Stripes Alter Perspective

These aren’t just some pretty lines we’re talking about. Using stripes in the right way can literally shift the way you and others see your bedroom. Stripes can make a room look and feel bigger, taller, grander. Horizontal stripes typically make your room look wider and vertical stripes make it feel taller. Those are some powerful lines! And one of the best ways to quickly transform any room in a way that perfectly matches your sense of style.

Stripes Accessorize

Shaking things up with stripes doesn’t have to be a big ordeal. One quick way to introduce your room to some of their visual and psychological perks is to add striped accessories—such as small pillows, shams, bed covers, even blinds. Adding these creative tones can really change the way one perceives a room. Plus, with small accessories you can easily change up the feel based on mood, seasons, or other factors.

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary of peace, happiness, and inspiration—but it should also be fun.
