A welt—also known as piping—is a decorative ridge of fabric around the edges of a cushion. A welt is typically filled with a thin rope to help it keep its shape. A welt made of the same fabric as the cushion is known as a self-welt, while a welt made of a different fabric is known as a contrast welt.
What does a welt do on a cushion? A welt adds structure as well as style: it reinforces the seams, helps the cushion hold its shape, and gives outdoor furniture a crisp, tailored finish. Which welt style should you choose? A self-welt creates a clean, understated look that blends into the cushion, while a contrast welt outlines the cushion's shape and adds a pop of color that can coordinate with pillows or other fabrics in your outdoor space.
