9.5mm N1 Decorative Upholstery Nails – 1000pcs
These 9.5mm N1 upholstery nails are a versatile decorative furniture fixing for creating neat studded edges and finishing detail on upholstered furniture. Supplied in packs of 1,000, they can be fitted individually or used alongside the matching 9.5mm N1 Nail Strip.
The 9.5mm decorative head provides a relatively fine studded appearance, making these loose upholstery nails suitable for traditional furniture restoration as well as contemporary chairs, sofas, headboards, footstools, ottomans and upholstered panels.
Loose Upholstery Nails for Accurate Furniture Studding
Unlike pre-formed nail strip, loose decorative upholstery nails allow each stud to be positioned individually. This gives greater control when following curves, corners, shaped chair arms and detailed furniture profiles where a rigid strip may not be suitable.
They can be used for decorative borders, furniture studding, securing and finishing fabric edges, replacing missing furniture studs and reproducing existing decorative nail patterns during restoration work.
The 9.5mm head also makes them useful where a smaller, more restrained furniture stud is preferred rather than the stronger visual effect produced by larger decorative nails.
Choice of Decorative Nail Finishes
The N1 upholstery nails are available in a broad selection of traditional and contemporary finishes:
Antique Black, Black & Gold, Black Nickel, Brass, Bronze Renaissance, Brown & Gold, Copper, Nickel and Pewter.
This allows the decorative nail finish to be coordinated with upholstery fabric, leather, vinyl, timber, furniture fittings and the general style of the finished piece.
Traditional brass, bronze and antique finishes work particularly well on classic furniture and restoration projects, while nickel, black nickel and contrasting finishes can produce a cleaner or more contemporary appearance.
Use with 9.5mm N1 Upholstery Nail Strip
These loose furniture nails are also designed to complement the 9.5mm N1 Nail Strip.
Nail strip is particularly useful for producing a regular decorative stud line across longer or straighter sections of furniture, while loose upholstery nails give greater flexibility around corners, curves and shaped areas.
Individual 1 metre N1 nail strips require separate loose nails for fixing, so these 9.5mm nails are the natural companion product when installing individual lengths of N1 strip.

Fitting Decorative Upholstery Nails
Careful fitting is important because decorative nail heads remain visible once the furniture is finished.
For repeated individual studding, the Osborne No.777 Quick Nailer for Decorative Nails can help position decorative nails consistently before they are driven fully home.
A nylon-faced upholstery hammer is also recommended where possible because the softer striking surface helps reduce the risk of marking or damaging decorative nail heads. See the Kabara Nylon Tip Hammer or browse our full range of Upholstery Hammers & Mallets.
Mark the intended stud line before fitting and check alignment regularly as you work. This is particularly important on long visible furniture edges, where even a small spacing error tends to become considerably more noticeable by the time you reach the other end.
Decorative Furniture Nails for Upholstery and Restoration
These N1 upholstery tacks are suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, restorers and domestic upholstery projects where decorative studding forms part of the finished design.
Typical applications include dining chairs, wing chairs, occasional chairs, leather furniture, sofas, headboards, footstools, ottomans, upholstered panels and traditional furniture restoration.
