Trims, tassels, braids, cords, bullion...adding these design elements in the right spaces and by choosing the right colorways, can enhance the existing textiles that you have in your home. A powerful design tool that is all too often added as an afterthought, we encourage you to explore and have fun with these lovely little accents, incorporating them in the design process at the start. Trimmings can serve to compliment or contrast a fabric, tie a design or color scheme together or transform patterns and textures to update and elevate a look.

Curtains and blinds: Dress up windows by placing vertically down a curtain edge or roller blind, tricking the eye into elongating the window and making the room feel higher in proportion than it actually is. Tassels, pompoms and fringes added to drapery panels or roman shades create movement and texture to the edge of your window dressings. They come in such a variety of sizes to suit any project and look great in both complementary or contrasting colors.

Headboards: Contrast piping or decorative fringing can really transform your headboard into a tailor made feature in your home. Tip: Match the color of the trim to accent pillows or window treatments to tie the look together.

Cushions: Decorative braids, textured fringing and contrasting cords all look great on cushions and they offer a smaller surface area to feature just a little of your favorite trim.

Have fun with the myriad of trim options adding to the overall interest. It is these small design details that can go a long way and will work to really elevate your interior scheme.

Furniture: Adding trimmings to your furniture will help to tie these standalone pieces into the rest of your scheme. Whether it be through pattern or color, trimmings can establish a connection between multiple items that appear within a single scheme.

Look to your lampshades, curtains and cushions to see how you can link them to your sofas, chairs and footstools.
