Planning the design of your new chair is a fun and creative part of the project. You'll need to select paint for the chair and fabric to cover the cushion. I chose black paint with a black and white fabric for the seat. Spend some time browsing the aisles of your local fabric store. Most fabric stores have a section of home décor fabrics that are specifically made for upholstering. Upholstery fabrics are significantly thicker than most other fabrics.
