That’s Pinterest-ing! 10 ways to Up the style factor with TRIM

by / Wednesday, 06 February 2013 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION, That's Pinterest-ing!

Each Week we discover interesting topics on “Pinterest” and share them here.   This week we found 10 ways to Up The Style Factor using trimMy preference for most things is, less is more.  I like to keep my makeup simple, my hairstyles simple and even the things I wear.  For example I might wear an all black outfit for a sophisticated look, but accessorize it with just the right statement piece for an added wow factor.

My preferred decorating style is much the same way. While I like an eclectic mix, I usually shy away from an abundance of “things”, for fear that they will end up upstaging one another or sabotaging the beauty of a space.

Today the 10 featured TRIM picks are those that accentuate the window treatments we found on Pinterest without compromising their looks.

What do you think of them?

This vignette is tastefully done.  The contrasting chocolate banding at the top and bottom of the drapes, give it star power. And I love the subtle difference in the mixed prints between the shade and bench.

    I love the Vignette in chocolate and the lighter color. Does that combination work for a male housekeeper?

    Thank you for your reply. I love that one too! Will it work for a male housekeeper? I say yes, especially if he is a comedian:)
    On a serious note, using stain repellent fabrics can be a viable solution.
