I have a recliner that has nothing wrong with fabric, but no longer matches my décor. I saw you can use fabric dye. Any tips?

An Easy How to Paint Upholstery Fabric
You can use almost any water-based paint if you mix it with fabric medium. I used to by it at craft stores and I think Joann's Fabric carried it. You could check Amazon too. The directions will be on the bottle of the ratio of paint to fabric medium. If you are really ambitious, you could paint a design. Hope this helps.
