PARKER KNOLL REUPHOLSTERY | HOW TO UPHOLSTER A WING BACK CHAIR | RECYCLED FABRIC | FaceliftInteriors

In this video we show you how to reupholster a Parker Knoll Wing back armchair from start to finish. This old girl needed quite the extensive re-build so we show you the whole process step by step!
We also use a fabric that is made out of 100% recycled plastic bottles collected from the sea...how cool is that?!

PARKER KNOLL REUPHOLSTERY | HOW TO UPHOLSTER A WING BACK CHAIR | RECYCLED FABRIC | FaceliftInteriors

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors

[@jamesmahon838]

We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple kzbin.infoUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.

Cheers Josh! And thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻

[@Isabel-of4wq]

Excellent video! My chair is 95 percent same as this with very very minor differences I just bought second hand for $100. I want to change the leg style but it looks complicated because of the way they attach. Anyway … I paused your video to check my chair and just found a $20 bill tucked down the side 😮 way to go!

[@faceliftinteriors]

That is awesome! Glad to be of service. Yes sometimes the legs are built as part of the frame! Many thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️

[@jamiepowell8025]

[@shaun4585]

About time!!!

[@faceliftinteriors]

🤣 sorry bud! It has been a while!!

[@emeraldpagey]

this is great but the bit I need is the front of the seat base and padded seat platform! Do you have a video showing that?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Not yet! But will be one on our Academy hopefully live by summer. ✂️📐📎🧵⛏️

[@rebeccaclarke5526]

Thanks, this video has been super helpful. I made lots of notes! Do you have a pattern for the parker knoll arm fabric piece? Or do you take it from the original fabric you've removed? This is the piece I struggled with most in my only attempt at a parker knoll wing back

[@bilalhussain2607]

Awesome work..👍🏻

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you!! 😊👍🏻

[@sharonkendricks4777]

I just watch your chair that you upgraded the ones that you added the Hardwood to the front and the sides in the back bring the cushion up took out Springs and added webbing and the material was a flowers on a black backgrounds after watching this video I must finish my sofa because you hit every point that I might have asked the material was beautiful

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Sharon! Glad you found it helpful, thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊

[@dionetaylor931]

Fantastic job thank you

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thankyou 👍 😊 📎 ⛏️ ✂️ 📐

[@joemalcum3123]

Good work mate keep it up

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks, will do!👍✂️🧵📐⛏️

[@mahmmudalsafi1488]

It's all awesome

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻

[@karenkanee6979]

Hi. Great video. I am just about to reupholstered a Parker Know sofa. Is there any problem with fire safety leaving the old fabric on the arms?

[@faceliftinteriors]

I wouldn't recommend it tbh. I have seen people go over the old fabric though, as long as your new fabric is fire treated shouldn't be a problem. 😊🙏⛏️✂️🧵📐

[@TanyaSmith.indefectible-ADHD]

Really enjoy you videos-very talented guy!! I am trying to learn from you cos I do enjoy an upcycle- to use not sell. Is there any chance of you covering a spring mounted sofa bed. Would be interesting how you cover around the bed part.

[@jenscarff8020]

Just wondering how you did the front edge of this chair? I think it may have been the bit of the missing footage.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Have a new video coming soon on how to do the front. Keep your eyes peeled 👀 📐⛏️🧵✂️😊

[@kathleenmandziuk732]

Great video but I don't see where you took care of the deck of the seat. How is that done?

[@Jason-th3nx]

What size stapler do you use for something like that?

