I want to reupholster my dining room chairs. I haven't found a website that shows how to with the style of chair I have. Here is a link to a similar style
You should take apart one chair so you can see how the fabric is attached to the back. Just remove the wood plugs and the screws should be under them. If your dining room chair fabric and foam is in good condition, and not too nubby or bulky, you can cover right over it, (which is the least costly option) If you need to buy new foam, etc. the seat cushion needs approx 2 thick judging by your photo, plus you'll need batting for each chair to smooth out the corners of the foam. 1.5 - 2 thick high density foam plus batting can cost upwards of $25. per chair. Before you reupholster your dining room chairs, this is a good time to think about paint ideas for the wooden chair parts. You can also paint your dining room table, but make sure to use a high quality paint, like a good kitchen cabinet paint, that won't chip so easily. Recovering your dining room chairs is a fabulously frugal way to up the wow factor in the room and while you're at it, add some great drapes or layer your window treatments with woven wood shades. Other dining room decorating ideas would be to change out the light fixtures or paint them with metal effects paints to change the look. (antique copper, rusted metal, blackened bronze, etc.) You could also treat the dining room walls to a cool faux or Venetian plaster technique.
That's not for a novice. Do you have good sewing skills now? You won't find any directions for that chair. You will find how to's to upholster, but not for any specific pieces of furniture. Try it, or hire a seamstress or upholsterer. Your choice.
I have never reupholstered that type of chair, but it looks like the method is to take the seat and the back off of the frame, recover them and replace the padding if necessary, and then reassemble them to the frame. Mayan
wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.
