You guys loved our last fabric chair transformation so much that we decided to do it again, this time with a fresh, light makeover. If you’re looking for an easy way to breathe new life into your old furniture, you’re in the right place. Ready to dive into this fun DIY? Let’s get started!
Prep Work: Quick and Easy
Before diving into the painting process, it’s important to prepare the chair. The night before painting, sanitize the chair by spraying it with Lysol, and then scrub the fabric using Zep Degreaser and a cloth. Allow the chair to dry overnight to ensure it's ready for the next steps.
On the day of painting, wipe down the legs of the chair with Zep Degreaser once more to create a clean surface. Here’s the best part: there’s no need for stripping, sanding, or priming when using Beyond Paint! Its all-in-one formula includes a bonder, sealer, and primer, allowing you to skip the tedious prep work and go straight to painting. This makes the process quicker, cleaner, and far less complicated.
Time to Paint: Bringing Life Back to Your Chair
Now, it’s time to start painting. Use a 3/8 inch microfiber roller and a paint tray, both of which are part of the Beyond Paint toolkit. Alongside these, a 2-inch brush will be useful for handling finer details. For this project, a soft, earthy yellow called Buttercream from Beyond Paint is a great choice to brighten up the fabric of the chair. Pair it with Bright White for the legs to create a crisp, clean contrast.
Begin by applying the first coat of Bright White to the legs of the chair. The microfiber roller is perfect for getting into all the nooks and crannies, ensuring an even coat without much effort. While the first coat on the legs dries, move on to the fabric portion of the chair.
When rolling paint onto fabric, apply a bit of pressure with the microfiber roller to ensure the paint adheres well and seeps into the fibers, covering any patterns or colors from the original fabric. Work section by section to ensure that no areas are missed, making the process smooth and efficient.
Once the fabric is covered, return to the legs for a second coat of Bright White. Use the 2-inch brush to finish off the edges where the legs meet the fabric, ensuring a neat and professional-looking result.
The Final Touch: A Fresh, Budget-Friendly Update
One of the advantages of using Beyond Paint is its impressive coverage. A pint of Buttercream paint is more than enough to cover the fabric, with plenty left over for future projects. This makes Beyond Paint not only a practical choice but also a budget-friendly one, perfect for refreshing multiple pieces of furniture.
This simple yet effective furniture flip demonstrates how easily an old chair can be transformed into a beautiful, updated piece. Whether the goal is to update a single item or revamp an entire room, Beyond Paint provides the tools needed to achieve stunning results with minimal effort.
Now that the chair is complete, it’s clear that Beyond Paint is the go-to solution for any DIY furniture project. Its all-in-one formula and easy application using the microfiber roller make it a favorite among DIY enthusiasts. Ready to start your own project?
