Charles Eames said,”The details are not the details. They make the design.” He couldn’t have been more appropriate. The tiniest extra touch can change a space. If you’re in the mood for a clean and crisp update to your existing furniture or a distinctive new addition, I highly recommend piping a bit in a contrasting trim. Piping can bring in greater colour, introduce a new colour, or pull all the colours together in a space. I’ve rounded up my favorite little pieces (even one for your puppy ) here for you. — Shannon from I Really like Your Own Crazy and Poplin & Queen
Emily Ruddo
I like to pipe solids on solids for a polished appearance. Emily Ruddo went with a bold pink white piping on her dining chairs and a neutral appearance with a cream settee with dark piping within this living area.

Roma Sofa
My favorite look is navy with a white trim. It only pops.

This matching chair and ottoman coordinate seamlessly together with the black and white at the zebra skin rug.

Who could resist this mixture of piping and pattern on a headboard?

The Marilyn Lounge Chair, Pink – $675
A friend of mine, Roxy Owens, includes a line of custom upholstered pieces with options to pipe them. This white and pink number could look adorable in a girls’ room.
Chic Shop
Ocean Oblong Pillow – $270
Pick a colour that contrasts but coordinates. Yes, I am serious. The navy frames this pillow and brings out the colour in the logo.
Amazon
Lily Glider Chair, Navy Piping – $1,099
A nursery glider is a new mom’s sanctuary, so there is all the more reason to really go the extra mile and include a contrasting trim that brings the whole room together.

Bring colour to the bathroom with trimmed linens.
Crate&Barrel
Barrington Sofa, Kyle Charcoal – $1,699

Upholstered Parker X-Bench, White Canvas With Lemon Linen Piping – $750
Most of us know and love the X-bench. It can be piped also to get a fun splash of colour in the foot of a bed or in a living room.
oomph
Slipper Chair Upholstered – $1,430
White with navy adds a crisp nautical vibe. I’d use two of these to flank a credenza or console desk.
Etsy
Green Silk Pillow by Studio Tullia
Throw pillows are the easiest way to try out something out. This set would make great starters.
Serena & Lily
Hayes Glider, Pale Aqua Twill With White Twill Piping – $1,095
This really is so quite that I believe I would add it to a corner at a living room to get a soothing place to see a book.
Crate&Barrel
Barrington Ottoman and a Half, Normandy – $599
This ottoman and a half is great for the foot of the bed.
Society Social
Bow-Back Piper – $249
I usually try to keep up a how-to tone in my Guest Picks, however I am just plain in love with this parson’s seat. My dining area may need a couple.
William Yeoward
Geoffrey Chair
This contrasting trim looks so sharp.
West Elm
Cotton Velvet Duo Pillow Cover – $34
Velvet-trimmed cushions bring rich feel into a space.
Serena & Lily
Cayenne Cadiz Placemat – $78
