As the fashion of interior design is moving away from a scaled down modern mood and towards the vibrancy of color and pattern again, embellishments are making their comeback.  Guess this is a sign that the economy is on the upswing and everyone is feeling fancy!

Love this blue striped drapery trim.

A small applique in the corner of the sofa is a humble yet elegant touch.

Los Angeles Interior Designer Mary McDonald has a gorgeous new line out through Schumacher
featuring her geometric and colorful trims and appliques.

It’s always a classic to add trim using the Greek key motif at the edge of drapery.

American-made luxury furnishings by Bradley Hughes.   Classy and comfortable.

This is a really cool mix using metal chains with a soft drapery tie-back tassel and ornate knob.

Metal is HOT right now and what a great way to use it as a trim!  Sexy!

Design Icon Barry Dixon added fringe below a nail head trim to this custom sofa.

Tassels can range from uber ornate to very simple and toned down.

Pom Poms aren’t just for cheerleaders!
