Stripes Forever
A simple, uncomplicated alternative to florals and other patterns, stripes can add color and dimension to any room. Stripes can not only create more color, but can play with the eye's perception of height and depth, and can set apart sections of larger and more open spaces.
Yet, just as in clothing, stripes can be challenging. The wrong direction, color combo, or width can create disharmony and visual clutter. On the other hand, stripes done right and, more particularly, stripes done in a fresh way can create an entirely new space. And, yes, there are designer striped wallpapers that cost an arm and a leg; but with forethought and planning and careful execution, a good paint job can be just as amazing. So there's something for everyone.
This ideabook features many different styles and examples of what can be done with stripes. Which is your favorite? Do you know of a unique way to incorporate stripes into a dwelling?

Similar stripes but in a warmer shade of orange. The matching couch is a brilliant touch of the third dimension, and the plant, fabulous mirror, and print pillow break up the look.
