Tufting refers to a textile manufacturing process used to create a pile or looped surface. Hand tufting is a popular technique for more intricate detailing or bold, statement pieces. A combination of tufting and shaving is used to create shape and texture within a tufted piece (usually with uniquely-shaped rugs) for an eye-catching 3D effect.
The playful detail is most often used on rugs and accent pillows, but it can also be found in statement mirrors, wall hangings and other home accessories. Wherever you find tufted detailing, it never fails to add a fun, cozy vibe to any homeware piece.
