How to Use Stripes in Styling Your Home

Horizontal stripes draw the eye from floor to ceiling, thereby making your room feel higher than it is, adding a sense of grandeur to even the lowest of ceilings. Perfect in attic rooms, team it with a bespoke blind on smaller roof windows.

Vertical stripes are your best friend if you have a small or narrow room. The effect of having stripes running across the room like this makes it look wider than it is. This is a perfect, fun way to liven up kid’s rooms.

Stripes can be hard on the eyes, we know this. But the clever people at Ian Mankin know this too. They dye the yarns that they use to create the tight weave in their stunning Ticking 01 collection. This means it’s not printed, like many fabrics are, creating a much softer effect!

It can be hard to know which fabric is right for you. Ticking 01 is a durable, tightly woven fabric that can be used not only for bespoke curtains + blinds but is also robust enough to reupholster furniture, while remaining soft enough to use in soft furnishings. Sounds like the dream fabric, right?!

Not to be forgotten, the Angus Stripe is a very laid back, chill fabric which will fit into practically any existing decor scheme. Made from 100% linen, Angus hangs beautifully, creating movement with it. We love the breezy beach vibes it gives us.
