There is no single “definitive guide” to DIY upholstery from Meredith, but there are a couple of core principles that run through everything done with pieces like that big couch and the reupholster project you saw:
- Start with a vision: pick a fabric and color that fits your space before you touch the staples
- Take it apart slowly: photograph each step so you know how to put it back
- Use durable fabric and a good staple gun
- Expect it to be a DIY challenge, not a quick win, and enjoy the “I might be insane” part of the process
Are you thinking about reupholstering a couch, chair, or something smaller first?
