An Ode to Stripes

All-Things-Creative Wednesdays

I am really loving stripes right now - especially bold black and white stripes! Stripes on the walls, stripes on the floor, stripes in the fabric, stripes on the facade. Depending on the look you're looking for, they can be paired with pretty florals for a romantic vibe or with bright solids to make them pop.

Bold black and white stripes carried onto the ceiling elongate the height
of this nook.

The lovely Sassafraz in Yorkville with its striking yellow facade and striped awnings.

Who can resist a baby pink house with striped awnings?!

The legendary Fashion Crimes in Toronto. My favourite - black and white stripes
with hot pink! Their window displays are also to die for... if ever in the area
(located on Queen W) be sure to drop by - glamourous party dresses from floor to ceiling!

Such cute socks :)

Max Axria's (of BCBG) living room. LOVE the funky chair and ottoman!

The mirrored surfaces and lucite are stunning in combination with the stripes.

Horizontal stripes help to elongate a room and make it appear larger. I love the
primarily white furniture with dashes of colour carried out throughout the space to
accent the walls. And the cushions are gorgeous!

And of course, here is the charming room we stayed in at the Captain David
Kelley House in Cape Cod. Since the post is an ode to stripes I just had to use this photo
again to showcase its darling periwinkle stripes with floral bedding.

What are your thoughts about stripes? How would you use them in a room? Do you ever wear them?
