture
How to prolong the life of your dining furniture
From spills and stains to everyday wear, your tables and chairs are under constant pressure. And caring for different materials can be a grind. Here’s how to simplify things to help prolong the life of your dining furniture so it stays stylish and functional for years.
Use table mats to protect surfaces from lively, playful kids (and adults)
Protecting the table is a must when it’s time for your child to eat. And you know what little hands can get up to, so why not try a place mat? We have fun and functional place mats made of tough silicone, with a playful design of a cat’s face and ears. It’s easy to wipe dry or rinse off, or simple toss in the dishwasher. You never know, maybe your kid will be so interested in the cat mat there won’t be any time for mischief. You wish.
Stop hot pots damaging surfaces – the importance of heat-resistant mats
Tired of ugly burns and mark on your tables and kitchen worktops? You can protect your tables, tablecloths and surfaces from heat stains by using our pot stands made from natural cork. Is your pot too big for one stand? No problem, simply put all 3 of them next to each together. Three still not enough? Then just get another set. There isn’t a pot made that we don’t have enough pot stands for.
Pet-proof your furniture from all those loving teeth and claws
Cats are family and they love to make their mark on your home too. Only sometimes the results can be a little less than welcome. Our scratch mats in jute, sisal and cotton will quickly transform your table leg into a home-gym where you cat can scratch, stretch and sharpen its claws. The sewn-in straps make it easy to attach our cat scratching mat to your table leg and it’s strangely stylish somehow. You get less damage, and your cat gets sharper claws. The only ones who might not be happy are the mice.
Tightening screws and bolts to prevent wobbly chair syndrome
Is there anything more irritating than a wobbly chair? These chairs offer value plus style, versatility and lasting quality with straightforward design and not a wobble in sight. They’re comfortable, lightweight and can be easily stacked to save space. You can always get spare parts if you need them, in wobble-free flat packs. And with the iconic and practical IKEA tools at your disposal, you can tighten the wobble out of your entire dining area. Well, the IKEA part anyway.
Rotate the position of your chairs so they don’t get worn, faded… or bored
Dining chairs often get uneven use in homes where there are more chairs than family members. We all have our favourite places to sit, right? We have chairs with sturdy cotton and polyester fabric covers, but you can make them last even longer by rotating your chairs around the table to spread wear and tear more evenly. Chairs are family members too, they’ll thank you for the change. Rotating them also helps prevent chair covers from fading due to directional sunlight in the home. Or at least evens it out, so your chairs look like they belong together. Just like you do.
Chair pads with removeable and washable covers
A little bit of cushion can add a lot of comfort. Our chair pad pairs up perfectly with most modern-style dining chairs and is available in different colours so you can pick your favourite one. The chair pad provides cushioned comfort, a simple, modern expression and anti-slip dots on the underside keep the cushion in place. The removable and washable cover makes it easy to clean too. Turns any chair into a pleasure to sit on.
