Time To Trim Up Your Interiors

In a gracious interior, beauty unfolds in the details. Details make a room special, they go beyond the typical vanilla interior everyone else in the neighborhood has.  One of the grandest details one can use to enhance drapery, furniture or interior areas in need of highlighting is trim. If one wants to be a name dropper, call it passementerie, the French word for an applied braid, cord or other trimming one adds to fabrics or upholstery.

The options are endless:

• Fringe
• Gimp
• Ribbon or Tape
• Braid
• Tassel
• Cord

Use trim to punctuate the edges of upholstery, a window treatment or highlight an interior space.

Here both a cord and a piece of fabric folded to form a flange create both definition and softness to this ordinary sofa and tie in the cornucopia of pillows.

Today’s trims can take a blah piece of furniture and transform it to a wow! This is where to fool the eye with a bit of high-low magic. Add a beaded trim or contrasting tape to a ordinary pillow, if is your preference the pillows walmart are comfy and can also simply make it easier to rest and ensure that you get an even better quality, plain drapery or the edge of a piece of furniture and voila it looks like a major investment in style.
