How Do You Reupholster A Reclining Chair?
Reupholstering a chair is a solid investment decision for the longevity, appearance and future condition of your furniture. Chairs are not difficult to reupholster. The only trick to reupholstering a reclining chair is to pay close attention to the detail around the foot rest. Decide on the type of fabric you want to use for your soon-to-be-new chair. This can be fun, as there are countless colors, designs, patterns and styles of fabric to choose from at the store or online. It’s best to steer clear of light colors such as white, and also from fabrics that have to be maintained rather strictly, such as satin or silk. Measure the dimensions of your recliner from each and every angle and record them. Then, slowly remove the upholstery from your recliner, piece by piece, taking note of tricky angles and how they were folded in and attached. This will make it easier when you put the new fabric on yourself. Save all of the pieces so you know what size each of your new fabric pieces must be.
