Furniture having detachable decorative trim pieces

Abstract

Decorative trim pieces having a variety of different shapes and colors and being configured to be removably attached to an exterior face of an article of furniture (e.g., a bookcase) so that the trim pieces can be detached from the furniture and replaced by different trim pieces by which to change the ornamental appearance of the furniture when necessary. Each trim piece has a set of plugs extending therefrom to be removably received by respective plug holes formed in the exterior face of the furniture, whereby to hold the trim piece in place. The decorative trim pieces and the plugs extending therefrom are preferably manufactured from a resilient cushion material that is adapted to be compressed and absorb impact forces in response to an individual inadvertently bumping into the article of furniture at the trim pieces that are removably attached thereto.
