Remarkable Ways To Inspire With Striped Curtains

Read article : Remarkable Ways To Inspire With Striped Curtains

Curtains are an easy and practical way to add some color or pattern to a room’s interior décor. Sure, depending on the color palette, the style and everything else in the room, the type of curtains you choose need to be in sync with all those elements but there’s one option that always works: striped curtains.

Horizontal striped curtains

Horizontal stripes are useful for making a room seem larger although in some cases it’s merely a matter of preference and looks.{found on behance}.

When working with horizontal striped curtains, the color combination is important. You want the curtains to stand out without overpowering the whole décor.{found on caseygracedesign}.

The colors have to be chosen based on the function of the room. For example, choose neutral colors for a bedroom, colors that don’t disturb the eye and which match the rest of the room’s interior design.{found on tessfine}.

Turquoise curtains are particularly attractive and, since we’re discussing stripes, combine this exquisite color with white or ivory for a fresh look. It would help to also use turquoise for other accessories in the room as well.{found on tobifairley}.

The contrast between a dark color and a light one is strong but also elegant and timeless. It doesn’t have to be the usual black and white combo. So experiment with other similar combinations.{found on baahomes}.

Of course, black and white striped curtains are still a very valid option, especially when the rest of the décor is also based on these colors. You can choose to add a warm touch to the room with a bit of beige or light brown.{found on theyellowcapecod}.

You can match the curtains to the walls in which case they won’t stand out but rather blend in. this is a beautiful example and the bedroom is a suitable room for such a look.{found on brianwatford}.

A different option is to let the curtains stand out by using a color which contrasts with the overall décor. The pink stripe gives the nursery character and the color can also be seen in other combinations although none is as striking as the curtains.{found on sarahgreenman}.

These bay window curtains only have stripes on the lower portion but this doesn’t stop them from looking really chic and really beautiful. In fact, this is actually a very nice look which can be adapted to a variety of other interiors and types of windows.

There’s more than one way in which you can integrate a set of black and white curtains into your home’s décor. The horizontal stripes are only one of the many options. Vertical stripes, for example, can be just as beautiful given the right setting.{found on nicholeloiaconodesign}.

You can take advantage of the crisp and bold contrast featured by your black and white curtains to give the room a fresh look without necessarily repeating the pattern. You can also add an accent color such as green.{found on lizcarrollinteriors}.

When the room is already defined by mixed patterns and colors, the curtains can be just another feature to add to the list. Yet this doesn’t mean they can’t stand out.{found on lindseybinzhome}.

Opt for a warmer shade of white to avoid disturbing contrasts when the walls are painted a color such as brown for example. The curtains would integrate better into the décor if you were to also use black for other big elements, including furniture.{found on sylviamartinphoto}.

Striped shower curtains

There are tons of ways in which a striped shower curtain can offer your bathroom a lot of character and style. Even if the décor is bold enough without having to add yet another striking detail, the striped curtains can be just what the space need to look complete.{found on jerikoegel}.

Add a shabby chic curtain featuring a classy combination of colors you’ve chosen for the entire bathroom. This shade of mustard yellow is an interesting choice for the otherwise all white décor.{found on analogdesignstudio}.

Modern shower curtains take many forms. Some are really quirky, featuring unusual prints while others stay simple. Take this long shower curtain with beautiful gray strips for example. It’s interesting enough to stand out but not overly eye-catching.

A shower curtain with vertical stripes doesn’t stand out at all when it’s folded in a corner. But that’s only if the accent color you’ve chosen blends in and doesn’t really add any striking contrast to the mix.

Using only two colors for striped shower curtains is not a rule. Multicolored curtains are a beautiful option. Use them to break the monotony in a monochromatic bathroom or to simply add more color to an already colorful décor.{found on slogreengoods}.

Gray is a simple color often associated with modern interior because of its versatile and neutral nature. So you can’t really go wrong with a shower curtain that has gray and white stripes.{found on austarchitect}.

The stripes don’t need to be big to be noticed. These ones are really subtle and the curtain is actually very interesting. It’s the type of accessory that would easily blend in regardless of the style.{found on nanettewong}.

These vertical stripes are also subtle and, in a way, they define the bathroom pretty well. It could be because of the wall panels.{found on sarahphippsdesign}.

