Bespoke MILA sofa in ivory washed linen, Bohemian version: craftsmanship, contrast and soul

Some shades bring warmth to a room without ever trying to impose themselves. Ivory is one of them. Softer than white, brighter than natural, it occupies that rare space between absolute neutrality and the warmth of rich colours. The  bespoke MILA sofa in ivory washed linen  by Bérengère Leroy has understood this: edged with black velvet, finished with black stitching and covered with a matching sofa cover, it combines the softness of ivory with the elegant restraint of black for a result that is both Bohemian and sophisticated. Entirely handmade and fully customisable, it is made to your chosen length — the sofa your living room has been waiting for.

Ivory washed linen: a shade that enhances everything

Understanding the difference between ivory and white

Ivory is not white that has faded. It is a colour in its own right, with subtly creamy, warm undertones that place it among natural shades. Where white can sometimes feel cold or clinical, ivory immediately brings an organic warmth  that echoes natural materials — wood, rattan, stone and raw linen.

In washed linen, this shade takes on even greater depth. The fabric’s washed finish gives it a  slightly crumpled texture and a soft, velvety feel  that enhance the natural, authentic character of the colour. No two ivory washed linen sofas are alike: they live, breathe and change with the daylight.

Ivory: a colour that pairs with everything

Ivory is one of the easiest shades to incorporate into an interior, as it harmonises with almost everything:

• Ivory + black  : the classic contrast par excellence, graphic and confident — the very approach taken with this MILA model and its black velvet edging


• Ivory + light wood  : for a bright, pared-back Scandinavian interior


• Ivory + terracotta + rust  : for a warm palette with Mediterranean accents


• Ivory + plum + gold  : for a rich, enveloping living room in autumnal shades


• Ivory + sage green + rattan  : for a natural, botanical and calming Bohemian interior

The finishes of the ivory MILA: where detail becomes a signature

Black velvet edging: a considered contrast

Delivery is  black velvet edging  running along the sofa frame and cushions is much more than a decorative finish. It is a strong visual line that precisely defines the sofa’s silhouette, creating a clean, elegant frame around the softness of the ivory. With its rich, luminous texture, velvet is the perfect foil to the matte, natural quality of washed linen.

This contrast of ivory and black velvet immediately places the MILA in a  Bohemian chic  style — neither too restrained nor too eccentric — that works just as well in a contemporary loft as in a characterful home with exposed beams.

Black stitching: a couture finish

The ivory MILA sofa also stands out for its  black stitching finish  on the sofa cover. These visible stitches make a direct reference to textile craftsmanship and the tradition of bespoke clothing: they speak to attentive workmanship, where every gesture matters. Far from being a merely functional detail, they contribute fully to the sofa’s aesthetic, giving it a  couture quality and a distinctive personality.

This finish can also be customised: choose a different thread colour to soften the contrast or, conversely, heighten it to suit your taste and interior.

What about adding piping?

Alongside the edging and stitching, a third finishing option is available to you:  coloured piping  around the cushions or sofa cover. Contrasting piping adds a further note of definition to every edge of the sofa, creating an even more graphic composition.

Terracotta piping against ivory? Plum piping for a romantic touch? Natural piping for a more subtle effect? The combinations are many, and each choice gives the sofa a different character. See, for example, how ivory piping enhances the  MILA sofa in azure blue washed linen  — the reverse approach is just as appealing.

50 Bellagio washed linen colours: ivory is just the beginning

An exceptionally broad palette

While ivory is the shade shown on this model, the MILA sofa can be made in any of the  50 colours in the Bellagio washed linen collection. This is an unusual degree of freedom for a bespoke sofa, allowing you to find the exact shade to suit your space, light and existing palette.

A few ideas that work particularly well in a Bohemian setting, in the spirit of this ivory model:

• White washed linen  : for an even brighter effect — discover it on the  MILA in white washed linen, Classic version


• Natural washed linen  : for a warmer, sandier tone, very close to ivory but with golden undertones


• Khaki washed linen  : for a Bohemian feel more rooted in nature — see the  MILA in khaki, Classic version


• Azure-blue washed linen  : for a bright Mediterranean shade — the  MILA in azure blue  is a lovely example


• Old-rose washed linen  : for a romantic, gentle living room

Made entirely to measure

Your choice of length, adjustable depth

The ivory MILA sofa is made  to your chosen length. Whether you need a compact 1.80 m two-seater or a generous 3.20 m family sofa, the workshop will accommodate your space without any additional charge. All you need is the measurement of your room.

Delivery is  The standard depth is 100 cm, a generous measurement that ensures a comfortable, enveloping seat. It can be increased or reduced to suit your preferences: a depth of 85 cm for a room with good circulation or a compact flat, or 110 cm for a spacious living room where you want to maximise comfort.

If you would like to take personalisation even further, the MILA collection also allows you to create a  bespoke corner sofa  from the same armless modules, with L-shaped configurations, chaise longues and footstools.

Fully removable covers: practical every day

All the covers on the ivory MILA are  fully removable-cover. The sofa cover and the seat and back cushion covers are easy to remove and can be machine-washed at a low temperature. This is an essential feature for a sofa made for everyday living: it can be cared for with ease while retaining its impeccable appearance.

MILA in ivory in your home: three settings

The bohemian Haussmann-style apartment

In an apartment with high ceilings, herringbone parquet, mouldings and an antique fireplace, the MILA in ivory finds its natural place. Its bohemian chic character complements the architectural heritage without ever seeming out of place. Add plum velvet cushions, a Berber rug and articulated brass lighting to complete the picture.

The country house in wabi-sabi style

Japanese wabi-sabi celebrates imperfection, nature and the patina of time. Ivory washed linen, with its natural creases and soft nuances, is an emblematic fabric of this philosophy. In a country house with limewashed walls, rustic solid wood furniture and handcrafted ceramics, the MILA in ivory feels like an entirely natural centrepiece for living.

The contemporary black-and-white loft

The contrast between ivory and black velvet on the MILA fits perfectly into a confidently monochrome interior. Set on a polished anthracite concrete floor, opposite a white brick wall and alongside matt black metal furniture, the ivory sofa brings a softness to this graphic setting — softening it without diminishing its industrial character.
