Vintage is one design style that never seems to fade. It’s constantly revived to accommodate the current decorating trends of the season, using slightly modified designs along with new colors and materials. Vintage design can be paired with your existing home decor to add visual interest and as well as create a look of comfort and familiarity to any room. One vintage style that is seeing a resurrgence is tufted furniture. This is not the furniture your grandmother had; it’s now designed for the modern home, in rich colors and fabrics ranging from velvet to silk. Tufted furniture seems to invite you to sit, relax and even take a nap on it.
You can find tufted furniture in a wide range of design styles, shapes and forms, such as headboards, sofas and ottomans.
How gorgeous is this purple room? The tufted bed just adds a great visual effect.
When used in a very simple room setting, a tufted piece of furniture is just fabulous. In this room, the tufted sofa goes well with the art deco coffee table but doesn’t compete with it.
The beauty of tufting is its ability to create a visual interest to your upholstery as it showcases the fabrics by highlighting and casting shadows in the tufts. For instance, if you’re using velvet in your furnishings, the fabric may appear to look soft and billowy. By contrast, metallic fabrics shimmer and leather looks richer and more supple.
How rich does this metallic headboard look against all that pink in this room?
A furniture piece can be tufted from top to bottom alternatively, the tufts can be in a localized area. No matter what style of design you choose, tufted furniture will attract attention. For the finishing touches, use contrasting buttons or piping to create a look that draws attention to the shape of the furniture. No matter what your decorating tastes are, tufted furniture will add sophistication and style to your room.

How about having tufted bathroom sink pedestals? Talk about a modern design idea! Just fabulous!
Do you have a small living room that is in need of extra space for storage or seating? Or do you just want some alternative to the traditional wood or glass coffee table? Tufted ottomans may just be for you: they serve as extra seating and some even have removable tops for storage.
As a coffee table, this tufted ottoman fits perfectly in this monochromatic room. I love how the coffee table and tray is positioned above it!
Kitchen banquettes are another great area to incorporate tufted furniture. They are so comfortable to sit on for enjoying your morning cup of coffee.
Decorating with tufted furniture can make a room look expensive and romantic. All you have to do is choose your colors and style. Don’t you think it adds some character to the rooms? I think I’ve found a new love in furniture design.
