Whether it’s to add softness to a space, transform a table’s aesthetic, or accentuate a stylish silhouette, a table skirt’s true charm lies in its trim. Read on for inspiring table skirts and expert tips on how the right details can turn any table into a centerpiece of design.

BET ON BULLION

At the entrance to her waterfront home in Palm Beach, Jessica Lagrange chose the Bali Cotton Bullion Fringe for her foyer table, a classic choice to ground a circular table skirt with timeless appeal.

“When designing my foyer, I knew I wanted a table skirt that embodied an informal elegance while still adding a touch of whimsical play. The exaggerated scale of the fringe, and contrast in color, did just that. The bullion fringe added the perfect weight to allow the table dressing to bend slightly, softly kissing the floor, perfectly complimenting my home’s seaside charm.” - Jessica Lagrange

TEXTURE OR TASSEL?

Lindsey Herod demonstrates two different ways to trim a skirt's straight edges, by adding a simple, textural border or opting for flair with a lustrous tassel fringe.

CURVE APPEAL

Enhance a round table with a box pleated skirt, where shorter sections allow wide, graphic borders to effortlessly follow the table's natural curves.

"We wanted this box pleat skirt to juxtapose the femininity of the chinoiserie mural in the adjoining room so we created a clean and tailored look with tape trim in alternating widths, which gives the skirt just the right amount of detail without being too fussy or formal." - M + M Interior Design

BONUS POINTS:

Fasten those pleats in place with a
decorative closure for a tailored finish.

ELEGANCE, PERFECTED

For tables with varied contours, opt for trim like the Barcelona Fringe that effortlessly adapts to both rounded corners and straight lines for a chic finish.
