Traditional button tufting is, and will always be, a timeless and coveted look for upholstery and leather. But we’re excited to see a natural progression in the trend to channel tufting! The clean lines add interest and texture to a room and can be done both horizontally, vertically, and even diagonally. We like this look best using a solid fabric for an ultra sophisticated look. A wonderful modern update for lovers of all things tufted!
The simple lines add a luxurious look, but not overdone
This trend looks great in most types of fabrics, although we have a soft spot for luxurious velvet. Not only does it feel glam and luxe, the fabric lends itself to light and dark dimension, depending on the angle that you are viewing. Add the depth of the channel tufting, and voila! Magic.
Not just for seating! We’re seeing this everywhere, including the fabulous Glenn Bed, featured in Smithe showrooms

Not to be overdone, we see this as being just a piece or two, avoiding the “matchy-matchy” look. A Smithe Designer will help you select the perfect piece and fabric to pull in this fabulous trend.
