Pattern Focus: Stripes

Timeless, stylish, and versatile, stripes have remained a firm favourite in interior design.

A match made in heaven, stripes look especially wonderful on blinds. Their charming nature gives them an enduring appeal. They are perfect for integrating into any scheme. They can be as understated or bold as you like. Plus, they often draw the eye upwards, making a room feel taller and enhancing window spaces. We have rounded up some of our favourite ways to use striped blinds. So, dive in below for a dose of inspiration on using this much-loved pattern.

Use a Nautical Stripe for a Nod to Coastal Landscapes

Stripes are central to the seaside style, and capture the theme perfectly.

Blue is synonymous with the coastal style, so choose a classic navy finish. Alternatively, go for a delicate duck egg shade for a light, breezy feel. Pin stripes can create a sophisticated look too. Coming soon, our Expressions Collection of Roller Blinds contains 48 contemporary options. These include a striking selection of stripes. Prepare to see the full collection on our website on Tuesday 1st July!

Wider Stripes are Ideal for Creating Impact

Bolder designs are perfect for adding depth to your home, and pair well with other fabrics.

Choose an impactful block stripe in a stonewashed finish. Combine stripes of varying weights for visual depth. Pair a thicker design with a thinner pin stripe for example. Create a cosy reading corner by adding in check finishes for your upholstery, as well as cushions and throws.

Keep it Light and Welcoming with Nature-Inspired Stripes

Invite the beauty of the outdoors in with our designs.

Tropical prints add an element of fun to a room, whilst creating a focal point. These are also a contemporary alternative to more uniform stripes. Choose depictions of towering bamboo stalks or tropical florals in vibrant palettes. Pair with greenery, such as potted palms and ferns. This truly blurs the distinction between indoors and outdoors.

Pair Your Striped Blind with Matching Soft Furnishings for Cohesion

Tie your space together by using your blind’s design elsewhere in the room. 

Select a gorgeous, honey-toned stripe for your blind and cushion fabric, for example. Use a cohesive palette for your other furnishings too. Do this by selecting colours from your blind. Add in variations of the same colourway for balance and interest.
