Use stripes to accentuate or distract:
Stripes can be great distractor accents if you have awkward spaces or jagged architectural features. The stripes can help to cover or disguise those unique spaces or you can put stripes on areas to divert attention away from said places. Or perhaps, you may have slanted ceilings or other interesting architectural features that you want to stand out stripes are amazing about accentuating those features for display.

Patterns and solids:
When you are using stripes feel free to mix and match it with patterns and solids. The stripes can help to display different color schemes while helping to unify the décor within the space. By mixing the stripes with a bold solid you allow the room to have splitting contrast that helps to add more to the space.

Hint of texture or bold statement:
Stripes can be bold statements within a space or little hints of textures around the rooms. You decide on how you would like to present your stripes. Placing stripe patterns on the walls, furnishing pieces or area rugs can add visual interest and set the tone for the atmosphere for the space with little effort. The stripes on the wall can even provide an accent wall or the artwork that is placed on it.
