Why not take an old slipcover and bring it to your local upholsterer and tell him/her you want a thin contrast welt (probably no larger than a quarter inch) on all seams?
How about a cushion? I love how the black contrasting piping on the white cushion ties everything together!
So, do you love contrast piping as much as I do? Do you own any furniture pieces with piping; if so, please share!
Those finishing touches like piping really do add a lot to a piece. It's really easy to add piping to the bottom of a chair with a staple gun too.
ReplyDeleteIt really is "all in the details." I love these images... I'm strangely drawn to that pink couch. I think it's fabulous! The piping kind of makes me take it more seriously! Who'd have thought? Great post, Fran!

I just adore this detail. I would love my sofa to have it.
ReplyDeleteLove this detail too. I'm especially patterned piping to add some fun and interest...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no piping here at my casa but I sure would love some! That first photo is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove piping! I just bought a pillow and my favorite part about it is the piping. Small detail, but big impact!
ReplyDeleteLove! I'm going to try to make a window seat cushion navy with white piping (if I can get over my fear of sewing piping). Great post.
ReplyDeleteLove the white and navy piping - fun!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog while searching for images of piping...so lovely!! These images are quite splendid. I'm about to have some vintage chairs reupholstered and I'm really liking the navy/white combo!
