Tufted couches are often associated with the height of luxury. Homeowners love the look of a tufted couch that matches these textures with leather and upholstery alike. As a result, tufted furniture tends to cost more than a standard, flat-backed couch. However, creating your own tufted effect is actually easier than you might think.
Livspace notes that tufted furniture not only looks great, but it also provides a much more comfortable sitting experience for those relaxing on the couch or chair. In order to create this lavish look and immensely comfortable feel, all you’ll need is a needle and thread, and buttons of some kind to cap off each of the indentations across the surface.
All this process takes is a little patience and an understanding of sewing. Pulling your thread through the fabric of the couch will create a pull from the outward-facing front side. Going over the loop a few times secures the indentation in place, and then adding a button to the front completes the process. Rinse and repeat across the surface to create an even texture for a customized, tufted couch that packs in immense value and comfort without having to shell out for a new, luxury item.
