Borders In Design

Day to Day

Explore how you can elevate your designs with edges and borders...

In design, the edges and borders are perfect opportunities to infuse your creations with pattern and personality. They can introduce intricate details that elevate a design. On today’s blog, we’re excited to share some innovative ways we’ve played with these elements.

Headboards

Our headboards feature unique curves and outlines, bringing spontaneity to their depth and borders through vibrant colours and rich textures. Often, we enhance these edges with piping or studding, creating a striking contrast with the walls.

Curtains

When it comes to our windows, we adorn them with curtains that often incorporate different fabrics or trims at the edges. The depth of these borders varies, complementing the overall design scheme. Below, you’ll see cheerful yellow curtains embellished with a vibrant zigzag pattern along their leading edges, injecting a playful energy into the space while maintaining a harmonious balance with the surrounding decor.

Furniture Arrangements

The best furniture pieces often frame our sofas beautifully. At Ham Yard Hotel, we’ve paired characterful antique wood camel side tables alongside the sofas. These tables not only provide a stable surface for drinks or books but also create a sense of symmetry and balance within the space. The contrasting textures of the wood against the upholstered sofas add depth and visual interest.

Art Frames

Artworks truly shine when showcased in handcrafted painted frames. Throughout our designs, you’ll discover countless ways to create distinctive borders around art pieces. Techniques like hand painting, etching, and wood carving add layers of detail that draw the eye and enhance the overall aesthetic. These carefully designed frames elevate the artwork, making it a focal point within the room.

We hope this inspires you to get creative with the borders and edges in your own home!
