The Perfect Family Sofa

Decor

 A huge thanks to our friends at IKEA U.S. for sponsoring todays post. I am a proud IKEA Brand Ambassadör.

The Perfect Family Sofa

 

Hi, friends!

I am so excited to share today’s post, because I’ve officially found the perfect family sofa! To say that I fell in love once I saw the FÄRLÖV sectional 5 seat sofa is an understatement. The couch we had was the lovely EKTORP Sofa, which I really loved, but it just wasn’t enough seating for our family.

As you know my husband and I have two kiddos, two dogs, and three cats – so we’re definitely a house full. I wanted a sofa that everyone could snuggle in on for family movie nights – and the FÄRLÖV sectional is it! Ready to see it in our living room? Let’s go!

The Perfect Family Sofa

Isn’t it just gorgeous? This is truly our dream couch and there are several reasons why, not just because it’s beautiful. It also checks off every “want” we had, and here’s why:

5 Reasons the FÄRLÖV Sectional is the Perfect Family Sofa:

  1. It’s big enough for everyone. This is the first thing on my list because it’s one of the most important. Having a sofa that can accommodate everyone in the family is so important. I cannot tell you the difference it’s made in our family nights, there are just so many comfortable spots on this couch.
  2. It’s customizable. The sectional frame can be configured with the sofa on the left or the right to fit your living space. We have the sofa (longer end) on the right, and if we change our mind later or need to reconfigure, it’s no problem. I love having that kind of flexibility wth a piece of furniture.
  3. Removable, washable covers! Yes, mothers of the world rejoice! One of my favorite things about the sofa we had before were the removable covers, so when I saw that this sofa had them too, I knew it was meant to be. When you are raising messy boys and messy dogs, you need washable covers. And I can tell you that these are so simple to wash right in the washing machine, dry, and put back onto the couch. And each time you wash the covers, they just get softer! Having removable covers that you can wash for whatever reason is a huge game changer and it’s what has allowed me to purchase a light colored couch and feel comfortable with the whole family (pets included) to lounge on it. You can choose between Flodafors beige or Flodafors white (we have the beige).
  4. Tall legs in solid wood. Having taller legs on the couch makes it easy to vacuum and reach toys and other things hiding under the sofa. I can now easily clean under the sofa without having to lift it up or move it, it’s such a handy feature. And if my kiddos drop a toy and it rolls under or behind the sofa, it’s not the end of the world because they can easily reach it! There must be a parent somewhere reading this who is excited about the taller legs, too, right?
  5. 10-year limited warranty & Budget. This sofa has such a great price point and is way less expensive than any other sofa I’ve seen of this size. To be able to purchase a customizable sectional for under 5k seemed impossible, but the FÄRLÖV does it for under $1,500 AND it comes with a warranty! Purchasing a new sofa is a large expense for a family, s0 the fact that it comes with a 10-year limited warranty offers up a huge peace of mind.

I’d also like to note that this sofa contains renewable material (cotton and linen) which comes from sustainable sources. This means that the cotton is either recycled, or grown with less water, less fertilizers and less pesticides, while increasing profit margins for the farmers. And being from a farming family, this is something that I can really respect and appreciate.

And I wanted to include this statement from the designer of the sofa, because it perfectly sums up the thought behind the design, and all of the individual elements that were considered before it was even dreamt up:

“Sofas are tactile and aesthetic. You touch them. Sit and lie on them. Rest, hang out and live with them as close and intense as your favourite clothes. So when I designed FÄRLÖV sofa, I wanted to combine a welcoming shape with embracing comfort and create a sofa that is the centre of attention but also spacious, soft and comfortable for the entire family. In everything from covers, size and construction, the feeling is that this sofa takes care of you. Like a good friend.” – Francis Cayouette (designer of the FÄRLÖV sofa)

What does YOUR family sofa look like? Are you due for an upgrade, too? If so, be sure to check out the FÄRLÖV Sectional 5 seat sofa at your local IKEA, or you can shop it online here! Now our family looks forward to all gathering together on this couch after a long and busy day, and I’m so thankful we found it at IKEA – it’s a total game changer to family time!

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
