The Language of Patterns: Stripes on Soft Furnishings

Incorporating striped patterned soft furnishings into your home decor can bring a refreshing and lively touch to the space. It adds a sense of vibrancy, dynamism, and elegance, similar to the impact it has on our selection of outfits. So, here are some tips to help you incorporate those stripes in the best way possible:

First things first, consider the scale of the stripes in relation to the room and furniture. For larger spaces, go for bold and wide stripes that make a strong statement. In smaller rooms, or as accent pieces, narrow stripes can work wonders.

To keep things from getting overwhelming, mix those stripes with solid-colored furnishings. Solid-colored furniture, curtains, or rugs will create a visual break and prevent the space from looking too busy.

When it comes to colors, choose a complementary palette that goes well with the stripes. Look for colors within the stripes that you can echo in other elements of the room, like wall paint, artwork, or accessories. This way, everything will come together nicely.

If you already have other patterns in the room, like floral or geometric designs, make sure the striped soft furnishings you choose complement those patterns. Look for colors that tie everything together or opt for more subtle-toned stripes.

Think about where you want to place those stripy soft furnishings. Whether it's striped cushions, throw blankets or curtains, they can add visual interest to your sofa, bed, or windows. Just make sure the proportions work well with the furniture or space they're going in.

Don't be afraid to experiment with layering different patterns and textures. For instance, you can mix striped cushions with solid-colored or textured ones. This layering effect adds depth and richness to your overall decor.

Now, if you're feeling bold and adventurous, consider using striped wallpaper or rugs as statement pieces. An accent wall with striped wallpaper can become the focal point of the room, while a striped rug can bring some energy to the floor.

Remember that striped patterns can work well with various interior styles, be they classic or contemporary. Just adapt the width, color, and overall design of the stripes to match the aesthetic you're going for. Thin and subtle stripes are more traditional, while bold and contrasting ones lean towards a modern or eclectic look.

Keep in mind that balance is key. Make sure the stripes harmonize with the overall design scheme of your space. By carefully selecting and placing those stripy patterned

soft furnishings, you'll create an interior that's visually appealing, cohesive, and showcasing a piece of you!