[@Don.Antonio]

Hey. Great video. I’m going to attempt my first home project. Wondering where you buy the metal grippers? Cheers.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Don! Thanks for watching! I buy mine from an upholstery supplier called Martin’s but you can get them from any upholstery supplier and even Amazon and eBay 😊👍🏻

[@steveroche2524]

I have a wing back i want to do as a memory chair using mum and dads clothing do you think this is doable the chair i have is just one from amazon so no value really just both parents used it while ill just before passing i plan on using it by my log burner

[@faceliftinteriors]

I have seen this done with football shirts and only on office chairs. Yes in theory It will work but clothes aren't as strong as upholstery fabrics. I hope it all.works out for you. ⛏️📎🙏🧵✂️👍

[@andrewplacentino]

Brilliant results, so tempted to have a go at it myself. How much fabric do you think was needed to do a Parker wing chair? I have a very old family example in need of reupholstering. Thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

Many thanks, for the chair in the video we used around 6m. Hope this helps 👍📎📐🧵⛏️✂️

[@Dior-xu8fj]

This is great but I was looking forward to watching you do the seat itself, do you have another video covering this?

[@faceliftinteriors]

I haven’t yet but I have plans to do one soon 😊👍🏻

[@nillybetty7599]

Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing. Is there any more details on your tutorial website you mentioned at the beginning? Can't wait to check it out.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much for watching! It will be on a section of our website (www.faceliftinteriors.co.uk) and will include full length tutorials (much more detailed than on KZbin as it’s hard to get everything in one video in the time you have on here) from beginners level (including sewing) up to the more experienced tutorials. We want to make sure we have a good number of videos ready for the launch and then will keep adding to it as often as possible. But will let everyone know when it’s ready to launch 😊👍🏻

[@nillybetty7599]

@@faceliftinteriors thank you! I'm an absolute beginner, so can't wait to learn from your videos. Sooooo looking forward it.

[@KrystynaLennon]

How do you do the arm cover?

[@flowerpower3618]

Machine sew. Use the old pieces as a pattern

[@daisylea8450]

Do you have any videos or tips on resizing a sofa? Turning a 3 seater into a 2 seater, I need to shorten mine, all local businesses/upholsterers have declined to do it but I don’t want to throw away my new sofa so will try to DIY 😬

[@faceliftinteriors]

I haven’t got a video unfortunately but it if possible and have done them for customers previously but it is quite a big job.

[@CoCoBliss4]

Wow!!!!!!! That was incredible!!!!!!!😮👌🏾👍🏾😍😍😍😍😍😍 How many yards did you need for each chair? I missed that part💞

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you!! I used 6 metres for each chair 😊👍🏻

[@Elaine.sigiliao]

Bonito trabalho.Se puder falar mais devagar ajuda as pessoas de outros idiomas a entenderem.Respira,parece uma metralhadora. Obrigada😂😂😂

[@faceliftinteriors]

obrigado! para ser honesto, me disseram que falo rápido demais para pessoas que falam inglês como primeira língua 🤣 Tentei desacelerar em meus vídeos mais recentes!

[@junee5666]

I have an armchair that I want to reupholster. It just has an upholstered back and seat and has those long springs underneath the seat (they are shot) where do I get replacements?

[@faceliftinteriors]

You should be able to buy replacement springs from upholstery suppliers 😊

[@delaney157]

Upholstery academy likeing that

[@faceliftinteriors]

Cheers John! 😊

[@marquitusbrown8854]

What is the spray you to stick to the foam

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! It’s upholstery spray adhesive 😊👍🏻

[@naureenkhan6402]

If you were to get glue on the fabric by accident how would you get it off?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Naureen! I would normally wait for the glue to dry and try to peel it off and pray 🤣 or I would use thinners but that can harm the fabric so I try to avoid it where possible!

[@AS-rc1jr]

🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💕💕💕

[@faceliftinteriors]

😊🙏🏻

[@Don.Antonio]

Hi, just studying your video as currently trying to copy you. My chair is similar in shape. Is it possible to do the outside wing and outside bottom WITHOUT the cord and metal grippers. I don't really want the cord in my design, would prefer it to just all be smooth, cant figure out how to do it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! Sorry for the delayed response - you don’t HAVE to use piping, you can use metal gripper without piping. I personally prefer the finish with piping but it’s not for everyone 😊👍🏻

[@mahmmudalsafi1488]

Very beautiful I want more money

Thanks Mahmmud!
