Stripes in Decor

Stripes structure and energize. Vertical for height, horizontal for width: a powerful graphic tool.

Stripes on rugs for the floor, on cushions for the sofa, on wallpaper for the wall. Thin for elegance, wide for graphic impact. Two-tone for impact.

Pitfall: horizontal stripes in a low room that make it feel even smaller. Use vertical stripes to visually raise a low ceiling.

The main varieties of stripes in decor are fine, wide, irregular, monochrome, or multi-colored stripes. Each has a different graphic and aesthetic impact on the space.

The size of stripes in decor depends on the room's dimensions and your personal style. Fine stripes are better suited for small spaces, while wider stripes add dynamism to large rooms.

The most classic stripe colors in decor are black and white, blue and white, or gray and white. You can also opt for bolder shades like yellow or red for a more modern look.

Stripes in decor can be present on many elements: curtains, rugs, cushions, wallpapers, household linen... They bring character and depth to the overall decoration.

For a harmonious result, it is preferable to combine stripes in decor with simple geometric patterns like checks or polka dots. Avoid combining them with overly busy prints that would create an unbalanced visual effect.
