defining the details

Four popular detail options that can help make your piece even more personal.

tufting

A timeless technique for enhancing comfort as well as style. Whether biscuit, button, or diamond patterned, all tufts are done by hand, one stitch at a time, by our skilled craftspeople.

nailheads

Choose from several finishes and a number of unique design patterns to highlight details and create eye-catching appeal. All are applied by hand in our North American workshops.

dual fabrics

Love a fabric but feel it’s too bold for an entire piece? Pair it with a second fabric in a neutral color, or more subdued pattern and create a style all your own!

skirts

A favorite traditional detail and an option for many of our sofas, loveseats, chairs, and ottomans. Ask about kick pleats, waterfall styles, and more.

BUT WAIT… THERE’S EVEN MORE!

slipcovers

Hand-tailored, fitted to our frames for a trim look, and available in a wide selection of versatile fabrics. A designer can show you which sofas, chairs, and ottomans they complement.

custom pillows

Pop your individual style with pillows offered in an assortment of custom fabrics. Add unique touches like piping, trims, and appliques to make yours truly one of a kind.

contrast welt

Welting uses wrapped cording to custom-finish edges and smooth transitions between upholstery and furniture frames. Contrast welting adds even more signature style, and a contemporary feel, by giving distinguishing features a decorative outline.
