Easy Office Chair Facelift!

Office chairs can get a lot of use and abuse, leading them to look pretty tired and drab after a short while.  Often, the boring upholstery fabrics they come with (navy, black, and more navy) do not mesh with your super-fun personality! There are any number of reasons to re-vamp your office chair. I'm here to tell you it's dead simple and can be done in an hour or two.

Step 1: Find a good specimen!

I had a great office chair but the cover was badly stained from too many lunches enjoyed at my desk.  I had some fabric and a bit of spare time and here's what happened!

Looks easy & fun to work on it, Thanks for sharing :) Will it be work on leather instead of fabric?

If you had a half decent stapler, leather shouldn't be a problem. We repurposed a leather jacket to cover a dirt bike seat and our stapler handled it fine.

Hey, I actually saw similar steps on this before. Just one suggestion : You can cover the cushion with some plastics before putting on the fabric. This will make the chair water proof! The next time you replace the fabric again, you will be glad the plastic protected the cushion material inside ;-)

YES! Awesome idea!

That fabric is awesome! Where did you get it?

[jessandstavro]

Just some discount fabric warehouse. Not a chain or anything. Sorry!
