Wingback Tufted Headboard Bed in Velvet by Skyline Furniture







I really love the look of these tufted wingback headboards and I feel like they create the perfect blend of stately elegance and warm comfort for the bedroom.

If you're looking for a style like this, I found a great option that comes upholstered in a lush tufted velvet from Skyline Furniture (Waveland and Brompton Styles) that comes in all sizes from Twin, to California King and in four beautiful colors (White, Pewter, Chocolate and Honey).

The links I've placed above are actually for the full bed frame, not just the headboard, so you really get the overall look which pulls it all together. The whole bed is hand crafted in the USA in a sturdy, solid pine wood frame and although there is some simple assembly required, I've read good reviews on how easy the assembly actually is for their products, which is always nice to hear.


The color options for this Skyline Bed are pretty basic, but do offer a lot of versatility. The first photos posted above with the white headboard and bright blue walls really show how you can make this piece pop, and gives an idea on how you can make this bed work to fit your own personal style.

PS - Although I couldn't find any specific reviews on this particular bed style, I have read reviews on other Skyline products (and specifically their tufted headboards) and I feel like that is better than nothing so if you're interested - here is a similar tufted headboard with reviews on Amazon.com, the Skyline Surrey Tufted Headboard in Shantung.

Greenwich Sofa & Chair






Both of these pieces are designs by Robin Bruce, and both come in a huge range of color and fabric styles which makes them the perfect option for a custom fit to your own home decor.

I personally love that you can really create your own statement by which fabric and color you choose. With the sofa, for example, the design and shape is incredibly inviting and elegant and has both modern and classic elements within it - either of which could be played up or down with your upholstery choice.
If you're going for a more modern feel, you could go with something like a Blue-Grey Linen or a Khaki Twill. Leaning more towards classic and traditional? Create a more elegant and luxe look with something like a rich Beige Velvet.

The Greenwich Sofa comes in 20 (yes., 20!) different color/fabric combinations which makes it truly customizable! View them all here.

Not to be upstaged, the Greenwich Chair (pictured below) also comes in a variety of color and fabric combinations - a whopping 17 different styles! Although it does come in some solid colors with fabrics like velvet, what's really great about this chair is that it's also available in some really awesome prints.

With this chair model, there are more "traditional" prints available like florals and houndstooth, but my personal favorites are the fun and unique prints like their "Grey Birds" and "Pink Dots" (view more here).
Either way, a solid or print of this model would make an amazing custom accent chair for almost any room.


Customer Review - Sofa & Chair;
"I bought the Greenwich chair and sofa and chose grey velvet as the fabric for both. They look beautiful, very elegant and head-turning. They are both on the firm side, however, comfort-wise, which helps them to hold their lovely shape, but if you were thinking of using these for cozy curling-up places, they would not be the best choice for this."

Whenever I think of chaise lounges, I always think luxury - and this classic velvet version by Avenue Six is definitely no exception. I love the rolled back, which adds a bit of glamour, and the lovely detail on the solid kiln dried hardwood legs just gives it a little extra something.. sturdy yet stylish.

It's available in a variety of colors including Chocolate (pictured above), Coffee, and Purple.

The Mies Sevilla Daybed & Barcelona Chairs






The Sevilla Daybed

This Mies Van Der Rohe Sevilla Daybed replica features sturdy straps of thick genuine leather fixed to an exposed eco-friendly Havea Brasiliensis hardwood frame. The button tufted and piped cushions are upholstered in beautiful Italian leather which comes in Black, Ivory or Chocolate.

Since doing some research on Mies Van Der Rohe I've been seeing these designs everywhere, and in some really incredible homes. The Sevilla Daybed pictured above is a really beautiful and unique piece, but I'm also a big fan of the Barcelona Chairs - especially in white (see below). They make amazing accent chairs and are sure to catch lots of attention.

Both the daybed and the chairs are chic and are perfect examples of button tufting gone positively modern. If you are looking to add a unique touch of sophistication and class to your home or office, these are some great options.

Avenue Six Curves Button Back Chair






Avenue Six Curves Button Back Chair in Spring Green Velvet

I love the simple touch of tufting on this chair - not too much, but just enough to add a little oomph to the design. This is one of those pieces that really brings a modern feel to a traditionally classic upholstering style - it's really the best of both worlds. I particularly love this beautiful shade of green velvet but if it isn't your cup of tea, this chair style does come in other colors.

The design of this chair is unique and eye-catching, and would make a perfect accent chair in any room.

