How To Cover Dining Room Chairs

If you're looking for a way to update your dining room decor without spending a lot of money, recovering your dining room chairs is a great option. It's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours, and it can make a big impact on the look of your dining room.

Here are the steps on how to cover dining room chairs:

1. Gather your materials.

You will need the following materials:

* Fabric of your choice * Scissors * Staple gun * Staples * Measuring tape * Pencil or fabric marker

2. Remove the old fabric.

Using a staple remover, carefully remove the old fabric from the chair. Be careful not to damage the chair frame.

3. Cut the new fabric.

Measure the chair seat and cut the new fabric to size. Leave about 2 inches of extra fabric around the edges.

4. Wrap the fabric around the chair seat.

Center the fabric on the chair seat and wrap it around the edges. Pull the fabric taut and staple it in place.

5. Trim the excess fabric.

Use scissors to trim the excess fabric around the edges of the chair seat.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the chair back.

If your chair has a back, repeat steps 3-5 to cover the back of the chair.

7. Enjoy your newly covered chairs!

Your dining room chairs are now covered and ready to enjoy.

Here are some additional tips for covering dining room chairs:

* If you are using a patterned fabric, make sure to center the pattern on the chair seat. * When stapling the fabric in place, be sure to pull the fabric taut so that it is wrinkle-free. * If you are covering a chair with arms, you will need to cut the fabric in two pieces. One piece will cover the seat and the other piece will cover the back and arms. * If you are not confident in your sewing skills, you can hire a professional upholsterer to cover your dining room chairs.
