We love striped walls. Whether they’re vertical (typically more traditional) or horizontal (more modern), we’ve never met a stripe we didn’t like. Vertical stripes are a great way to add height to a room, whether on the walls or on curtains. And if you like lots of patterns in your interiors, they’re easy to mix with florals and geometrics (great example of this below in a Tom Scheerer family room where the walls are swathed in a bold blue and white stripe and the sofa and pillows are a mix of large and small scale pattern).
In a living room of Carolina Herrera, below, the walls are striped as are the curtains and a few of the chairs. We love how inviting but still very dressy this room feels.
For a more modern beachy vibe, try vertical stripes like this:

It’s hard to tell in this photo from Elle Decor whether the walls are fabric covered or painted, but either way, they look fab.
A very thin stripe feels very chic in this bedroom, below.
