Patterned stripes are so versatile that you can blend them into any type of stylish room. The only problem with picking stripes is that there are too many options available. They come in vertical or horizontal styles; thick or thin widths; light or dark colors; mild or bold hues. No matter what style you choose, stripes have the power to become the best addition to your room!
These examples here make me want to create this effect in one of my rooms. Horizontal stripes are supposed to make the room look taller while the vertical stripes can function to make the room look wider. Equidistant stripes are classy and modern touches to the space. Subtle two-tone effects are easier to work with compared to bright colors but bold stripes are stunning to look at. Vertical stripes seems to be more common and easy to paint compared to horizontal stripes. There are a lot of factors to consider!
Finally, the most important factor is still creating color harmony in the room so that one hue doesn’t clash with the other. This goes back to the basics of color combinations and color schemes, so you can always refer back to common knowledge when making big design choices. The end result should send the right amount of energy, calming or energetic, that you are looking for in the room! I hope you like the way these rooms are decorated with stripes. I look forward to your comments!

What a great collection! I love stripes. Pinning! Thanks for linking to Tips & Tricks. Can’t wait to see what you link up next. 🙂
I’m a bit tired of plain walls and seeing the stripes reminded me how beautifully walls can inspire! A wonderful collection! Happy Pink Saturday!
Stopping by from Turn It Up Tuesday. I’ve been looking for a little inspiration for my foyer. I love the idea of strips on one of the walls to make an impact. Thanks for the inspiration.
My bathroom wall has strips and that’s the only room I dare to put it, lol. We are so happy you linked up with us at Thursday Favorite Things. XO
I love stripes too!
I love stripes on walls but my husband is not a fan at all…how do I convince him to let me do this lol
So beautiful! I really like the TOUCh of stripe. Like not a wrap-around pattern but just a pop of geometry and color. Cool!
Very nice! I never think of using stripes but these are all so pretty, I’m inspired!

I love the look of horizontal stripes best and someday maybe I’ll have the courage to try that in one of our rooms! First, I’ll have to convince my husband though! lol
Some of those rooms are so attractive. I don’t believe I’d like the stripes in every room of the house, but it’s really cool in some!
I love stripes. You have chosen some awesome spaces. I love them all.
I painted vertical stripes in similar shades to the ones in the third photo down, in the master bath in my last house. It really made a huge difference in the (previously wallpapered) room, and went well with the beach theme I had going. It wasn’t hard to do, and I’d totally do it again.
I haven’t thought I would like stripes on the walls. But they nice, clean and crisp.
you have such a good taste love each of the options presented here many thanks for sharing now I want to redecorate my house =)
I’ve never thought of adding stripes, but there are some neat ideas.
Some of these ideas are super-cute and would be so simply to spruce up a room
I love this idea! It gives a room a lot more character!
Those ideas are incredible, and now I’m thinking my home looks impossibly boring. I need to stripe things up!
I love this idea. Love. It. Especially Gray and white. So so so pretty. Hope to one day do this!
All of those rooms really look amazing. I love the stripes.
I love stripes on walls. We have a zig zag stripe on the wall in our finished basement and I think it rocks.
