Blue Trims

Blue Trims by the Yard

Blue trims bring energy, personality, and a touch of the unexpected to upholstery, drapery, pillows, and custom soft furnishings. Spanning the full blue palette — from soft aqua, sky, and powder blue through cobalt, canton blue, azure, marine, navy, and deep indigo — blue passementerie is one of the most versatile trim colour families, equally effective as a tonal companion to blue fabric or as a fresh contrast against neutral and white textiles. At The WorkRoom, our blue trims collection spans cord, fringe, braid, tassel, border, and tape constructions from leading luxury passementerie brands, sold by the yard. Samples are available for most styles before committing to a full order.

Types of Blue Trim

Blue passementerie is available in every construction for different finishing needs. Blue cord trim — twisted, twisted with lip, and flanged constructions — is the most versatile blue trim, offering clean, graphic edge definition on pillows and upholstery in everything from sky blue to deep navy. Blue fringe trim — bullion, cut, and looped — brings movement and decorative finish to drapery hems, cushion edges, and furniture skirts, particularly beautiful in cobalt and navy tones. Blue braid trim offers flat woven edging in the full blue range — from relaxed aqua for coastal pieces to formal navy for traditional upholstery. Blue tassel trim in navy and cobalt adds bold, sculptural character to cushion corners and drapery tiebacks. Blue border trim — including hand block printed tape designs — delivers decorative banding in the full blue palette for drapery panels and upholstered pieces.

Matching Blue Trim to Blue Fabric

The blue palette spans so many tones that trim selection requires careful attention to undertone as well as depth. Light aqua and sky blue trims pair naturally with coastal linens, chambray, and pale blue wovens for a fresh, airy finish. Mid-tone cobalt and canton blue cord and braid coordinates with ikat, printed cottons, and bright patterned upholstery fabrics where a clean tonal edge is needed. Navy and marine trim works beautifully alongside navy fabric, indigo fabric, and deeply saturated blue velvets — a tonal approach that adds refinement without introducing a new colour. For coordinating fabric options across the full blue range, explore our blue fabric collection.

Blue Trim as Contrast

Beyond matching, blue trim is one of the most effective contrast finishes in the trim palette. Navy cord or fringe on ivory and beige upholstery fabric creates the classic blue-and-white scheme — crisp, coastal, and enduringly elegant. Cobalt tassel trim on a warm neutral velvet introduces a jewel-tone accent that enlivens without overwhelming. Aqua border trim on white drapery panels brings a fresh, coastal note to a neutral room. The blue-and-white combination in trim has centuries of precedent — from Delft ceramic to Greek island architecture — making it one of the most timeless finishing choices in residential design.
