Ever since I painted my (now six year old) son's nursery walls in a large scale robins egg blue and beige stripe, I have fallen in love with wide stripes on everything from upholstery, to curtains, to bedding, to walls, to you-name-it....There is something so visually stunning, energetic, and rhythmic about stripes while maintaining a crisp and clean vibe. Provided below are photos from various sources of decor pieces with varying stripe colors and scales.
With respect to curtains, I favor the quiet, seamless, blending-into-the-woodwork-so-to-speak minimal pattern/design OR the other extreme: large graphic statement patterns. I recently stumbled upon a variety of beautiful photos of horizontal striped curtains that I am simply crazy about! I learned that many curtain panels in the below photos were impressively handmade via piecing together different panels of fabric or painting methods...I have been known to take on a DIY project or two, but this just sounds a bit tedious for someone with ZERO sewing skills or ZERO blocks of time greater than 30 minutes....
