decorative edging

Fancy finishing strip

Decorative edging is ornamental trim applied along borders or margins—on fabric, gardens, paper, or architectural features.

The phrase emphasizes appearance over function: decorative edging around the flower beds, a tablecloth with decorative edging.

The trim frames or finishes an edge while adding visual interest.
