Tufted sofa designs are trending on every country’s decor scene. Here’s how to make them work for you.
Tufted sofas are the rage with modern homeowners. Every home decor and furniture shop is displaying these beauties to the hilt. What is the reason for their ubiquitous popularity? Many, it would seem.
Tufted sofas look timeless yet trendy. Without demanding the big bucks that most modern furniture items do, the tufted sofa design transforms a simple couch into eye candy in the living room. This furniture style finds its niche in every decade. It is as much at home in a vintage living room as in a mid-century or modern drawing room.
But what is a tufted sofa? It is any couch that uses upholstered buttons on its surface to create interesting patterns. Diamond, biscuit and channel tufting designs are some of the patterns that are most in vogue. Take a look at some of our favourite tufted sofas along with tips on how you can style one in your own home.
Vintage-Style Diamond Tufted Sofa
Diamond tufting with its iconic diagonal pattern casts a traditional glow in the living room, but that doesn’t mean it cannot blend well with more modern setups. It lends an air of sophistication and old-world charm no matter which room it adorns. The greatest advantage of using tufted sofas is their versatility. These aren’t meant to be shunned to the corner — instead, make them the glamorous focal point of your room.
Modern And Minimal Grey Tufted Sofa
This contemporary tufted sofa is the visual heart of the living room. With grey being one of the popular colour choices for the living room, a grey tufted sofa exudes unparalleled regal splendour. When paired with complementary colours like blue, white, or even gold, the space appears luxe and charming.
A Glamorously Large Tufted Sofa
Furniture can be expensive but making smart choices with some of Design Cafe’s hacks will ensure that you don’t burn a hole in your pocket. If you’re going with a large tufted sofa in red velvet, you can pair it with cushions in various interesting prints and textures to add visual layers to the room. Dark colours are saturated and bold so create a balance in the room by keeping other furniture pieces light and few to not overwhelm the space.
A Luxurious Chesterfield Sofa With Tufted Detail
Synonymous with luxury, the chesterfield tufted sofa is a world in itself. With the opulent leather deep buttoning in a diamond pattern, low back and high arms, this classic can be found in the movies, decor showrooms and the dreams of every home decor enthusiast. This distinctive sofa style became popular in the 1700s and finds resonance in our homes even today. Something of a status symbol, the chesterfield tufted sofa is now available in various fabrics if leather is not your thing. Velvet or linen tufted sofas in shades of ruby and emerald are the most desirable.
Make A Statement With This Tan Tufted Sofa
You could place a tan tufted sofa in any room, minus the embellishments and yet the room will look dressed nineteen to the dozen. You will be spoilt for choice; however, some points to keep in mind while choosing your tufted sofa are to check the frame, the legs, the cushioning and the suspension. Any wiggles, wobbles, sinks, squeaks and creaks should make you question the sofa’s durability and comfort.
A Trendy Tufted Armless Sofa
While tufted sofas are in vogue, an armless tufted futon serves as an intelligent space-saving alternative. They can be shifted from one room to the next, and be used as living room couches or guestroom cots — the flexibility of tufted futons is legendary.
Tufted Daybeds
While cheap tufted sofas rule the roost, you could opt for tufted daybeds if you want more form and function without collecting too many heavy furniture pieces. These are best for studio apartments, small spaces, work from home furniture, a home library or a cosy reading nook. Stack the tufted daybed against a wall and throw in some cushions to deny the discomfort of an absent backrest.
Velvet Tufted Sectional Sofa
Sectional sofas are finding a place in many eclectic homes. The star of this segment is the velvet tufted sectional sofa that provides conversational style with its nuanced look. Bear in mind that tufted sofas are more challenging to maintain but they more than make up for it in style.
A Contemporary Tufted Sofa In Industrial Grey
Channel tufting — quite a rage in the ’80s — is trending amongst those seeking contemporary tufted sofa looks. This style uses long tufted channels to secure the cushioning. It doesn’t have any buttons and creates clean, sleek lines that complement modern aesthetics proving that tufted sofas don’t always have to be vintage.
Tufted sofas in muted, traditional colours or deep, rich jewel tones create a beautiful interplay of textures and anchor the room in style and comfort. It is easy to achieve a modern-day glam look in your homes — simply place a tufted sofa against the backdrop of tastefully selected decor pieces, roll out a supple rug and voila! You are ready to throw a party.
