Reupholster a Bench or Ottoman (VIDEO)

Home decor projects are a great way to give your living room a facelift, and can often be done for little to no money. It's easy to reupholster a bench to hide rips, stains or ugly fabric.

With this video how-to from Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and Shelly and Anna from Digs, you'll learn how to tightly cover a bench in new upholstery fabric for a custom fit, and give your home decor a fresh look. When you reupholster chairs, look for home decor fabric that's thick enough to withstand a little wear and tear, in a color or pattern that is neutral enough to coordinate with your room. For a unique look, recycle a burlap coffee sack for your DIY bench cover.