This chair has wonderful customer reviews - many of which state how quick and easy the assembly was, which is always nice to hear when ordering furniture online. In addition, Amazon.com is also currently promoting this product by offering discounts when you buy this chair in quantities of two or more!

The Tufted Storage Ottoman by Coaster


The Coaster Tufted Storage Ottoman in Dark Brown Faux Leather

 Storage space seems to be one of those things that we can never get enough of, especially in a house with multiple people or children. We'd all like to be able to keep the clutter away and out of sight, yet store it in an easily accessible place - all while keeping our own personal tastes in mind and not compromising on style.

As a coffee table or footrest, this piece would be a great and versatile addition to any living or family room but it could also be used in other parts of the home or office. I could see this piece in an entryway or foyer with storage inside for extra shoes, and even in the bedroom at the foot of the bed being used for linens or blankets.

This ottoman would also be a perfectly stylish option for storing kids toys away in a quick pick up sweep, and it's especially great for toddlers because of it's soft exterior and cushion top. I can only imagine how many bumps and bruises could be prevented by having one of these instead of a hard wooden coffee table. I can't say for sure that this is absolutely a child proof coffee table (I'm no expert on child proofing!) but it certainly doesn't have those sharp edges and corners that you probably want to stay away from.

Sturdy and heavy, (though not too heavy to lift or move) this storage ottoman has spacious room for storing items inside and is topped with a soft cushioned lid. Thankfully when this piece arrives you have extremely quick and easy assembly - just screw in the legs and you're done. The tufted upholstery is made of a high quality leather-like material in a rich dark brown, giving the piece a classic sophisticated feel.

If you've been looking for a versatile and stylish leather storage ottoman with an inexpensive price tag - it's safe to say that you've found a great contender. When I searched for Bestselling items under 'Tufted Furniture' on Amazon.com, this is, not surprisingly, one of the first pieces to pop up. Not only that, but it has lots of glowing customer reviews. Here is a quick excerpt of one of the customer reviews taken directly from the listing page;

"I bought this ottoman after reading the six reviews that were already on Amazon and they were all spot on. This is a very sturdy, beautiful piece of furniture and exactly what I was looking for. I found many on line for $300-$400 and they didn't look as nice in the photo. I am very happy with my purchase and very happy I didn't spend $400! It also arrived very well packed and in excellent condition."

When it comes to multifunctional furniture, a chic storage ottoman like this is definitely one of the best you'll find.

The Emma Studio Tufted Sofa





This simple and stylish settee sofa would be a welcome addition to almost any room - at least in my house!

My personal favorite is the 'Natural' fabric color. I think that the light shade is so gorgeous and really gives a nice contrast with it's beautiful dark espresso legs - but the Charcoal fabric version is really nice as well. Of course, with the darker upholstery color comes the benefit of easier care and upkeep - they are much more  forgiving when it comes to daily wear and tear, dirt and stains.

This sofa has deep button tufting that offers the look and feel of plush comfort, as well as rolled arms and sturdy upholstery. This classic yet modern settee sofa offers comfort and a stylish look that will truly last for years to come.

The Emma Studio Tufted Sofa comes in your choice of two beautiful fabric options (Natural or Charcoal) and it's sturdy hardwood legs and frame provide years of lasting use in a classic espresso finish for a final touch of sophisticated elegance.

Skyline Furniture Roslyn Double Arm Tufted Chaise Lounge - Velvet






Skyline Furniture Roslyn Double Arm Tufted Chaise Lounge


This stunning antique-style double arm settee is crafted of a solid wood frame and gorgeous smooth velvet upholstery - available in a variety of colors to fit your decorating needs.

This piece definitely has a glamorous vintage feel, and I love that it comes in both traditional colors as well as some unexpected ones. And, since it comes in a such a large range of colors, it really can fit into just about any room and offers a huge amount of versatility.

I've seen this particular sofa being sold at Urban Outfitters but at a higher price so I thought I'd include a great customer review from Amazon.com that addresses just that;

"I love this! It's exactly what I wanted, a small and stylish couch. I saw similar ones on Urban Outfitters for almost $200 more. I was a bit worried that the quality would be less, but it's the same! It's the exact same item. I also own one of the headboards, but I bought it a while ago and was concerned the colors wouldn't match, but I was wrong again. They are exactly the same. I adore this couch, and the price that is offered is hard to beat. I recommend this item!"

A settee sofa like this is always a great choice as both a focal piece of a room as well as simply being a functional piece of eye catching, comfortable furniture.
