Blogger Krys, of Melodrama, bought a white Karlstad sofa, which she found in the clearance section of IKEA and turned it into the millennial pink couch of dreams.
The Karlstad sofa comes with a removeable cover, so she decided to dye it... however, the first attempt didn't go too well.
She used a fabric dye called 'Petal Pink', but it turned out to be too bright. She decided to use a colour remover to turn it back to white and then started over again.
This time she used a mix of 'Petal Pink', 'Lemon Yellow' and 'Tan'... and it came out absolutely perfect.
Speaking to HouseBeautiful.com, she said: "I can't tell you the exact ratios of these colours that I used for my shade because I was constantly adjusting and testing the colour.
"I want to say it was something like 4 parts pink, 1/2 part yellow, 1/8 part tan, but I'm not 100% sure so don't come back yelling at me if yours turns out gross.
"I also diluted it a lot more than the first time so the colour would be more pastel."
Kyrs also added a little bit of class to the couch, by spray-painting the legs white and gold, and adding buttons onto the cushions.
We've found a few similar couches on the Irish IKEA site and you can find one here.
