How to Upholster a Chair?
There are several ways for the non-professional upholster to ‘cheat’ if you will, when it comes to upholstery. It can be a very time consuming task, and a certain level of practical skill and manual dexterity is required. So, this is why many people will take shortcuts when it comes to redecorating old furniture. • First find a chair that has some unattractive upholstery that is definitely in need of a make-over. • Dismantle the chair into separate parts, this will enable you to get a good look at what work is required and take some measurements of the amount of fabric required. • Visit your local fabric store, find a design that’s appealing to you and will fit in well with your interior décor. Hand over the measurements you made earlier to the sales assistant. They will then cut the length of the fabric off. • Now go back to the chair and make sure the fabric has been stripped off. We would recommend you draw a plan of the chair before you start to attach the new fabric onto the chair, make sure you include all parts of the chair that’s going to be covered – including the back and front arms • Make sure you use what is termed within the industry as a “stretcher”- basically, this is scrap material which is sewn to the bottom of the fabric pieces and aids you in getting a better cut. • Finally when you’ve cut out the new fabric you’re going to put on the chair, make sure it’s as taught as possible, and then before securing it ensure any staples or tacks are going to be covered up by the panels. This goes to show amateurs can upholster their furniture, but for more complex items of furniture that require greater skill and precision it’s always best to enlist the help of professionals.
