Wide Awake Thinking About...Tufted

Urban Outfitters, Velvet Tufted Headboard

Ballard Designs, Camden Tufted Headboard

I was lying in bed last night thinking about tufted headboards. I found two premade headboards that had the same type of look but they just need seem right. I do like that the fabric is deeply tufted. So many I found where barely tufted at all; just plainly a button sewn onto the fabric.

As I thought about these two examples, I just didn't care for them. I liked the boxyness of the headboard from Domino. The height it not so exaggerated that I couldn't put a stellar piece of artwork above it. The curvy lines of these premade headboards seem very dramatic and don't allow for any other decoration without seeming way to girly.

So I guess I will need to find a upholster in Connecticut to help me with my project. Now I just need to think about fabric...
