Learn How I Upholstered This Club Chair LIVE on Facebook
Club Chairs are a fun DIY upholstery project.
This chair started as a relatively basic beige piece, complete with a skirt that we ultimately decided to leave off for a cleaner, more modern look this time. Bill and I stumbled upon this gem while browsing Facebook Marketplace, and we were immediately drawn to its unique shape and style — not your average club chair! My vision from the start was to make it as playful and fun as possible while still keeping it versatile enough to fit into a stylish, everyday home.
One of the standout features is the bold fabric on the outside back, a fun black-and-white diamond pattern that really gives this chair its personality. These kinds of unexpected touches make reupholstering such an exciting creative process.
In our first video, we’re kicking off with the teardown — a crucial first step in any upholstery project. As we always say, your education begins with the teardown! Follow along as we dive into the process, sharing tips, tricks, and insights along the way as we transform this fancy little club chair into something truly special.
In Part 2 of reupholstering we begin upholstering the deck of this fancy-style club chair. We are using a teal chenille fabric from #greenhousefabric for the insides of our chair. Watch as we reupholster this piece.
In Part 3 I continue upholstering our Fancy Club chair starting with the inside arms. I will be adding the support webbing, burlap, padding, and the finished fabric.
In Part 4 we continue upholstering and I will be attaching the inside arms of our fancy-style club chair.
Part 5
I will add padding and upholstery to the inside back of the chair and a few contrast buttons, which we will add in Part 6! Wait until you see the fun contrast fabric from Spoonflower that we will be using. We nicknamed her the Alice In Wonderland Chair!

Today in Part 8 of upholstering our fancy-style club chair I will finish adding the CurveEase (PlyGrip) and continue closing up the outsides.
Today in Part 9 I will finish up with the diamond fabric on the outside of our chair. We will discuss how I decided to semi-match the pattern between the outside arm and the outside back. This fabric pattern match had some challenges but I think you’ll like what I decided to do.
