It’s not always the grand chandelier that stamps the house with ‘you’.  Sometimes, it's the small, personal touches — the mementos collected on your travels, the eclectic mix of artwork, or the handwoven throws - that tell your story. These unique details that reflect your personality and life’s journey — create a space that's truly yours. And trimmings, though small, can parade amongst these curated details to further the custom look of your home - especially when it comes to completing the look of your custom roman shades to give them the ultimate designer touch-up. 

Considering you are already here, we appreciate that you recognize the richness of a silken fringe and the whimsy that lives within a lush pom pom trim. So allow us to give you a full tour of our trimmings collection down below, but before we start, let our designers first introduce you to the full potential of trimmings and share some quick styling tips and tricks.

Dainty Details, Dramatic Difference: How Roman Shade Trims Steal the Show

Many clients, when thinking of roman shade trimmings, see them as ‘the little extras’. These tiny treasures often don’t get the credit they deserve as the finishing detail that ties the entire ensemble together while elevating the look of your roman shades. Nor are they recognized for the multiple other, subtle benefits they bring to your windows. So, let our designers give you a peek into how our dainty trims work their magic:  

SPICE UP THE SUBTLE: If you have chosen a monochrome blind and would like to spruce it up with ornamental detailing, consider adding a trim that reflects the accent tone of your decor. Not only will this make your roman shades look dapper but also make it a part of the larger color scheme of your home.

CONNECT THE COLORS: If your home is a bustling carnival of colors, multicolor trims can be the unifying instrument that rings in cohesiveness and defines your palette by tying the varied hues together in one spot. Multicolor trims are also a popular choice in kids' spaces where the bright colors speak the vernacular of the babbles and squeaks. 

BRING A BESPOKE TOUCH: A mass-produced plastic blind can never make your home look curated. Where they’ll fall miles behind, our made-to-measure roman blinds that you envisioned and designed from scratch will run the show for you. To further this narrative, garnish your blinds with trims that wear the badge of being bespoke with honor, announcing your artistic flair loud and clear. With trims festooning your blinds, one look and anyone can tell – that’s a custom, handmade roman shade!

DRAW A LINE: When the fabric of your roman shades is picked to match the wall color, they can sometimes blend in almost too well. Unless that is your goal, add a stylish border trim for subtle contouring. This little detail can define the edges, help your blinds stand out, and add a crisp, tailored touch to your décor.

ADD TEXTURAL DEPTH: Miniature yet mighty, trims function like repoussé artwork, delivering a surprising level of difference in a room by adding textural depth and flavor. Hone in on this quality with the plush naps of a velvet ribbon or the tactile richness of a beaded tassel trim. A small detail to turn your space from flat to fab!

VOICE THE VIBE: Trims are your trusted companions in setting the mood in a room. While a rainbow pom pom trim will punch a place with playfulness, an ornate tasseled trim will speak of classical charm. Trust your chosen trim to stamp the shades with character and persona, while voicing the overall vibe of a room. 

SOFTEN THE EDGES: If you’d like your roman shades to don a softer silhouette, dress up the edges with pom pom, fringe, or tassel trims. It’s a spiffy solution to add a delicate touch to your straight-lined decor scheme, especially in industrial-inspired home designs, all while keeping your minimalist design intact.

CELEBRATE CRAFTSMANSHIP: Who doesn’t want to add an element to their decor that carries with them the stories and patina of hands that lovingly crafted them? Handmade by couturiers, our trimmings are one-of-a-kind pieces that add a bespoke touch to your home, stating your tasteful choices in curating handmade pieces. Just the blueprint you need to make your home a truly special abode of art!

POM POM TRIMS FOR ROMAN SHADES

Fluffy, floofy, and fabulously fun - that’s our pom pom trims for you! Whether you’re looking to match the vivacious energy of your toddler’s room, indulge in a nostalgic trip back to your youth or infuse your teenager’s room with a splash of whimsy, our lush pom pom trims will answer your call.

For instance, in a little princess’ nursery, a bubblegum pink pom pom trim like Cerise will be the ruling element, especially if put on a soft pink or white roman shade. Even defining the seasonal colors is easy with our pompoms. Take our Sundae pom pom trim, for example, that steals colors from the falling leaves and ripe pumpkin fields for your autumn home makeover.

Whatever your whimsy, whatever your muse, our collection of pom poms presents you with the opportunity to convert any casual room of your home into a cozy idyllic escape with these amazeballs lined up on your roman shades.

