If the tree still somehow withstands such extreme conditions, then the upholstery in the kitchen corner quickly deteriorates. What to do? There is a way out - do it yourself up the kitchen corner!

Hauling kitchen nooks at home is quite a meticulous task, so try to approach your work responsibly. After all, the final result depends entirely on your perseverance and attention to detail.

Getting rid of old upholstery

• We remove the old filler. Everything is simple here - you need to remove the old foam rubber from the wooden seat cover (it can be glued, so removing it can take a lot of time);
• We sew covers. If you don't have the money for new material, you can use any old clothes as upholstery - old worn jeans look pretty cute as upholstery. Such a corner fits perfectly into any modern design;
• So, we sewed the covers, now we proceed to "soften" the seats and backs. To do this, we need a construction knife (scissors), pieces of pre-marked foam rubber and glue. According to the size of the seats and backs, we cut out pieces of foam rubber (or other softener) and glue them to the working surface using the familiar PVA glue;

• The most crucial step is the hauling of the kitchen furniture. In order for everything to work out beautifully, you should not rush. Slip on the new seat and back covers and secure them to several staples using a stapler. There is no need for jewelry precision - it is enough to step back a couple of steps and visually evaluate the result. If everything is in order - completely fasten the covers to the back walls of the kitchen corner;

Kitchen corner as new!

After changing the upholstery of your kitchen sofa, it will serve you for more than one year. The best part about the process is that you yourself can choose the color of the sofa, its texture and the material itself. Create what you like and what will look the best in your kitchen.

Separately about cutting new upholstery

Cutting out new upholstery is not easy. Initially, you need to dismantle all the cushions from the kitchen furniture and use a regular tape measure to measure the parameters of the old material: height and width. In general, cutters make all the markings on the fabric with chalk - it is easier to remove from the finished surface. When you make the markings on a new cloth (material for new upholstery), add 5 cm on each side - this stock will go to the fold.

After marking and trimming, we straighten the finished workpiece "face down" and place the future pillow strictly in the center of the spread out material. The next step is to carefully bend the ends (the stock left earlier) and tuck the pillow into the new material. Then, with furniture nails or staples, we fix it to the frame of the kitchen corner (sofa). One step between the staples should be no more than 4 cm.

The rest of the soft parts of the structure should be sheathed and fastened in a similar way. Many self-taught craftsmen use such a simple technology not only for upholstering their kitchen corners, but also for sofas!

Old sofa in a new design

Attention! The most common mistake when making upholstery is miscalculation. Incorrect calculations can lead to the fact that you simply do not have enough material! Advice! When buying fabric for upholstery, buy 1-2 m / n more - the stock will never hurt, and in case of accidental damage to the material during work, you can always hedge and use the excess.

In the event that you have enough material left, you can also use it to upholster stools or sew beautiful, monochromatic pillows from it with a kitchen corner.

Having finished all the work, you will understand that furniture upholstery is not so boring. How interesting and entertaining process. In order to learn how to make extra-class upholstery ourselves, we have a photo and video instruction, in which each user can get a lot of useful information!
