From luxurious tassels to beaded and braid trims, these accents help give your designs that extra touch of detail and elegance.

What are trims used for?

Trims serve both a decorative and functional purpose in home décor and DIY projects. Here’s where trims are commonly used:

• Upholstery: Cording, braids, and fringe trims are perfect for adding the finishing touch to furniture like sofas, chairs, or ottomans.

• Curtains & Drapes: Fringe trims, ball trims, and tiebacks are ideal for adding a stylish edge to your window treatments, giving them a unique look.

• Pillows & Cushions: Bullion fringe or braid trims are great accents for throw pillows or cushions, making them stand out with extra texture and personality.

• DIY Projects: Whether you're creating a custom tablecloth, bedspread, or decorative accents, trims add an instant touch of elegance and refinement.

• Outdoor Furniture: Sunbrella outdoor trim is perfect for giving your patio cushions and outdoor furniture a stylish yet durable finish that holds up against the elements.

How to choose the right trim?

Selecting the right trim depends on the fabric type, intended use, and overall aesthetic of your project. Here are some tips to guide your decision:

• Functionality: If you're working on outdoor furniture, choose trims like Sunbrella Outdoor Trim that are durable and resistant to weather. For upholstery, cording or braid trims work well for both durability and design.

• Style of the Room: For more formal spaces, trims like bullion fringe or key tassels can add an elegant, vintage touch. If you're looking for a more playful, casual feel, consider ball fringe or brush fringe for a relaxed look.

• Size & Scale: Larger trims, like bullion fringe, are best for big furniture pieces, while smaller trims like cording or braid work better for more delicate projects, such as pillows or smaller drapery.

• Color & Texture: Consider how the trim will complement your fabric. Bold trims like beaded fringe or tassel fringe can serve as a focal point, while neutral trims like cording add a more subtle accent.
