Armchair Makeover Inspiration – Our Top Upcycled Armchair Ideas

Our top picks for ideas to upcycle your old and worn out armchairs. We’ve compiled some inspiration to get your upcycling juices flowing.

Surprise on the Side

Surprise on the Side

Personality on Display

Personality on Display

This will require a bit more of the expensive fabric, especially if you have more than one chair to do, but what an eye-catching statement.

Brave and Bold

Brave and Bold

Try painting the legs and adding a throw cushion with a matching or contrasting pop of colour.

Paint it Perfect

Paint it Perfect

Classic Grey & White

Classic Grey & White

Grey and white is a classic and we suspect it will stand the test of time longer than some other colour choices.

In Black and White

In Black and White

Pick a houndstooth, stripe or geometric print in black and white and stand out from the crowd.
