Tufted Beds and More à la Room Service

I love tufted upholstery, especially tufted beds and headboards. The texture and softness that tufting creates pairs particularly well with more rigid or tailored elements like contrasting cording or nailhead trim. Because of the pretty shape and the tufting + cording, I've long crushed on the York Headboard from Pottery Barn (although sadly, the current version doesn't have the contrasting trim) and the Woodhouse Bed by Jonathan Adler. I also love the Rafael Bed from Z Gallerie for its tufting +nailhead trim.



A few years ago, I discovered Room Service in Los Angeles and was pleased to find that they make a few styles that are similar to the ones above (albeit less conservative). Room Service has tons of customizable bed designs, many of which are beautifully shaped, tufted, and have nailhead trim. Their style is definitely trendy and playful, so the fabrics used on the pieces in their showrooms are often pretty daring and bold. Anyhow, check out these tufted, statement-making beauties...









Besides fabulous beds and headboards, Room Service also makes plenty of other gorgeous furniture and they carry an eclectic set of home accessories. I love that Room Service creates a large percentage of their product line in the US and that most of the furniture is designed by husband and wife owners John and Taryn Bernard. At their operation in California they produce upholstery and cabinetry and have metal fabrication capabilities, so if you can dream it up...it's likely that they can make it.
























Pretty cool stuff, isn't it? Room Service has stores in LA, Newport Beach, or San Francisco, so be sure to stop by one if you are ever nearby. Just prepare yourself for some serious visual stimulation...there is a lot to take in!

  8. Anon - the bedding in the first photo is actually from Pottery Barn, but it's from at least a few seasons ago. I'm with you and absolutely love it! I wish we'd see more of that aesthetic from PB.

  11. Great roundup! I also love tufted headboards and the detail on these was fantastic. I did a post a couple weeks ago about customized beds from West Elm (more tailored looks). Thought you might want to take a look: http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2011/02/build-your-own-bed.html
