In the third episode of our new series, Decorate With Confidence, interior designer and House Beautiful’s expert colour columnist, Sophie Robinson, talks about decorating with bold stripes. ‘One of the reasons why I love a bold stripe so much is it’s just a quickfire way to add colour, pattern, and impact to your interior design scheme,’ says Sophie. Fun and playful, you can be as brave or as subtle as you want, from covering the whole room from the top of the ceiling right down to the floor, or adding in the odd accessory. Sophie says stripes can also be really useful in tricking the eye. This versatile pattern is brilliant for small spaces and Sophie explains how a striped wallpaper can make ceilings look higher, how curtains can elongate windows, and how a bold striped floor with a large area rug or painted floorboard can give the illusion of more floor space. Sophie, who is on a mission to inspire us to bring more colour and pattern into our homes, also shows us exactly how to use bold stripes to anchor a scheme when moodboarding and reveals her favourite high street picks. So watch the latest episode of Decorate With Confidence for styling ideas, practical advice, and shopping buys to help bring stripes to life in your home in an easy, accessible way.
