Pillows are the jewelry of the bed or couch. They bring in accent colors, add pizazz and, quite often, become focal points. A little flirty trim is one of our favorite ways to dress up a pillow to make sure it doesn't fade into the background. Fat pompoms, dramatic tassels and subdued fringe all have their place in the pillow world. Take a look at these pillows for a little fringe-spiration!

| Fabric always comes first, but a dash of coordinating fringe adds so much style. A plain bolster in this room might have felt boring, but a row of fringe brings it to life. |

| One of the best things about fringe is that it's an inexpensive way to customize store-bought pillows. If you aren't having your pillows custom made, simply invest in a good hot glue gun. Shoot a thin line of glue around your pillow and stick the edge of the fringe to it — easy! |

If your home is designed in a neutral or white-on-white style, trim is a great way to add dimension while staying true to your palette.
Is your bed too sophisticated and grown up? A touch of fringe can add that perfect pop of whimsy.
Pillow fringe also can help bring all of the colors in a room together. Try pulling out a less noticeable color in a pillow's upholstery by repeating it in the fringe — or find a piece that incorporates all the colors in the room and put it on a solid pillow.

| Don't forget your outdoor pillows either. Outdoor fringe is becoming easier to find, and some companies, such as Ballard Designs, carry reasonable outdoor pillows with fringe already attached. |

| In a spot with a lot of pillows, remember not to get too overzealous with the fringe. One or two well-chosen pillows is enough! More: Decorating is In the Details Furniture With Flair Pillow Fight: Making the Most of Pillows |
