How to Recover a Chair

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Recover a Chair and hope the blog can help you.

A little DIY know-how and a few supplies and tools can transform a ho-hum dining chair into a seat of distinction. Here’s how to recover a chair seat cushion and breathe new life into your decor.

It’s only a matter of time: Sooner or later, your chairs with upholstered seats become worn, dirty, or dated. When you decide those chairs have gotten too worn to keep around, weigh your options. Your instinct may be to donate the chairs or throw them away, but if the chair’s frame remains in good condition, why not consider reupholstering the furniture?

While you can hire a professional for these sorts of repairs, it can be much easier—and yet equally transformative—to recover the chairs yourself, replacing their seat covers with new fabric. Even a novice DIYer can do this project in an afternoon and get great results.

Whether you’d like to learn how to reupholster a dining chair cushion or your favorite heirloom entry bench’s cushion, this guide will teach you how to recover chair seats for a fresh new look.

Here are a few things to know before you get started, including a list of supplies, and the step-by-step instructions for how to reupholster a chair seat.
