Sew a striped

and pattern

COMBINE MONOCHROMATIC STRIPES
Mixing a variety of stripes in a single palette creates rooms that
feel dynamic and decorated, but not busy. Build the look around Bed, bolster pillows, curtains (as canopy), white sheets, candleholder, Ikea; settee, Biltmore; pillow fabric, sheet trim, Designer Fabrics;
a stripe with several shades of the feature colour. This allows for
greater flexibility: on the bedding and canopy, stripes from pale duvet, shams, throw, Lucca; pedestal tables, Liv by Au Lit; chandelier, AM Studio; lamp, Elte; plant, pot, Florigens Design.
blue to navy are picked up by accent pillows in the same colour
range. To break up the repetition of stripes on stripes, layer in one
or two different patterns in a matching blue and white scheme.

STRAIGHT THINKING

LIVEN UP ANY ROOM WITH STRIPES — BRIGHT AND BOLD,

OR CRISP AND CLASSIC, THEY’RE RIGHT ON TREND.
