Is your social feed full of stripes? Ours is, and we're here for this trend making such a big comeback (did it ever really go away?) Stripes are an enduring favourite in both fashion and home décor for three good reasons: they’re chic, simple and timeless.
Whether you choose bold Breton style stripes, playful pinstripes or organic stripes, they’re sure to add style and character to your home. So what are the best ways to incorporate stripes into your home? Read on for our top 5 ways to use stripes in your home décor.
1. When it Comes to Stripes, Start Small
If this is your first foray into striped interior décor, we suggest starting small. Adding striped cushion covers over your sofa cushions is an inexpensive, low-effort way to nod to the trend. But that doesn't mean it won't have a big impact.
These bold ochre and off-white stripes will look chic for years to come. And these finer stripes, paired with the ruffle add a delightful playful touch.

So do stripes and florals go together? Yes! Don’t be afraid to mix stripes with other patterns. As long as you keep a toning colour palette, stripes act as a neutral.
And we also love a monochrome stripe, and this cushion has a trending scalloped frill too.
2. Ground Your Décor with a Striped Rug
Striped rugs are a guaranteed way to ground your interior theme, and our KICHANA Large Natural & Black Woven Sisal Rug fits the brief perfectly. Wouldn’t it look gorgeous with the monochrome cushion above?
