Crystal Buttons

Crystal Buttons for Decorative Upholstery

Livedale supplies crystal buttons for adding a bright, decorative finish to upholstered furniture, headboards, chairs, sofas, footstools, cushions and feature panels. These buttons are ideal where the button itself is part of the finished look, rather than just a functional fixing.

The range includes crystal buttons with prong backs, nail backs and loop backs, giving upholsterers different fixing options depending on the job. Whether you are creating a deep-buttoned headboard, adding sparkle to a chair back, replacing missing decorative buttons or finishing a feature panel, crystal upholstery buttons give the work a cleaner, more eye-catching finish.

Crystal Buttons for Headboards, Chairs and Feature Panels

Crystal buttons are commonly used on upholstered headboards, bedroom furniture, occasional chairs, ottomans, stools and decorative wall panels. They work particularly well where a plain covered button would look too flat or understated.

The clear crystal style gives a classic, bright finish, while coloured crystal button options such as amber, black, blue, green and red can be used to match or contrast with the upholstery fabric. Used well, they lift the furniture. Used badly, they shout at it — so choose the finish to suit the piece, not just because it sparkles.

Prong Back, Nail Back and Loop Back Crystal Buttons

Different upholstery jobs need different button backs. Prong-back crystal buttons are useful where the button needs to grip through material, nail-back crystal buttons can be used for direct fixing into suitable surfaces, and loop-back crystal buttons are suitable for buttoning applications where the button is pulled or tied into place.

Choosing the right fixing style is important. A decorative button still needs to hold properly, especially on headboards, seating and panels where the upholstery is under tension.

Suitable for Traditional and Modern Upholstery

Crystal upholstery buttons can be used on traditional deep-buttoned work, modern feature headboards, boutique-style chairs, bedroom stools, ottomans and decorative cushions. They are also useful for furniture repair work where missing or damaged buttons need replacing with something decorative and visible.

For best results, match the button size, colour and back type to the fabric, depth of pull and fixing method required.

Use with Button Parts and Buttoning Tools

Crystal buttons sit within Livedale’s wider buttoning parts and equipment range. Customers working on buttoned upholstery may also need buttoning tools, button parts, presses, dies, buttoning twine, needles or other workshop sundries depending on the job.

For more traditional covered button work, use the button parts category. For making and pressing fabric-covered buttons, use the buttoning tools category. For decorative furniture finishing, loose nails and nail strips may also be useful alongside crystal buttons.
