Nailhead Sectional Sofa
Caroline is a young, New York-based interior designer and home decor writer, obsessed with textiles and designer furniture. Backed with rigorous training from a prestigious design school, as well as a profound understanding of material quality and fabric care, she offers spot-on advice on how to furnish your place with reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
Exuding timelessness and chicness, a nailhead sectional sofa brings a touch of delicateness into a space. The use of nailhead studs to outline the profile or the front of the couch provides a subtle yet attractive accent, making the piece appear formal and authoritative. While most sofas in this aspect have tufted designs, other models appear more contemporary. In general, though, nailhead details give off the same elegance. And you can achieve that same elevated style with these selections from our design experts.
Our Picks
Plush Sofa
House of Hampton®
This nailhead sectional brings a classical appeal to any space. The two-piece sofa features round arms with a tight back. It has comfortable foam filling in velvet upholstery and has been crafted with a manufactured wood frame and sturdy brown legs.
Designer Advice:
The neutral options are perfect for modern farmhouse, transitional, and traditional interiors. Meanwhile, its wine-red version is something that we’d recommend for maximalist and dramatic interiors, especially when placed in a room with a dark and moody palette. Bring balance to the composition by pairing it with a round metal coffee table to introduce an airy and open-framed element to your arrangement.
Contemporary Sofa
Red Barrel Studio®
Sleek and stylish, this sectional with nailhead trim is a favorite seating option for any space. The L-shaped piece includes removable tufted cushions and rests on a manufactured wood frame. It can seat a group of four.
Rectilinear Sofa
Everly Quinn
This nailhead sectional sofa features lush deep velvet upholstery that contrasts with the silver detailing. All aspects are tufted, including the outer parts. To add a unique touch, the legs are y-shaped with a silver chrome finish.
Designer Advice:
The black and gray options of this piece would look great in contemporary and transitional environments. The white and light blue velvet models would fare well in cottage-style and traditional interiors. For a coordinated look, we recommend pairing it with a geometric rectangular coffee table. Furnish the rest of the space with rounded lighting fixtures such as constellation chandeliers and ball floor lamps.
Sectional in Genuine Leather

Modern with a timeless twist, this leather sectional with nailhead trim is the focal point in any room. Features top-grain leather and rests on chocolate paneled legs. Its U-shape allows up to six or more seating.
Designer Advice:
Perfect for family rooms and living rooms. Place a rectangular or square coffee table and throw in a couple of upholstered and plush armchairs for a cozy conversation nook. You can opt for wingback chairs to create a transitional or traditional aesthetic. Or a couple of butterfly chairs with animal print if you’re aiming for a midcentury modern vibe.
U Shaped Sectional

Sectional Sofa Bed
Rosdorf Park

Designer Advice:
With its airy design and multifunctionality, this piece is a great addition to compact spaces. Its light form and available color choices would look great in contemporary, eclectic, and moody interiors. Anchor the room with a metal-framed coffee table and a graphic area rug to add visual heft to the space. And if you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some bright accent pillows.
