Stripes are classic and stylish ways of adding pattern to your home’s interior design. Stripes work well in contemporary and minimalist styles of interior design. Adding stripes to your home décor is easy as they can be incorporated in everything from cushion covers and upholstery to carpeting and wall finishes. Horizontal or vertical, bold or subtle, wide or thin; these are some of the choices interior designers face when working with stripes.
Stripes can alter the perception of a space. Using horizontal stripes especially those in two tones of the same colour will make a space look bigger while using them vertically will give added height to rooms with a low ceiling. Most interior designers prefer to use wide stripes in large rooms since this can make small rooms look busy.
The more the contrast between the stripes colours, the more dramatic will be the effect. One of the best examples of dramatic stripes are black and white zebra stripes. Using black and white stripes gives a room an instant dose of elegance and drama. Colourful stripes can add vibrant and playful energy to a room. On the other hand subtle stripes can be the perfect background for art or even an accent wall to frame a classic piece of furniture.
