That is a very pretty fabric. Is it possible to take some of that sane fabric to an upholstery shop and have them make you the piping?

I've never reupholstered anything before - does piping come in a size smaller than 1/4" (or do you need 1/4" to cover up the staples?)

I like the fabric with the color of the wood. Have you done many reupholstering projects? I'd like to have two chairs done (visitor chairs in my study). I don't know how difficult it is to do on a fairly simple style chair.

Thank you. I am trying to avoid using piping so I can have more precise corners. I think 1/4" is the smallest I can use that will cover the staples and be proportionate with the chair. Most flat trim option are more fancy than I'd like -- not sure if there's anything out there I could consider using.

I have only upholstered my bar stools and now dining chairs. I have to say using a pneumatic stapler makes it much easier than a standard electric stapler. Most of the tedious work is pulling nailheads and staples from the seat. It's not perfect but it's good enough for my use!. LOL

Found this on Amazon, looks like a nice velvet. Not sure on width 3/8”. I have mastered recovering counter stools too! You’re doing great!

Thank you! I will check these out.

Here is a picture of my kitchen chair, which is similair to yours. Double welting was used using matching fabric. I have upholstered small projects like this and you can use hot glue to secure. If you have a sewing machine, you can sew your own double welt. It’s important that the welt fabric be cut on the bias (on an angle) because it allows the fabric to stetch around the corners. The welting cord itself is available in different diameters and stiffness.

Would something like this trim work for you?

I always make my own piping in the same fabric I do not like that one you show so maybe the nail head is the answer

Nice project with your fabric choice and upholstering work. I'd also go for trim in the same fabric to maintain the same modern feel. Sew it yourself or get a shop to do it, if necessary.

Thank you all for feedback. I do not sew nor do I have a sewing machine. Having trim the same material as the chair is the preferred option but I've had difficulty finding someone before I started the project. Hence, the reason i was looking for something pre-made and easy for me to work with. I am continuing to search as well as order samples of other trims as suggested.

I’m so impressed that you can DIY this! It’s a nice fabric, and you’re doing great. The trim sample you show is ok, but the beige is kind of bland. Any chance you could find that trim in a blue-green that complements the fabric better?
