You can easily refresh the familiar interior of the room by dressing chairs in beautiful cases ordered in the atelier or sewn by yourself. The cover on the chair seat will help not only decorate such familiar furniture, but also hide the defects of the upholstery if your chairs are already many years old. The use of various fabrics in combination with suitable curtains, tablecloths or other textile interior details will give your room an original, fresh, and most importantly - finished look.
How to choose a fabric?
The fabric for a cover can be used any, all depends only on your preferences and imagination. Chintz and linen, velvet and velvet, leather or fur, silk or muslin - your chair can be completely transformed depending on your decision. However, it is worth considering that some fabrics look quite different in different conditions. Undoubtedly, the main requirement for future casings will be their relevant appearance in your interior; do not buy fabrics of cheerful colors, if your housing is minimal, as well as monochrome covers can be inappropriate in the children's room with bright wallpaper.
Covers for kitchen chairs will be provided in washing more often than others, so it is important to choose a fabric that is suitable not only in color, but also in texture. It will be better if the material used in the kitchen can withstand boiling or the effect of the stain remover without loss of color and shape.
If you are able to connect the covers to the chairs with a crochet, then most likely this beauty will look in the bedroom or living room. Lace lace will add accustomed furniture of lightness and airiness, will bring a cosiness to your house. However, it should be noted that knitted cases are hardly suitable for actively used chairs, there is a high probability that the original appearance will be lost rather quickly.
Soft chair covers with own hands
Of course, you can order covers for your furniture in the studio, specialized firms will not only offer you several design options, but also introduce the latest fashion trends, provide samples of fabrics. In some similar salons, even a designer's exit with pieces of materials to the house is possible to take measurements from furniture. But it's much more interesting to make the covers yourself, especially since the process is technically not very difficult, and the scheme of the cover on the chair will require you only to remove the measurement from the furniture and a very simple cut.
First, you need to measure the length and width of the back and seat of the chair, determine how much the cover will cover the legs of the chair. In the hall, it is possible to make the covers more authentic, whereas the kitchen chairs will have enough stock in 15-30 cm of cloth from the seat to the floor.
The tissue cut must have a width equal to the width of the stool and an increase of 2-5 cm for the treatment of the joints. The length of the cut is calculated by adding two lengths of the back of the chair, one length of the seat, two stocks per foot and a small increase in the seams. The further process is a matter of technology. Slip the cut into a chair, adjust the lengths from the back and seat side, mark the places for future anchorages. You can sew the fabric so that the cover is dressed on the backrest and tied to the legs. This same result is easily achieved by using a larger number of strings that will perform the function of the seams. If you choose the second option for the design of the boot, then calculate on the back for 2-3 strings on each side, one of which will be located near the seat of the chair.
Whatever decision you take on your furniture, giving chairs a second or even a third life is easy. You can not only focus on a fresh interior solution, but also change the appearance of your room if you want, if you reserve several different sets of "clothes" for furniture.