TASSEL TRIMS FROM ROMAN SHADES

The devil wears Prada and runway-ready roman shades wear tassel trims! For homes right out of Venetian postcards, tassel trims carved from the imagination of a Baroque architect are the finishing masterstrokes. 

However you imagine them, in rich jewel tones or pared-back neutrals, tassels promise to not just be the finishing touch but the elevating instrument in your home decor. A nod to the old-world charm of handcrafted decor and a celebration of art, tassel trimmings are for clients with a penchant for refinement and opulent sophistication. Whether adorning sumptuous silk or crisp linen, tassel trims are the crowning jewels that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Whether your vision is a Bridgerton-inspired home or you wish to dip your toes in grandeur without going overboard, our collection will cater to all your whims. When your home doesn’t shy away from unapologetic indulgence, our tiered hand-knotted tassels like Elina serve as the ideal candidate. Alternatively, if your space is looking for just a fleeting fling with fancy, something like the more streamlined yet glamorous Divius would be the right call. For clients who would like to make a statement out of trims alone, options like Atrani and Paradise will meet the mandate proudly. 

FRINGE TRIM FOR ROMAN SHADES

Flowy, flirty, fab fringes — not too dressy, yet so undeniably chic! Think of the artsy vibe of Parisian ateliers or the ritzy glam of a Côte d'Azur villa, fringes will wink at you from every corner. Joining the likes of fringed poufs and lampshades, roman shades with fringe trims can be a defining moment in any decor. Such a simple addition, and ooh là là, your home just became oh-so- ready for the red carpet! 

When styling your roman shades with fringes, let their material composition and design be the vibe-setter. For example, a cotton brush fringe trim on a linen or cotton roman shade creates a casual, easy-going look. To elevate dressier fabrics, consider our silk fringe trims, which complement the grandeur of silks and velvets. And choose looped fringe trims like Camper for a curvier silhouette, ideal for softening the edges of your roman shades and adding a sophisticated touch.

RIBBON TRIMS FOR ROMAN SHADES

Ribbon trims bask in their well-deserved celebrity status, effortlessly adapting to every design era and decor style with flair. On a trip back to the Regency-era English manors, you find pastel-toned satin ribbons dressing home furnishings with subtle grace and refined elegance. Fast forward to the flamboyant Art Deco era of the 20s, and you’ll see bold, geometric ribbons adding a splash of modern sophistication to glamorous Great Gatsby-style interiors. In contrast, the serene simplicity of traditional Japanese homes showcases ribbon trims in their most minimalist form, softly defining and enhancing the edges of roman shades with understated charm. 

So, if you’re looking for a versatile trim that can shake hands with various decor styles or adapt to your evolving tastes, ribbon trims can see you there. They offer great elan with their tactile textures and subtle patterns while sticking to a cut-to-the-minimum profile. So, for someone who wants to add visual interest to the roman shade without altering its clean-lined silhouettes, ribbon trims are a go-to. Count on ribbon trims to add a second tone on a plain blind to synchronize it better with your overall color palette. Or, if you chose a plain fabric that exactly matches your walls and worry that it might blend in too well, consider defining the profiles of your blinds with a ribbon trim.

BRAIDED TRIMS FOR ROMAN SHADES

Take the grandeur of old-world elegance and wrap it in a sleek, modern silhouette—and you might find yourself shopping for one of our woven braids! 

When you're torn between the flowy opulence of tassels and the simplicity of plain ribbon trims, braided trims offer the perfect blend of both. They bring together the best elements to create a refined, stylish middle ground that adds bespoke sophistication to any décor.

On a minimalist roman shade that feels a tad too ‘flat’, braided trims can add a layer of much-needed texture and warmth. For a vibrant fabric, choose braid trims with rich jewel tones and intricate patterns like our Cranberry Harvest. Again, braided trims like in our Tapestry collection,  designed to enrich interiors with their woven geometric patterns, ranging from neutral to brighter tones, bring a welcome touch of tactility to the plain surface of roman shades. The minimal visual realty that a braid trim occupies, combined with the woven textures and intricate design, strikes the perfect balance by adding a subtle zest that can be savored in moderation within any décor scheme.

Conclusion

Details make the design. The more you zoom in on the little bits of your decor, the more your space comes to life. So, before you hit ‘checkout’ on your roman shades, ask yourself: how can I give them that extra wow factor? If you ask the designers, they would give you a nod at trimmings. And if you have decided to trust the experts, you’re at the right place. The roadmap to the right trimmings is ready for you and it’s now time for us to sit back with a cup of coffee and cheer you on as you get serenaded by our collection. Go ahead — shop away!
