Bet You’re Wondering How to Make Foam Furniture

When I first saw a fluffy yet sculptural piece of heaven on my Instagram Explore page, I genuinely gasped. I’m always a fan of something a little strange and off-kilter, and foam furniture checked both of those boxes. The more I engaged with these photos, the more foam furniture and foam mirrors populated my feed. To me, they looked like what would happen if Dr. Seuss met modern day Instagram and made a baby IRL. I took particular interest in the foam pieces painted in pastel colors: the material seemed to have its own personality, one I wanted to inhabit. In a 2020 state of mind, I began to entertain the idea of morphing into a piece of foam-covered furniture myself.

Because I jump at any opportunity to avoid buying something new and spending a lot of money, I immediately decided that I was going to make my own foam beauty. Taking matters into my own hands, I decided to wing it and do everything myself. My first stop? The thrift store, where I’d upcycle the crap out of whatever item I found there that beckoned to be covered in foam. Keep scrolling for the DIY how-to from a first-time foamer.
