How to Style Stripes in Your Home & Garden

Stripes are a timeless print that can effortlessly enhance any interior, offering versatility and a touch of sophistication. From bold thick stripes in primary hues to more subtle small stripes for a soft approach, this classic print can be styled in various ways. Here's how you can incorporate stripes into your home décor. 

Stand Out Stripes on Furniture 

Make a statement with the Brea striped sofa or striped armchair as an accent piece. These bold pieces can serve as the focal point of your living room, adding both style and comfort. Alternatively, pair the Brea footstool with a more neutral sofa and some plain blue or striped cushions to pull the overall look together.  

Striped Accessories 

Unique home accessories are the perfect way to add touches of colour and pattern to your interior space. Opt for striped plates, table mats, vases, or candles for a subtle nod to the trend. These smaller elements can tie a room together without overwhelming the space. 

Stripe cushions, throws, or rugs are perfect for bringing texture and pattern into your home. These elements can easily be swapped out to refresh your space with the changing seasons. Introduce striped pillows and bedding to elevate a bedroom, or a striped tablecloth to add interest to a tablescape.  

Incorporate the Kateli stripe table lamp to add a stylish touch and visual interest to your space, or style a plain lamp base with a stripe lampshade to refresh a cosy corner. Lighting can be a subtle yet impactful way to introduce stripes into your décor.

Styling Stripes 

Think of stripes as a neutral and team them with bold florals, clashing checks or different styles of stripes for a striking contrast. Don’t forget to mix in some block colours too, to complement your choice of design.  

This approach adds depth and personality to your décor. For smaller spaces opt for slim stripes like ticking stripe for fabrics or wallpaper. Wide statement striped pieces work well in larger rooms or spaces.  

Garden 

Have fun with your outdoor space by elevating garden furniture such as a sofa or dining table with a striped table runner or outdoor stripe cushions. This can create a fun and inviting atmosphere for alfresco dining.

Opt for a large outdoor rug in a colourful stripe and layer your sofa with a striped blanket along with a few colourful garden accessories such as a portable lamp or candle.  

By thoughtfully incorporating stripes into your home, you can create a stylish and cohesive look that reflects your personal taste.
