If you are thinking of re-decorating, you might want to consider stripes; they give a bold statement to any room and the bigger the stripe the more impact it will bring to a modern home.

If you’re feeling stripes on the wall maybe a bit too daunting then consider the flooring of your home, wide, dark bands on a neutral background can create a bold walkway in the hall, ideal for family homes, where an expanse of single flooring can show stains from many shoes passing over.

Various areas in your home can also undergo stripe treatment, you can create a balance with soft furnishings, by picking a stripe which is co-ordinated to your wall colouring and the another stripe to match the colour of your furniture, will create symmetry in a room and allowing the stripes to lose their formal impact.

Although, stripes can be placed in all rooms, sometimes just a little adds that wow factor.  The headboard in the bedroom can be upholstered with a striped material, you can choose to balance the stripes with your bedroom furniture and decor or create a statement headboard which contrasts.

There is so many ways in which you can use stripes to create that modern feel, being bold can make a world of difference.
