If the base of your bed is upholstered with fabric, and this fabric is not as fresh as we would like, here is a master class on how to make a new upholstery.
This method is suitable if the upholstery of the bed base is worn out, dirty or you just want to change it. For example, in our case, for a small bedroom, I wanted the furniture in it to be light. Therefore, it was decided to change the dark fabric upholstery to a new, light pink color.
All work was completed in 1 day. Here the hauling took a little longer than it could, since the original dark upholstery could shine through the new light pink fabric, and at first the base was dragged by an additional layer of white fabric. If your banner fabric is thick enough, skip the lining step.

You will need:
- fabric for a banner;
- if necessary - fabric for an additional "lining" layer;
- tools to disassemble and then assemble the bed base;
- tailor pins;
- scissors for fabric;
- sewing machine and thread;
- furniture stapler and staples;
- if necessary, small nails and a hammer.

Step 1
Disassemble the bed, remove the legs and other details that will interfere with the hauling. In order not to get confused during assembly, you can mark the right / left parts and write on a piece of paper at what distance from the edges of the parts are the fastening points (holes for screws, etc.).
Step 2
First - the headboard, the “lining” layer. Take a piece of cloth sufficient to wrap the part with a large margin (at least 20-30 cm, then excess can be cut off). Wrap the headboard with the inside out. Secure the folds with pins at the corners. Then remove the fabric, hem the corners and trim the excess.
Turn out the part for the headboard waist to the front side, put it on the headboard. Wrap the edges of the fabric, pull it fairly tightly and secure with a stapler. You can start from the middle of each side, gradually moving to the edges. Ideally, work together: one - pulls and holds the fabric, the second - secures the fabric with a stapler.
Step 3
Now - the outer layer of fabric. Here the excess fabric is simply neatly folded and the folds are secured with a stapler. You can do the same as in the step above, having sewn the corners and cutting off the excess.
Step 4
When finished, return the headboard mounts to place.
If you use two layers of fabric, as in our case, you can, after the first layer is ready, find, having checked the notes, places for fastenings, and mark them by screwing in and out screws. It will be easier to find these holes later.
Step 5
Tighten the side and end parts in the same way.The corners on these parts of the bed can simply be cut off (see the top photo). In places that are difficult to reach / inconvenient for working with a stapler, you can use small nails and a hammer.
Step 6
It remains to return the parts in place and assemble the bed.
