Over time, the upholstery on your office chair can become worn. Or, the fabric may go out of style. There is no need to throw away your office chair, however. New office chairs can be very expensive, and upholstering your current chair is cheap and easy. Depending on the type of upholstery you choose for your chair, all the supplies can cost less than $20. Be sure to select a strong fabric so that it will last longer. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Measure the seat and back of your office chair to know exactly how much fabric you will need.
2. Remove the cushions off the seat and back of your chair by prying around the perimeter of each cushion with the flathead screwdriver.
3. Flip each removed cushion over and pry out the staples holding the current upholstery to the back of each cushion. Remove the old upholstery.
4. Lay the two pieces of new upholstery fabric flat on the ground, with the back of the fabric facing up. Place the chair seat face down on one piece of fabric.
5. Pull opposite sides of the upholstery fabric tightly toward the center of the chair cushion and staple. Repeat with the remaining two sides. Add more staples until the fabric is tightly fastened on the bottom of the seat cushion. Trim off any excess upholstery on the bottom of the cushion.
6. Repeat Step 5 with the chair's back cushion.
7. Press each re-upholstered cushion back into its frame connector on the back and seat of the office chair frame.