The yellow stripes on the curtains coordinate with the color on the wallpaper. It’s a cheerful shade and a good option for this corner bathtub, given that there are no windows to let in natural light.

The color on the shower curtains can also coordinate with other elements in the room such as the shelves, the bathroom mat, the towels and all sorts of other accessories.{found on donaroseneinteriors}.

This combination of colors and the proportions of the stripes is really fresh and chic and it’s perfect for the crisp white bathroom. Actually, one of the walls is painted a very faint shade of green.

House Tour: A Contemporary, Classic Cape Town Rental

Read article : House Tour: A Contemporary, Classic Cape Town Rental

Name: Melissa and James Lawrence
Location: Vredehoek, Cape Town, South Africa
Size: 1184 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years, renting

Cape Town-based interior designer Melissa and her husband James didn't want to invest a ton of money in this home since they are renting it. But because Melissa is in the interior design field, they knew exactly what could to be done to enhance the space and in a cost effective way. They've been able to cleverly add their own touches to their rental apartment, creating a space that feels like home.

The first task was to tackle the flooring, which was originally dark brown and in a poor condition. The light whitewashed floors that you see now required a lot of work, but the result is a brighter, more contemporary look they both love.

Melissa and James love entertaining so updating the kitchen was a must — and the space needed a major overhaul and some serious TLC. The cupboards were originally a mix of dark wood and grubby white, and so fresh white paint was an obvious choice. They also added pine door knobs for an inexpensive and easy update. James made the overhead copper utensil hanger (which creates a great focal point) and they added cut vinyl to spruce up the existing white tiles. This is also where Melissa spends time producing her soy candles for her Melissa Louise label.

Their apartment goes to show that with just a few clever DIYs and design savvy thinking, you can easily revamp a rental space. Just remember to get your landlord's approval before you start!

Apartment Therapy Survey:

Our Style:Our style has evolved over the years, from the eclectic mix of furniture that we first accumulated when we moved in together to now investing in classic furniture pieces that will last. We tend to gravitate to an overall contemporary look and feel with classic details.

Inspiration:As an interior designer, it is my job to stay up to date and be relevant; I am always inspired by the work of my favorite designers. Instagram and Pinterest are great tools for staying relevant and storing beautiful content that inspires.

Favorite Element:Melissa: Our high ceilings and the natural light that pours into every room. Often inner-city apartments can feel small and cramped; I love that our apartment feels light and spacious.

James:The lounge. It's where we unwind and watch series, play PlayStation and most importantly drink wine and socialize with our friends when they are over.

Biggest Challenge:The defined layout of our apartment. The closed floor plan means each room is separated from the others by walls and hallways. Hallways tend to be narrow and often have very little character.

What Friends Say:We aim to have a warm and comfortable home for our family and friends. Our friends echo this, as most nights are enjoyed over dinner and wine or even movies and popcorn.

Biggest Embarrassment:Melissa: Our bathrooms! They are outdated and tired, we have run over the finances but it simply isn't viable to do any major alterations to a rental property. Also sloppy workmanship in the past has left our vintage black cisterns speckled with paint...

James:Our bathroom! It's so old and I wish we could renovate and make it one large wet room! The bath isn't big enough for me, so a walk-in shower would be great!

Proudest DIY: Melissa: When we moved in, our floors were chocolate brown and worn through in places; they were in desperate need of attention! Having a creative eye I saw the potential they had when we first viewed the apartment. James and I sanded, treated and sealed the floors of the apartment ourselves, while living in the space. It was a tough two weeks, but it has really transformed the space and was SO worth it.

James:I made the copper utility hanger above our kitchen counter; a few trips to builders warehouse and there you have it. Super simple, but effective!

Biggest Indulgence:Melissa:Our five-plate gas stove and electric oven. We love entertaining, this was one of the best investments!

James:Our TV.

Best Advice: A lick of paint makes ALL the difference! It is a cost effective way to update a space, making it feel fresh and brand new!

Dream Sources: I love the convenience of shopping and sourcing online at places like @home living spaces, MRPhome and Weylandts, while finding hidden treasures at local antique shops. And supporting small developing businesses is a thrill!
