Welcome back my old friend! How lovely to revisit a detail that has become an afterthought lately. Reminds me it is still all in the details! The flange detail on upholstery and accents is a delight worth remembering. It's a subtle one but one of those fun ones when noticed. Need help with that room image above? Notice the flange on the round bolster on the bench? Okay, I saw you smile.
Something about flange detail in lieu of a welt that gives movement to a cushion or a pillow. Or pairing the flange with a welt. What a partnership! Leather flange, yum!
I'm not a pleat person, however a pleated flange paired with a smaller flat flange gives a drapery panel layers and personality!
And oh my detail-loving heart - the double flange is a good blind date to be sure! It's not just a cushion or a pillow. It's a design element - take the time to add the details!
Whether a contrast flange or not - this detail works in so many ways. But just like any other design detail - don't common it out. Give the flange it's throne.
Enhancing. Thought-provoked. Layered. That is what design detail is all about. This is the flange detail. Respect its place in your room design.
Welcome home, flange!
