Detail is everything when it comes to your soft furnishings, making all the difference when it comes to having a piece of furniture you love for life.

These finer details add a touch of luxury to your sofa and can transform your headboard from a part of the room to a statement piece. From deep buttoning and studding to French polishing and trim there is a huge number of options available, it’s just a matter of choosing.

If the shape, fabric and style of your sofa, chair or headboard are the body of the piece, the finishing touches are the crown. There are several points to consider before you decide to add a tassel, trim, stud and deep-button to your chaise lounge. Firstly, too much is too much. The idea is to suit the style of the piece of furniture.

Deep buttoning is extremely popular and draws the eye like little else, bringing to mind those fabulous Chesterfield sofas and occasional chairs. Also widely requested are the diamante studs to add some sparkle.

Patterned fabrics tend to need few accessories and additions. A general rule of thumb is to reserve deep buttoning for a plain fabric. The effect will be lost on a patterned fabric, while it works brilliantly when done well. The same applies to studding. A line of studs will be disguised among the pattern whereas it really stands out to great effect on the right piece.
