All furniture can be enhanced by the use of various different detailing options.
Self Piping.
As the name implies it is made using piping cord that is wrapped in the same fabric as the furniture itself.
Contrast Piping.
This is made using a contrasting fabric to the main furniture fabric. It is a great way to accent the shape when using a plain fabric, or a way of highlighting one of the colours of a patterned fabric.
Cording
An alternative finish to piping is cording. Traditionally referred to as passamenterie this decorative trimming works particularly well when used in conjunction with a bullion fringe.
Ruche
A softer alternative to cording. Gives a luxurious appearance to feather filled cushions.
Braid
This trim is the perfect finish for smaller chairs such as the Louis replica chairs.
Antique Studding
More often used when working with leather this finish looks equally as good on traditional shapes such as the Knole.
