# # Introduction:
Do you want to give your home storage solution a whole new look? Refilling the ottoman with brand new upholstering is a rewarding project that not only rejuvenates your ottoman, but also adds a personal touch to your living space. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll take you step-by-step through the process of redecorating your storage ottoman, providing valuable insights.
## Start: Evaluate your ottoman
Before starting to reinstall the upholstery, it is necessary to assess the condition of your ottoman. Be aware of any structural damage, loose joints or worn fabrics that may need to be addressed.
Tip # 1: Gather your materials
To rearrange your ottoman, you’ll need some basic tools and materials:
– Your choice of upholstery fabric
– Interior foam (if required)
— Screwdriver
– Stapler
– Fabric scissors.
– Interior Decoration Decoration (optional)
– Fabric glue
## Prepare your cushion
Once you’ve gathered your supplies, it’s time to prepare your ottoman for the process of redecorating.
Tip 2: Remove existing fabric
Carefully remove the old fabric from your footstool, noting how it is attached. Use a screwdriver to loosen the staples or screws holding the fabric in place. Be sure to save any foam filler or wadding that can be recycled.
Tip 3: Clean and repair
Inspect the frame of the footstool for damage and make necessary repairs. Clean the frame thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may affect the adhesion of the new fabric.
## Decorate your ottoman
Now that your Ottoman is ready, it’s time to start decorating.
Tip 4: Measure and cut the fabric
Measure the size of your footstool and add extra fabric for seams. Use fabric scissors to cut the upholstery fabric to size, making sure it’s big enough to cover the footstool and have some extra fabric to bind.
### Tip 5: Connect fabric
Starting at the side of the footstool, staple the fabric into place, pulling it tight as you go. Staple the fabric evenly around the footstool to ensure smooth and wrinkle-free.
Tip 6: Final Decoration Decoration (optional)
For a more professional look, consider adding some embellishments to the edges of the footstool. Use fabric glue to firmly glue the trim together, covering any raw edges for a smooth look.
# # Conclusion:
Recushioning your storage stool can breathe new life into your home decor. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can turn your ottoman into a stylish and functional piece of furniture that reflects your personal style.
