Share a dramatic decorating moment with a Stripe! –
All you
need to transform a room from “drab to fab”.
Versatile
to the core, this workhorse simple pattern combines effortlessly with solids,
florals and other graphics - enhancing classic, modern and whimsical decor.
It is just a matter of how you use the stripes.

Add visual interest to all themes and styles.
|
With their strong visual interest, stripes have the power to reshape a space. Vertically orientated stripes will draw the eye up, creating the illusion of more height. On the other hand, horizontal stripes will encourage a side to side gaze, widening a room.

What colours do you use?. The
answer lies in the final effect you desire. Create
classic drama with bold contrasting colours in wide uniform stripes, e.g –
black and white wallpaper will provide an impressive backdrop.
For an elegant appeal, tone on tone stripes (almost
monochromatic) will be more subtle. Add a
playful, whimsical vibe with multi-coloured thin stripes (e.g bright
and beautiful in reds, oranges and limes). However,
take care here as too many colours can be rather jarring.

A striped accent can harmonise a busy space. As
this is a simple pattern, stripes interact with plains and other prints to
ground the organic lines and unify the hues of the prints and plains.

Consider using stripes on walls (via wallpaper or paint),
rugs, lampshades, cushions, blinds, curtains, crockery, tablecloths, napery,
occasional chairs. A little goes a long way here so be careful not
to overdo your enthusiasm.
