Charlie's Room...Striped Accent Wall

With the deep angled walls of our new room for Charlie, we have been debating how to paint the walls. My contractor's designer, Stephen, stopped over today, and he gave me some awesome ideas!  He suggested a striped accent wall on the larger wall on the right, either in random sized stripes, or a pattern with varying sizes.  He is concerned that if we carry the stripes throughout the room (even if only on the flat walls), it could get too dizzying, due to the asymmetrical nature of the room. I have settled on Sherwin Williams Leisure Blue, and I may go with an alternating tonal stripe pattern with its lighter variation, Respite.  Now, I just need to figure out the exact stripe pattern....I have gathered a bunch of inspiration photos below...

Here is the room, and as you can see, the deep angled walls could either be treated as ceiling or wall....
Debating between a blue..I love them all!! Wish we could use all of them together, LOL!

I love the altnerating total blue stripes in this Serena & Lily Playa Stripe Dhurrie Rug...
So cute in this nursery!


I love the idea of alternating tonal stripes with white...

I thought this fun nautical room was interesting since it carries the stripes up the angled walls....but easier to do with a symmetrical room.

I LOVE this inspiration photo of this pool room designed by Luxe Interiors + Design...
(this might be my favorite of the tonal stripes!)
Love the blues with pops of orange...
DIY Network, another fun example of blue with pops of orange!



Fun ticking stripe with pops of color

Love this tonal ticking-stripe pattern...very cool!

And similar tonal ticking stripe only used once, interesting!


This is an interesting alternating stripe with thin white in between, sort of like a porch cushion...

Another cool random ticking-like stripe...

Base blue color with a ticking stripe in just white...
This also reminds me of a ticking stripe, but more random...very cool!
(Thank you Stephen for finding this fun example!)


I also love this alternating tonal stripe incorporating whites....
An interesting tonal pattern incorporating a khaki color....


Another tonal striped pattern, but all one size...
This one is Seattle Seakhawks inspired, I think, but a fun pattern using different colors....
A neutral stripe with fun pop of orange!

The basic, evenly sized/spaced stripes...


And here, in this case, they used the lighter blue for the rest of the room....
Just using two colors, but varying sized stripes....interesting!

Another example of alternating sized stripes...
And here, varying sized stripes....
Cute boy's room with standard pale blue stripes...



Now, this is random in both color and size, but I love the subtle changes of color tone.....Very cool and soothing!


Random stripes...

Random stripes...

How fun are these stairs!
Interesting small trim painted navy for a narrow stripe, with angled walls, but again the symmetry makes this easier...
Fun room with bold patterns and colors from Dimples & Tangles..

Bold navy and white stripes, love this!



Lots of fun options for stripes...
