Stripes are a timeless print, it’s always here, sometimes a bit more on, sometimes a bit more off. This year stripes are making a huge comeback, and everybody is going to use them again! Why stripes? They have numerous advantages: they give your interior space a little more dimension and interest without too much additional effort, they come in all colors and scales to fit any space. Besides rocking stripe accent walls, this year is about striped furniture and textiles, too, so you will have a lot of ways to add stripes to your interior as you want.
What Interiors May Fit Stripes?
Stripes are perfect for almost any interior: modern, Scandinavian, vintage, shabby chic, farmhouse and many others, though in more contemporary and sleek spaces they can be not that welcome. Vertical stripes visually raise the ceiling, and horizontal ones make it wider. Contrasting color combos will bring more interest and color to the room, while more neutral and less juxtaposed colors will bring interest in a more delicate way, they are good to make a neutral space bolder.
Striped Accent Walls
A striped accent wall is the most popular idea for any space, it can be made with paint, wallpaper, even tiles and it will give a more eye-catchy look to the room. Go for any color combos that inspire you and that match the design of the space somehow. This way will require some effort to apply but the result will be amazing – a striped accent wall always has a great impact on the space. Making such a wall isn’t that difficult, you may go with stenciling or wallpaper yourself, even if these are all the walls.

Striped furniture is a cool idea for any space, and it’s easier to integrate into your home decor than a wall. All you need to do is to place some striped furniture pieces here and there, and if you don’t have any, change the upholstery. Striped furniture can be an easy DIY project saving your money and personalizing your space as much as possible.
