The finishing details of an interior are often what distinguish a beautifully designed room from an extraordinary one. With the introduction of the Katerina Collection by Samuel & Sons, the celebrated decorative trim house brings the artistry of traditional French passementerie into today's most sophisticated interiors.

Inspired by the Grandeur of French Château Interiors

The Katerina Collection celebrates the decorative traditions of 18th-century French interiors, where elaborate passementerie was an essential expression of refinement and luxury.

Richly layered draperies, embroidered upholstery, ornamental tassels and decorative borders once adorned the grand salons and private chambers of Europe's most distinguished residences.

Samuel & Sons reinterprets this decorative heritage through detailed constructions, expressive color combinations and sophisticated materials.

Each design reflects the meticulous craftsmanship associated with fine passementerie, incorporating techniques such as beading, hand-tying and sculptural embellishment.

The result is a collection that feels equally appropriate in a traditional estate, an elegant Parisian-inspired apartment or a contemporary home incorporating classical architectural details.

Discover the 15 Designs of the Katerina Collection

The Katerina Collection includes a comprehensive assortment of coordinating trims, allowing designers to create beautifully layered interiors with a cohesive decorative vocabulary.

Katerina Fringe: Decorative Texture and Movement

Fringe has long been a defining feature of luxurious interiors, adding movement, texture and a sense of carefully considered detail.

The collection includes several distinctive fringe designs:

Katerina Blocked Brush Fringe — A decorative brush fringe that adds texture and visual interest to upholstery, pillows and window treatments.

Katerina Beaded Fringe — An intricate embellishment combining decorative beading with the dimensional richness of traditional fringe.

Katerina Tassel Fringe — A luxurious finishing detail ideal for drapery edges, decorative cushions and upholstered furnishings.

Katerina Bullion Fringe — A classic passementerie treatment that brings depth, movement and traditional elegance to an interior.

Katerina Beaded Bullion Fringe — A richly ornamented interpretation combining the fullness of bullion fringe with decorative beaded accents.

These designs can enhance the appearance of window treatments, accent pillows, upholstered benches and statement furniture.

Decorative Borders, Gimps and Cords

For interiors that call for refined detailing without overwhelming the overall design, the Katerina Collection offers an assortment of beautifully coordinated borders and narrow trims.

Katerina Border introduces an ornamental finishing element that can define drapery panels, upholstered furniture and decorative textiles.

Katerina Crête offers a multicolored woven braid with a contrasting central stripe, bringing structured decorative interest to fabric applications.

Katerina Gimp and Katerina Cord Gimp provide more delicate finishing options for furniture edges, upholstery seams and decorative accents.

Katerina Cord With Tape features a lustrous multicolored plaited cord, offering a classic finishing solution for upholstery and soft furnishings.

The ability to coordinate these decorative elements makes the collection especially appealing for sophisticated interiors where every material and detail is thoughtfully considered.

Ornate Tassels, Rosettes and Drapery Tiebacks

Some of the collection's most expressive designs are its ornamental tassels and decorative accessories.

Katerina Rosette introduces sculptural detail that can serve as an elegant decorative accent.

Katerina Key Tassel provides an opportunity to introduce a small yet distinctive finishing touch to furnishings and accessories.

Katerina Tassel Tieback and Katerina Double Tassel Tieback offer an elegant way to gather luxurious draperies while emphasizing the artistry of the window treatment.

How to Incorporate Katerina Trims Into Your Home

Luxury decorative trims are among the most effective ways to introduce individuality into an interior.

Whether used sparingly or as a defining decorative feature, the Samuel & Sons Katerina Collection offers opportunities to personalize upholstery, drapery and decorative accessories.

1. Elevate Custom Drapery

Drapery offers a particularly beautiful opportunity to showcase elaborate passementerie.

Consider adding Katerina decorative borders along the leading edges of full-length curtain panels or incorporating tassel tiebacks into formal window treatments.

Bullion fringe can introduce softness and movement, while a narrow gimp or cord can create a more tailored finish.

For a coordinated design, pair the collection with luxurious designer drapery fabrics.

2. Add Distinction to Upholstered Furniture

Decorative trim can dramatically change the character of an upholstered piece.

A sophisticated woven border along the base of a sofa, decorative gimp outlining an accent chair or fringe applied to an upholstered ottoman introduces craftsmanship and visual interest.

3. Create Statement Decorative Pillows

Decorative pillows are an excellent way to experiment with the expressive character of the Katerina Collection.

A simple velvet cushion finished with beaded fringe can become a striking accent, while a linen pillow embellished with a decorative cord offers a more restrained interpretation.

Pair Katerina trims with designer velvet fabrics for a particularly luxurious combination of texture and detail.

4. Bring Elegance to Bedroom Interiors

In bedrooms, traditional passementerie can add warmth and decorative sophistication.

Consider using coordinating trims on upholstered headboards, decorative cushions, bed valances and window treatments.

The Katerina Collection is especially well suited to bedrooms inspired by French classical design, traditional European interiors and richly layered luxury residences.

5. Mix Traditional Trim With Contemporary Design

Although inspired by historical interiors, the collection can be used to create striking contrasts in more contemporary spaces.

A sculptural tassel against simple linen drapery, an ornate border on a streamlined sofa or decorative bullion fringe on a minimalist ottoman creates an intentional dialogue between classical detail and modern form.

This approach allows the craftsmanship of the trim to become a distinctive focal point without requiring an entirely traditional interior.
