Description
Heico 19mm L19 Decorative Upholstery Nails – 250pcs
The Heico 19mm L19 Upholstery Nails are large decorative furniture studs designed for upholstery, furniture manufacture, reupholstery and restoration.
Each nail features a substantial 19mm diameter head with a 16mm shank, creating a much stronger visual feature than smaller decorative upholstery nails.
Supplied in packs of 250, these loose upholstery nails are ideal for sofas, armchairs, headboards, footstools, ottomans and upholstered panels where the furniture studding is intended to become an obvious part of the finished design.
Large 19mm Furniture Studs for Decorative Upholstery
With their larger 19mm head, these furniture trimming nails create a bold decorative border.
They are particularly suitable for substantial upholstered furniture where smaller upholstery studs could become visually lost within the overall design.
Typical applications include:
- Sofas and armchairs
- Wing chairs
- Leather furniture
- Headboards and upholstered bed frames
- Footstools and ottomans
- Dining and occasional chairs
- Upholstered wall and furniture panels
- Traditional and reproduction furniture
- Furniture restoration and reupholstery
The individual nail format gives the upholsterer complete control over the position and spacing of each decorative furniture stud.
19mm Upholstery Nails with 16mm Shank
The 19mm decorative head provides a pronounced furniture studding effect, while the 16mm shank allows the nail to pass through suitable upholstery materials and into sound furniture-frame timber.
Compared with smaller upholstery tacks, the larger head creates a stronger visual line and allows fewer individual studs to make a noticeable impact on the finished furniture.
These decorative upholstery nails are therefore particularly useful where bold studding forms part of the overall furniture style rather than simply providing a discreet edge detail.
Choice of Traditional Furniture Nail Finishes
The Heico L19 upholstery nails are available in:
Antique on Steel, Brass, Bronze Renaissance, French Natural, Nickel, Old Gold and Pewter.
This selection provides options for both traditional and more contemporary upholstered furniture.
Bronze Renaissance, Old Gold, Brass and Antique finishes work particularly well with traditional upholstery, leather and darker timber furniture, while Nickel and Pewter can provide a cleaner contrast on contemporary or lighter-coloured designs.
Choosing the furniture stud finish to complement the upholstery material, timber and other visible furniture fittings can make a significant difference to the finished appearance.
Loose Upholstery Nails for Accurate Furniture Studding
Because these are individual loose furniture nails, each stud can be positioned independently.
This provides greater flexibility when working around:
- Curved chair arms
- Sofa facings
- Shaped backs
- Furniture corners
- Irregular profiles
- Short decorative sections
- Existing furniture stud patterns
Individual placement is also useful during furniture restoration where missing or damaged upholstery studs need to be replaced without removing an entire decorative border.

Fitting Large Decorative Upholstery Nails
Careful positioning becomes even more important with larger decorative furniture studs because the finished nail line is highly visible.
Mark the intended stud line before beginning and establish the spacing required for the piece of furniture.
Check the alignment regularly as the work progresses rather than relying on the previous nail alone to determine the position of the next stud.
A Kabara Nylon Tip Hammer is particularly useful for decorative upholstery nails because the nylon striking surface helps reduce the risk of damaging the visible nail head during fitting.
Where appropriate for the nail size, the Osborne No.777 Quick Nailer for Decorative Nails can also help establish accurate positioning and consistent spacing.
Always drive upholstery nails squarely and carefully into suitable furniture-frame timber.
Alternative Large Decorative Furniture Studs
Customers looking for a slightly larger nail can consider the Kabara 20mm N5 Upholstery Nails, which provide a closely related large decorative stud option in a choice of finishes.
For a different geometric appearance, the Kabara 18mm Square Pyramid Upholstery Nails offer a distinctive patterned head rather than a conventional rounded furniture stud.
Smaller decorative nails are also available throughout the Decorative Nails & Nail Strip range.
Decorative Furniture Nails for Upholstery and Restoration
These Heico L19 furniture studs are suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, restorers and customers carrying out high-quality reupholstery work.
Their larger 19mm head makes them particularly effective on furniture where decorative studding needs to be clearly visible, while the range of traditional finishes allows the nails to complement leather, fabric, timber and other furniture detailing.
