 Hey there! We know you’re already busy planning your holiday gatherings — the food, the playlist, the decor — and we’re here to make styling your space a whole lot easier. 🎄

If you’re looking for a quick and creative way to elevate your dining area, here’s a simple hack to turn your IKEA Henriksdal chair into a comfortable and stylish setup for your next dinner or party.

Step 1 — Start with the basics

Buy our white Henriksdal dining chair cover as your base. It’s simple, crisp, and the perfect blank canvas for any holiday theme.

Step 2 — Choose your fabric

You’ll need about 2.5 yards of fabric per chair. We used the Premier Prints Classic Shoreline Slub Canvas — but feel free to pick any fabric that fits your color palette or party vibe. Think plaid for a cozy Christmas, soft neutrals for a winter brunch, or something bold for a New Year’s Eve dinner.

Step 3 — Create the skirt

Cut your fabric to your desired length (around 20 inches works great), then overlock the edges and hem the bottom for a neat, durable finish.

Step 4 — Add pleats for texture

Sew one-inch knife pleats as you go — this creates that lovely, tailored skirt detail that makes the chair look custom-made.

Step 5 — Assemble 

Fit your chair cover onto the chair, then pin the pleated skirt all the way around, leaving about half an inch at the top.

Step 6 — Stitch

Topstitch the skirt to the chair cover, tucking the top edge underneath for a clean, seamless finish.

Step 7 — Final touches

Sew the panel ends together, and you’re done!

You now have a beautiful, elegant chair that feels like it came straight out of a boutique designer catalog — perfect for the holidays!

Bonus Tip 💡

Style your setup with a matching table runner, soft lighting, and layered textures for that extra cozy, festive feel.

And if you’re short on time — don’t worry! We’ve got you.💙
