Ways with PASSEMENTERIE

The icing on the cake when it comes to interiors, passementerie adds a layer of decorative detail and a tailored, professional finish to soft furnishings.

From braids, fringes and tassels to pom-poms, beads and embroidered borders, there is an abundance of trimmings to choose from. Whether seeking to inject contrast, create unity between different pattern choices or enliven a plain fabric, adding a trim to window treatments, upholstery, cushions and lampshades imbues a scheme with a sense of opulence and personalised character. Here we look at the many ways to give interiors a special finishing touch.
