All About How to Accessorise Your Windows and Room Décor

16/1/2014

 
drapes with tieback
Fabric accessories and trimmings, known as passementerie, enhance décor and add extra detail to complete a look. In some cases, a trimming provides the opportunity to make a striking contrast with colour or pattern; in others, it may accentuate the flowing lines of curtains or even define its shape.

A contrast trimming or banding on the vertical edges and or lower edge of a curtain is a very popular way to add instant interest to the curtain. Plain curtains can be given a graphic edge with banding. 

Or a fabric covered base bar on a roller blind can tie the roller blind trim into the curtain fabric. Trimming can also be used to adjust the shape and proportion. The position of tiebacks will define the silhouette of curtains and hence affect the amount of light a room receives.

Curtains with tassles and fabric tiebacks
Passementerie can make even the simplest window treatment look well considered, lending an accent of colour, or even a touch of humour that lifts the entire effect out of the ordinary. 

Where window treatments are themselves elaborate, accessories and trimmings is the icing on the cake, serving to heighten the sense of luxury.

Tassels are the punctuation points of window treatments and look fantastic when used in combination with corded ropes to serve as tiebacks. They come in a huge range of sizes and styles!

There are so many different types and styles of tiebacks – the classic shaped stiffened fabric tieback, tassels made from silk and ribbons, beaded ropes, plaited leather, even feathers! Some styles even come as a chair tie to really add that wow factor to your dining room.

Scatter cushions with tassles and beads
Cushions and bolsters complete a room being both comfortable and stylish. 

Scatter cushions look fabulous as a finishing touch on a bed – and can be coordinated back to the curtain fabric, trimmed or piped in the same cord as on a pelmet…the possibilities are endless.

A seat cushion on a bedroom chair covered in coordinated or contrasting fabric really makes a statement.
