Timeless Trend: Tufted Upholstery

When it comes to upholstery, I'm a total sucker for anything tufted. Adding just that one special piece to a space can really make all the difference. Whether it's a luxurious tufted headboard, ottoman, accent chair, sofa, or even a tufted wall (like the one in the closet in image #7 below - I DIE!), you just can't go wrong. And it's a trend that's been proven timeless - a style that we've seen carried over through centuries. Although it may be considered more of a "traditional" style, a tufted piece of furniture can easily transition into a modern or eclectic setting, if mixed with the right pieces. Here's a round-up of some fantastic examples of this timeless trend. How do you feel about tufting? Are you a fan?

  7. I am a huge fan of tufted upholstery. I love it on ottomons, furniture and headboards. I am not too keen on it on doors but the tufted wallpaper would look hot framed as a faux headboard.
