Striped Curtains

There’s something about striped curtains that can really work well with coastal interiors and period properties. If you’re looking for something simple and classic, striped curtain fabric can be a perfect choice.

For rooms with low ceilings, a vertical striped curtain hung from floor to ceiling can make the room feel much bigger and elongate the ceiling height.

A striped curtain can really make an impact. Make sure to use stripes sparingly; too many can quickly become overpowering. To balance the use of strong lines, organic shapes and rounded edges can be a great accompaniment.

Be mindful when picking your fabric on the width of the stripes. Thin stripes such as a pinstripe can give a room a more delicate look, while wider stripes make a bolder statement.

Will Striped Curtains Work With My Interior Design Style?

Striped curtains work best in spaces that give a nod to nautical or coastal themes as they are remeniscent of the sea. However they also work well in traditional tailored interiors.

Blues, yellows, and neutrals are great colour choices for coastal-inspired rooms. If you’re looking to use a stripe in a playroom or nursery, try pastel colours in shades such as sage or blush.
