How to Revive and Recolor Your Upholstery

Got stained upholster? An ugly padded chair?  Now, you can paint it. Yes, paint.

The chairs above were painted to the lovely white color you see.

This clever woman painted them using textile medium and acrylic paint. The medium allows the fabric to take the paint without getting stiff. It also makes it washable and prevents running and bleeding.  Use a 2:1 paint to textile medium mixture.  And should  you stain it again, just repaint. Easy. Love it!

Read how she did it and two other options in this great article.

Thanks for the post. I havent tried this method yet, but I think fabric paints would affect the feel of your furniture.

fabric paints are still paints so they do change the texture of your furniture.

Overall, this is great for those wanting to save a few $ or those who want to embark on a DIY furniture retouching project.

Impressive work, the outcome of the paint job is great. It is a good idea indeed to transform those old and damaged furniture that are fore granted. I wonder how long will the paint stay on the fabric?

So simple! I never thought about it. Thanks for the tips. I just repainted my secretary desk with hutch and now I'm going to paint the chair. Now, I can feel like I just brought a brand new set of furniture.
Thanks!
