Nailhead Trim on Dining Chairs

After seeing the amazing ivory leather nailhead dining chairs and benches in Susan Hornbeak Ortiz’s home yesterday, I have been on a mission to find a set of my own. This style has literally been around for AGES. I recall learning about just how old this design really is in my History of Furniture class when nailheads were called Chatones. I think its safe to say that nailhead trim detail is here to stay. Though I love this look on headboards, couches, desks and more, I am particularly fond of the way it looks on dining chairs. It is an unobtrustive way to add something extra special to an otherwise ordinary piece of furniture.

I love seeing the personal homes of great Interior Designers. I absolutely adore this home by designer Susan Hornbeak Ortiz, the creative mind behind Shine by S.H.O. Susan shows such restraint in her home. I like how it is not over-decorated, but still looks incredibly interesting due to unique textures and accents. Throughout her home, she has incorporated splashes of peacock blue and bold patterns from her own collection for a look that’s minimalistic, yet eclectic.
