Make a statement with sleek stripes

The stripe trend that’s taking the design world by storm is not based on bold colour or accent walls. Rather, it’s about using harmonious shades to create a soft, gentle build-up of colour that makes any space feel instantly brighter and larger. Choose colours that sit directly next to each other on the colour wheel, like blush orange and juicy berry tones, or dusty pink, eggshell and warm latte.

For a soft, delicate look, apply colour in stripes of identical sizes. If you want to make a bolder statement, try painting stripes in different widths or layer small stripes of colour on top of larger stripes. You can even use stripes to trick the eye - vertical stripes will make your ceiling appear higher while horizontal stripes will make a room look wider. Just remember to let the paint to dry completely between each stripe of colour so you end up with nice crisp edges.
