Modernise a room
with bold horizontal stripes for instant retro chic. Make
use of left over paint or invest in colourful sample pots
and continue the theme with matching fabrics. A set of dark
rattan chairs and a plain pine table are painted to sit
within the scheme.
For a
subtle interpretation of the striped theme, opt for soft
furnishings in dramatic designs. Pick out one colour within
the design to paint walls and woodwork or update existing
paintwork by adding a strong co-ordinating colour onto one
feature wall.
Set striped
accessories, in tonal shades of honey, against a background
of deep ochre walls. Stamp your individuality on a room
and revamp accessories with hand painted stripes or personalise
soft furnishings with the latest fabric paints and lengths
of masking tape.
