Luxurious Charm: Tufted Furniture

"You may concentrate on appearances all through the rest of your house, but in the bedroom comfort should be supreme."  - Dorothy Draper, Interior Designer

Smooth curves of luxurious fabric  inset buttons that attract one to these pieces, there's no denying that the look of tufted upholstery immediately catches the eye.  The padded shapes and shadows that form from tufts set an elegant stage and a more dramatic sentiment.  For instance, this tufted headboard on the Oxford Bed, presents a subtle, yet luxurious statement.

It's not all about tufted beds, however.  Tufted chairs and sofas have also captured our attention of late.  This Henredon tufted leather chair with ottoman looks stately yet cozy and everyday lounge-ready.  The coffee-brown classic leather is adorned with nail-heads around the base to give it just enough of a contemporary touch.


Savannah Collections' own Franklin Occasional Chair reinvigorates the tufted style in this classic chair and ottoman combination.  Infused with a timeless quality, these high end furniture pieces will enhance any space in your home.

Tufted-cushion benches, though smaller, can add an understated elegance to any space.  The Milford Bench shown below boasts impeccably stitched European silk contrasted by its unique twisted leg design.

Simple buttons and tufts and stitching may not amount to much on their own, but joined together in a purposeful way and the end result can be wonderfully charming.  Luxury furniture that is equally cozy can make for a truly blissful living space.

Ultimate Luxury: It’s in the Details

”Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail.” - Leonardo da Vinci

When the word "luxury" comes to mind, one might envision large estates, perhaps lavish gardens with infinity pools.  A more comprehensive view of luxury, however, depends largely on what - and how - you imagine it to be.  It can mean comfort, just as much as decadence.  It can stir admiration, instill inspiration, or simply put a smile to your face. Who wouldn't want to have a luxurious home?

Creating a luxurious home doesn't necessarily require wealth or a world-renowned interior designer.  With the right design elements thoughtfully placed across a room, your home can feel just as decadent as a king's throne.  We have compiled a few suggestions to help get you started:

Gold-Leaf Accents

With furniture embellishments, a little can go a long way.  Gold-leaf, for example, is a thinly-pressed sheet of true gold which is used to decorate woodwork.  A table gilded with 18K gold-leaf along its trim creates just enough richness for a luxurious centerpiece within a living room:

18K gold-leaf punctuates this Salisbury Coffee Table for a decadent result.

Enchanting veneer inlay design hand-crafted by artisans enrich this Carneros Dining table.

Intricate Veneer Inlay

Another example of subtle luxury entails using veneer inlay designs embedded within wooden furniture. This creates an unforgettable and majestic touch, especially for a dining table. You and your dinner companions can feel like royalty with a table such as this Carneros Dining Table (above) dressed with an elegant Turkish veneer inlay design.

Marble-top Tables

Marble has been regarded for ages as a luxurious element in the home.  It has the reputation of durability, and is often sought after for its smooth, glossy appearance and sultry texture.  Place marble on just about anything and it instantly becomes a centerpiece.  Marble-top tables create an elegant statement combining the warmth of wood with the cool, sophistication of marble.

 The Hampton Coffee Table with Italian marble-top brings an understated luxury to a living room.

Where to Look for Luxury

With just these few suggestions, one can see that the term “luxury” doesn’t entail paying a hefty sum for an interior decorator to design a luxurious abode, or even owning an estate.  If you’re wondering where to start looking for luxury furniture, along with Savannah Collections, well-renowned brands Henredon and Marge Carson also carry a vast selection of world class furnishings that will sure to inspire your ideas.  Remember, luxury is what you make it to be, and considering just these few design elements when choosing high end furniture will go a long way in creating your dream home.
