After a while, I tend to get bored with the furniture that I have — just like I did with the bland white IKEA Nordmyra chair.
I’ve had it for a few years and decided that now was the right time to give it a makeover.
Materials:
- Nordmyra Chair
- Fabric
- Mod Podge
- Scissors
- X-acto Knife
- Spray Paint
IKEA NORDMYRA Chair Makeover With Floral Fabric
To start, I took apart the pieces, then spray-painted the back/bottom (the outside areas) of the white pieces with Krylon Pumpkin Orange spray paint. I chose to leave the original wood colored leg pieces alone.
I used the pieces as a general guide to cut slightly larger pieces of fabric for each of them.
Then, I applied a layer of matte Mod Podge on each remaining white surface (the seats and backrest) using a sponge brush and spread the fabric over it, pressing down and smoothing out any bumps, air bubbles, and imperfections with my hands.
Then I poured a bit more Mod Podge on top and used the sponge to spread it over the fabric.
Let them dry overnight, and cut the extra fabric using an X-acto knife, right at the edge of the pieces.
I used a bit of medium-grain sandpaper to sand out any imperfections on the edges; I didn’t need much in this case.
Then I reattached the pieces, and voila! Such a transformation to our little dining nook.
