Brush Fringe!

There are tons of ways to use upholstery trim. One of the most important things to consider when selecting a trim is that you want it to accent the piece of furniture, rather than overwhelm it. Brush fringe is a very common type of decorative trim. According to Brandt’s Inc. a brush fringe is a cut fringe that has a flat skirt made of thin yarns. The heading of a brush fringe can vary from plain to an elaborate gimp. Brush fringe is made of very narrow hanging threads, usually made of cotton, polyester, or rayon. The fringe hangs very thick and is usually used sparingly around pillows and smaller accent pieces. Brush fringe is available in many colors and is sometimes made up of two or more coordinating colors. Creative Interiors offers a wide variety of brush trims for customers to choose from when wanting to spruce up or accent an upholstery or decorative piece in their home or office.

Contemporary Decorating

Contemporary decorating is intended to create uncluttered, comfortable and spacious living areas through a minimalist approach. Contemporary décor is often noted by light-filled spaces with slick finishes, open floor plans, geometric shapes, and minimal furnishings. Organic materials that are used as accents include metals, glass, and stone. Contemporary furnishings boast clean-lined chairs and tables, tailored upholstery and slipcovers, and accents of intriguing shapes. Furniture should be comfortable but not bulky. Slim window treatments are designed for a space to blend rather than to contrast with wall colors. Choices for drapery materials include silks, rayon blends, velvets, and wool, which can warm the sleek line of contemporary furniture. Upholstery is often done in leather and suede. Clean, uncluttered surfaces enhance contemporary styling. Traditional contemporary decorating focuses on neutral whites, creams, taupes, browns, and blacks; bold colors can create detailing and add excitement to contemporary décor. Splashes of bold, bright hues can accentuate specific features and add personality to a contemporary-styled space.

Country Decorating

Country decor inspired a livable approach to interior decorating with its resurgence in the late 1970's, as items with a rustic and handmade appeal became popular in homes. Country decor features warm colors, antiques, well-crafted furniture, and handmade accent pieces. Furniture often has an antique finish, and is sometimes re-covered after being found from consignment and antique shops. Colors used to evoke this style include buttermilk creams, apple barn reds, warm yellows, deep greens, and rust-toned oranges. Hints of dark blues, straw colors, and soft grays are used as compliments. Simple window treatments, such as roman shades, valances, and half curtains allow for sunlight to illuminate an inviting space. Textile prints in country decorating include various rich-colored doilies  checks, stripes, and plaids. Natural fabrics, like cotton, linen, and wool, accentuate windows, pillows, and upholstery. Country decorating is intended to create a rustic, yet comfortable, and relaxed spirit for interiors.
