To trim or not to trim?

When does decorative trim get to be too much on a pillow?

Pillows just aren’t as embellished today as they were five to ten years ago. Fringe, tassels, pom poms, and rope trim have become less and less prevalent in interiors. I think interior design in general, is becoming more simplified. White walls, self welting, unfussy window treatments, and cleaner lines seem to dominate the pages of magazines.

What trim are you loving, if any? Or are you a predominantly self welter like myself? What type of trim do you wish would disappear?

Personally, I am loving the look of simple tape trim to create a graphic look (just like Drew’s X pillows!)
