Adding Trim to Your Upholstery and Drapery Projects

March 29, 2016 by Bridge Upholstery & Drapery

1-custom-pillow-completeAt Bridge, we’ve been adding tape trim to many projects.  Greek key tape trim and twill tape have been very popular.  We love the style these tapes add to our pillows and window treatments, so we thought we’d share a few of the projects with you.

Pillows with Greek Key Trim

Even a plain twill pillow is so much more interesting with Greek key trim. These 18″ pillows were embellished with khaki and lavender Greek key trim.

Greek Key Design Using Twill Tape

In addition to using a Greek Key trim, you can create a Greek Key motif using twill tape.  We used 2″ wide twill tape to embellish cream drapes and a coordinating upholstered cornice.  Here’s a photo of the cornice before installation.

Roman Shades with Greek Key Trim

Roman Shades can also be embellished with tape trim.  We made some fun Greek Key Trimmed Roman Shades for the living room of a Springfield home.  You may have seen our article about the Dining Room Drapes in the same home.  Our client chose the lavender and khaki Greek Key trim and we added it to her cream cotton twill Roman Shades.  Here’s a great photo of the Roman Shade during construction.
