    Painting Upholstery

    By Stacy 119 Comments

    I bought this chair off the online classifieds for my area. It was brand new. The owner got it home and realized it didn't fit their space like they had hoped. I got it for around $50. I bought it thinking it was white but when Shane brought it home I realized it was in fact tan. Tan was not going to work. I play around with the idea of upholstering it in a white fabric but after thinking on it for a month or so finally came to the realization it needed to be a COLOR.

    Keep reading for a fun giveaway!

     

    painted chair before

     

    After thinking on it for another month or so I knew that the perfect color was navy! The master plan is to get this thing upholstered in navy velvet. I have seen so many blue velvet chair and sofas popping up all over and I am obsessed. But before I spent what could be a lot of money on upholstering it in a bold color, I wanted to make sure that was the correct choice for my space. That is why I decided to paint the current upholstery.

    How-to-paint-upholstery

     

     

    I have painted upholstery before so I knew what I was getting into. If you remember, I painted my office chair several years ago. It was a similar fabric in the fact that it was a little on the rough side already. Paint was not going to make that much of a difference on the textured fabric. Unlike last time, I used a paint sprayer. Oh man! It made it go by so much FASTER!

     

    painting upholstery with a paint sprayer

     

    When painting fabric you need to either thin it down or add a fabric paint medium. Since you need to thin down the paint for the sprayer anyway it worked out perfectly. Once I sprayed and area, I rubbed my hands all over it to work the paint into the fabric more. In the past I have also used a rag for this step. By doing this you also can see where it needs more paint. My fabric had these skin tag like bumps (gross, I know, but now you know exactly what I mean!) all over and I was able to paint all of them by rubbing different directions.

     

    painting upholstery

     

    It dried rather quickly too since I did not use a ton of paint. I think it looks perfect and will work great until I can afford to have it reupholstered in velvet!

    Since painting the office chair 4 or 5 years ago I have received more emails about that project than about any other project. Here is my take on when you should or shouldn't paint upholstered furniture...

    Don't paint it if it is a dark color and you are going for a really light color.

    Keep in mind that the existing color (whatever it may be) may change the color of the paint you are applying such as  if you paint a yellow chair blue, it will be on the greenish blue side.

    I personally would not paint a piece of furniture bigger than a side chair. But if you want to tackle a bigger project than you go for it!

    I would not paint something that has a soft fabric and is meant to be a cozy place to sit. The paint will make the fabric stiffer. Even if it is only a little bit, it will affect the coziness of the piece.

    I would paint something small that already has a rough or stiff texture. And I would paint a piece that would otherwise end up in the dump and by painting it, it gets a new life.

    As far as how much paint you need, it depends on the brand of paint, how much you thin it, the color of paint you chose VS the existing color of the piece, the texture and type of fabric it is, and how big the piece of furniture is that you are painting.

    For this chair I filled the canister on the paint sprayer and did not use it all. On my office chair I used fabric paint in the small bottles and it took about 8 bottles.

      I found your blog at a great time, because I am getting ready to paint two chairs that I got at a consignment store. They have beautiful lines, but they have faded. And we moved into a house that needs painting EVERYWHERE! Walls, ceilings, kitchen cabinets, vanities, and all the projects I am doing/planning. Currently I'm repairing two chairs I picked up on the curb (one in pieces) and hope to start painting them in two days.

      I've painted a lot of things that probably most people haven't painted, although I don't know that any would be considered crazy. I painted a small wood stove Hunter green, to go on my patio, and after repointing, I painted the bricks around the foundation of my 150-year-old house. And the bulkhead door that I built. I did paint an ice bucket to sit beside my sink and hold peelings, coffee grounds, etc., until they go to the compost bin. Maybe some would consider that a little crazy. I'll paint anything that stays still long enough!

      I'm wanting to paint four dining room parson upholstered chairs (includes upholstered legs too) and I believe painting them would be an inexpensive way to change their old (1990s) tweed pastel colors to a newer color. I'm leery to try, but you're article, and using a paint sprayer has inspired me to take the plunge. Now I must decide on the color. Thanks for the inspiration.

      I am seriously considering painting our wonderful sofa which has a not so wonderful 90s floral thing going on. Building up courage :) the craziest thing I have painted would probably be my sink faucet. It was chrome along with everything else but when I painted everything a brushed gold with antique glaze on top it was a terrible sore thumb. I figured it's just getting tossed anyhow let's try. Holding up pretty good so far.

      Love the chair makeover! Great deal. I've been racking my brains all day trying to think of something crazy I've painted. Gosh, I'm a boring person. Painted loads of things, none of them "crazy." The best I can do is mention that I painted the exceeding ugly and cheap paneling in two rooms because I knew if I ripped it out it would be a huge job to fix (old house, plaster and lathing, arched doorway...). I was worried the paint would peel off the glossy surface over time. With the proper prep it turned out much better than I expected. Wish I'd done it years ago. While it isn't beautiful, it doesn't jump out and scream "Ugly" the way it used to. Blends in with the rest of the walls. Paint can be a relatively cheap answer to big problems. Have to think of something crazy to paint. I've been toying with the idea of painting my cement front steps.

      The craziest thing I've painted would probably be a rug. I have been oogling over this sprayer for months! With 6 kiddos I don't get much project or time to spend creatively, and this would make a lot of those projects more obtainable! Thanks for an amazing giveaway!

      The craziest thing I ever painted? Although I always threaten to paint our dog, my answer is old garden chairs.

      Please, oh please pick me! I love doing DIYs but an old shoulder injury really slows me down. Also, my daughter wants a rainbow wall that blends through the colours and it would take forever dry brushing the transitions!

      I have painted chalkboards and cork bulletin boards in my classroom. I have also repainted lamps to match my room colors. I am currently looking for a quality spray painter to use in my basement. It's s big space and the thought of using rollers deters me from even buying the paint just yet!!

      how much do the sprayers cost? I know you had some at Pinners conference, I see them at Amazon for $20 less than another booth vendor. Where is the best place to buy them?
