Enjoying an enduring legacy, trimmings or passementerie – as the French call it, have always been in trend allowing one to express themselves. Decorative interior trimmings took off in a big way during the reign of King Louis XIV in 17th century France and have been in high demand since with designs becoming increasingly imaginative and flamboyant.

Elevating a space, trimmings takes one’s interiors to a whole new level transforming it from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

For me, selecting an ideal trim for your space depends on the language of your space. If you want subtle or stark detailing you can enhance any look by adding a simple trim. Trimmings are also very easy to maintain with vacuum cleaning being the best option” says Kanwar.
