Stripes Are Showing Up In Some Great Designs!

Stripes are all the rage on ceilings...

...when used on an accent wall...

...and when run around more than one wall.

I have no stripes...... yet - they're coming soon hopefully! Love all of these images!

L.Duncan@SisterWithStyle said...

Yep! But I'm really loving the stripes on the ceiling and the smaller stripes on the wall. Nice images:)

Love all of the stripes...especially the ones on the ceiling!

Kim said...

It's been on my list for almost a year now! My hallway upstairs will be getting stripes someday when I get to that project:). Love 'em!

Love the clean and bright look it creates. Love it on the ceilings!

Rachel P said...

Yes-I have stripes! I painted horizontal stripes in my entryway/hallway last year when my husband was out of state for work:) I knew he'd try and veto the idea so what better a time to get it done, lol. Thankfully he loves them as much as I do.

I also did 2 walls of stripes in my daughters room as well as a tree mural-using kristin davis as design inspiration:)

I've been thinking about doing stripes in my foyer. It has an 8ft ceiling & I thought vertical stripes would make the ceiling feel higher.
But I think horizontal stripes are more fun.

charmaine said...

Yes, I have stripes too! Gray ceiling stripes in my husband's office and also horizontal stripes in my entryway.

Tiffany said...

I love these stripes but sadly I don't have any stripes in my life. I don't know if I have the patience/skills to put up tape in a straight line. Maybe I'll get adventurous one day but for now I'll have to admire stripes from afar.

barbara@hodge:podge said...

Are there stripes in my home? You bet! I have striped pillows, roman blind, and walls! LOVE, love, LOVE stripes. They are a bit of an obsession here!

Love the stripes and LOVE your blog. I thought that I should say hello since I visit your site every day!!!... and it was so fun to stop by today and see a photo from my dear friend, Lindsay Brier from Anyon Interior Design, and her awesome nursery. (the one with the gray horizontal stripes)..Such a small world!

Laura@Elegant Nest said...

Oh yes...I too love stripes. Added horizontal stripes to my hallway last year...

It was alot of work...but worth it!

Lynda @ Happenstance Home said...

No stripes, but I sure could use some! They add so much personality to a space even though they are so simple in design.

I am a stripeaholic. I have stripes in my bathroom-- vertical stripes are a fantastic way to create the illusion of more depth in a small space. It took FOREVER and I thought about giving up more than a couple times in the painting process, but I persevered thankfully, because now I admire my stripes on a daily basis!

Sita said...

I am an absolute stripe fanatic! I love it for both fashion and home decor! I have plenty of stripes in my wardrobe...now I just need to find a wall (or ceiling) in my home to add some stripey fabulousness too! Thanks for sharing all the gorgeous striped inspiration!

Nancy said...

oh boy, just when I want to paint stripes, they seem to be showing up more and more, and not so unique... So Im thinking Vertical stripes or uneven, wavy stripes or something different!
Happy Weekend Janell!

P.S. don't forget our give away!

{Hi Sugarplum!} said...

The question is, where DON:T I have stripes...or want to put stripes?! My son's room has a striped wall, the guest bath is striped all the way around, my bedroom dresser is striped, and I've got another project on the brain that includes stripes!! Can you have too many stripes in your home?!?!

Blaise Adkison Interior Design said...

I love the stripes! I have always been a fan of stripes in fashion and love how they have found their place in interiors. I think stripes on the ceiling in a nursery is a brilliant idea, it adds intrigue and interest.

Yby5 said...

No stripes...yet! What a great way to bring in an element of suprise!

Thanks for sharing!

Chrissy said...

These rooms are so cute! I love painted stripes on walls!

a great round up from a lady with a great eye! LOVE stripes!

Janis@Home Style Interiors said...

Loving the stripes, I have a grey and white striped office and my daughter's room also has an accent wall done in stripes. Was thinking about doing a ceiling, but I may have hit my stripe quota for a single dwelling.......I'll just have to do it in a client's home;-)

lisaroyhandbags said...

No stripes in this apartment, except for some striped pillows (can't paint the walls). But I'd love some nice subtle grey wide stripes somewhere like in that nursery :)

Mrs. Chic said...

Stripes would be fun on our house, we don't have them yet maybe soon :) ?

Danielle Oakey Interiors said...

Yep, and I love them! You must check out my post today, we are on the same page!

Crissy @ House of Marlowe said...

There are tons of stripes in my closet but none on my walls yet. I love this look!

Emily said...

Great picks! Yes, I have stripes in my home. We used the same color with a different finish (ie glossy and eggshell) to horizontally stripe our living room. It took a week, which was fine b/c it was before my daughter was born. haha. I still love it three years later but didn't love the slow process. :)

Allison said...

Now where can I put some stripes in our house! These are all fabulous. They really add some depth and a touch of whimsy to a space. I love Courtney's (A Thoughtful Place) stripes she just painted on her wall in her bonus room. She did a beautiful job. Happy weekend, Janell.

Lisa - A Room with A View said...

I think stripes can be addictive. I have subtle stripes in my basement but looking at all the striped ceiling inspiration out there I wonder where I could put some more!

jamie @ [kreyv] said...

I LOVE stripes! Last summer, we painted stripes in our entry, and I seriously wanted to stripe my whole house--I know, a little much! I also love stripes on ceilings, but not enough to ever do it myself!

Dr. Wheel said...

I really like the 2nd to last photo. It looks very cute and comfy. Some of the stuff looks like the home decor items I bought from a site called World to Home.

Rosa @ FlutterFlutter said...

Love stripes! I could have used your first pic in my post today, even though it's not on stripes! Three of the items in it totally fit! lol

Have a great weekend Janell!
Rosa

Laura Lynn said...

Yep, on ceiling! And on the towels...boys' room...entry wall(sort of) they are a chevron pattern. You could even say in the other bedrooms because I have always painted a color 2/3rds of the way up the wall and do the other third and ceiling the same color to give the appearance of height but it kinda looks like a stripe!
