| 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.

| Black and White wallpaper makes a bold statement! |
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.
