This video is all about how I created custom banquette seating in my dining area by hacking the IKEA KALLAX shelf unit. As always, my first step in any IKEA hack was watching a series of "how to" videos. Although I haven't mastered upholstery, @cyberseams and @meetthemakers7128 have. I watched both of their videos (linked below) to help me figure out some basics. Keep in mind, this is a video on how to create banquette seating, not a master class on upholstery. Your girl struggled all the way through, but I couldn't be happier with the end result. One thing I would do differently next time, when using patterned fabric, is to ensure the design is going the same way on each panel. But I was short on fabric and had to cut some corners (literally) and the fabric on a few of my panels is cut in a different direction so that I could make use of every inch of fabric. Overall this was a simple project. It is tedious work, but pretty easy once you get going. As always, let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
