What is a tufted headboard and how to make one by ourselves? Tufted headboards are firmly padded headboards with buttons or studs which are pushed into the fabric. The two main types of button tufting are diamond tufting and square tufting. Diamond tufting features one row of evenly spaced buttons. The second row of buttons is placed below and in between, the buttons of the first row. The pattern goes on to the bottom of the board and creates the diamond shape. The size of the diamonds will depend on the space between the buttons. Some designs feature long thin shapes, while others are designed with sides of equal-length. The square tufting design features buttons that are placed at equal distance from one another on each row. Square tufted headboards are gaining popularity in modern bedroom design and such headboards are usually with straight, clean lines. Both types of tufting share the same principle and you will see it in a step by step DIY tufted headboard tutorial below.

Traditional, classic, modern looking or vintage bedrooms can be complemented by a tufted headboard. Besides the practical qualities of this type of headboards (they are a very good insulation) they can be a strong decoration accent, a real statement in the design and express your individuality and character. Clean lines or elegant curves – this is only your choice. Silk, leather, and velvet are more expensive materials compared to fabrics but the variety of fabrics is so immense that you have unlimited options to choose from.
