Stripes: Walls, Rugs & Fabric.


Butler's Pantry w/ horizontal stripes
Interesting little twist - I like the chocolate brown & white!

Nate Berkus Apartment
 Love, love, love this table cloth!
...and look at those gorgeous candlesticks!!


 Lavender & Cream
It looks so sophisticated with the antiques and art.

Miles Redd
Black & White stripes in a more classic setting.

 A bit more fun and fresh w/ the red & white.
Notice the small white stripe at the top - adds interest.
 
Black & White Rug
What a stately bathroom!
Notice the vertical stripe rounds up the ceiling, bringing the eye straight up.

 Suzanne Kasler
Striped dining chairs - ran horizontally.
 This is such a delightful little foyer, all black & white.
And natural greenery as an accent color.


 Last but not least, this simple almost all white room.
Love the contrasting black and white rug & pillows.

Whether you're bold enough to paint stripes on the wall, horizontal or vertical, or you just add a touch of stripe to your room it's a great visual. As you can see the butler's pantry photo adds great interest but isn't harsh on the eyes, they chose softer colors than black and white, and also painted wide horizontal stripes. Something like that bathroom with the copper tub isn't a main living space so it's a bit more intense. Where will you be adding stripes?
