A neutral living space is timeless for good reason. Light, airy colors provide a space with just the right blend of warmth and coziness. However, introducing pattern and texture to these rooms saves them from feeling flat.<\/p>\n

Take Naomi Watts<\/a>‘ living room: the cream-dominated space sees a delightful disruption via blue, striped pillows and a blanket, which add just the right amount of pattern to the otherwise matte room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As versatile as they are chic, stripes are technically always on trend, but designers say that they are having a real moment lately, making them a fantastic living room idea right now.<\/p>\n

According to interior designers, stripes are making a mark in design thanks to their visual appeal and vivid nature.<\/p>\n

Magdalena Gierasinska, head of product and displays at Barker & Stonehouse,<\/a> explains, ‘Stripes are currently proving popular in interior design because they offer a perfect balance of boldness and versatility. The clean, graphic lines add a striking visual element to a space, making them ideal for both modern and classic interiors.’<\/p>\n

They fit into a range of design aesthetics, from modern farmhouse<\/a> to quiet luxury<\/a>; however, there is one trend in particular that design experts say stripes evoke at the moment.<\/p>\n

‘French style<\/a> favors print and pattern, particularly the Breton stripe, a timeless and perennial favourite,’ explains Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Creative Director at French Bedroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘A touch of pattern can truly enliven a space. Stripes work perfectly on larger pieces of furniture like headboards to create a focal point in the room or equally well on soft furnishings like cushions or curtains to add personality and interest.’<\/p>\n

If you want to go for a more maximalist striped look, try introducing a striped sofa or rug, which pairs just as well with neutral accessories.<\/p>\n
