Get your stripes

by Andy Black in Style & Interiors on 26 November 2010

Stripes are back, in sexy, relaxed, super-soft shades. It's a look that works especially well if you love neutrals but want to spice them up with bold yet understated patterns.

The colours you choose for your stripes are key: mocha, cream and duck egg are a dream ream - a match made in heaven. But you might want to try other shades that are 'in' at the moment - think blush, peach and cream. These muted stripes will add a sophisticated tone on tone look to your walls.

You can of course go for wallpaper, but if you choose to paint the walls  yourself, the process involves drawing or taping vertical or horizontal lines on  the wall and then filling in the blanks with alternating colours. Vertical  stripes will make your ceiling appear higher and add shape to a boxy space.  Horizontal stripes make a room appear larger than it is and they appear to draw  the ceiling down.

But why stop at the walls? Soft furnishings can create the effect you want  too. Striped rugs and cushions are never boring. Feng Shui teachers say that  stripes in the home bring happiness and that they symbolise fresh ideas and  creativity. What's more, black and white stripe bedroom décor is said to improve  relationships. In that case, Sliderobes could have just the answer.
