Should you cover the entire dining chair or just the seat? Good question! If you want to show off the nice wood finish of your dinner set, maybe a simple seat cover will be enough. To cover, or not to cover – that is the question

And since they’re so easy to remove and attach, you’ll have it done in no time. By simply changing the dining chair slip cover, you can make sure your chairs match the rest of your interior. Your dining area is a big part of your home, and it should be given the love it deserves. With some chair covers, your dining chairs are quickly and easily included in the remodeling. The linen bedspread gets replaced with a dark, velvety one.

Our sofa cushions get dressed in darker fall shades. Light curtains will have to make way for thicker and heavier ones. We hang up bright, airy curtains, lay out white carpets and maybe put on a nice beige sofa cover.Īnd when fall and winter come along, we do a 180. During spring and summer, we like to surround ourselves with furnishings and colors that show off the warm sunlight. And when that happens, many of us like to switch things up in our homes. Our mood tends to change with the seasons. Choose between long or short covers, depending on what kind of chair you have. And if you fancy adding a different color to your existing palette, the change is an easy one. They come in a variety of colors so you can match them with your other furnishings. Here you’ll find slip covers for our most beloved chairs. When it was finally released from the fabric, I pick out all of the loose threads from both the ribbon and fabric and set the ribbon aside.Are you in the market for long-lasting chair covers that’ll protect the quality of your chairs? That can endure everyday life such as food and wine spills, crayons, breakfast routines, parties, and sloppy kids? Look no further – we’ve got you covered. To break up the monotony, I would leave it every once in a while and then come back to it. It was a bit time consuming so I just cranked up the music and chilled while I was at it. To save the ribbon, I had to use a seam ripper to cut through both straight stitching and serger thread holding it to the fabric. I did a quick Google search and couldn’t find anything comparable online so I don’t have the faintest clue what it’s called or where I might be able to buy it again (if anyone knows, please leave me a comment)! Luckily the manufacturer left enough of the cord to work with before cutting it or I would have had to replace it. This will prevent the cord from accidentally slipping out – trust me on this, you don’t want it to unravel or you will have to feed it back through the teeny tiny slots in the ribbon and that won’t be fun! Tie a knot at the ends of each cord before you remove the staples holding the cord. I removed all the staples using my upholstery staple puller (shown in the second picture). I decided I would reuse the ribbon again you have to be careful not to let the cord slip out of the slots as you remove the staples. The best part of the project is that I reused every bit of original trim that was on the chair (and also used leftover material from another project) so there was very little waste. That was the extent of my upholstery experience before I dove right in to doing this office chair, so if I can do it, you can too! I didn't want to be one of those people that kicked their chair to the curb because of an upholstery failure! I relocated it to my craft studio to give it the Cinderella treatment.įor those of you that are afraid to try upholstery, a dining room chair is a great way to start to get your feet wet. My chair was in no better shape and when the tear in the seat looked like it was trying to run right out of the office, I knew it was time for a makeover.

I'm a messy worker so my office is always in a state of disorganized chaos. It's such a shame in most cases the upholstery has worn but the chair itself is still rock solid. On any given garbage day I can walk around my neighbourhood and find at least one, if not two, discarded office chairs within a few blocks of my house just waiting for the garbage pickup.
