Fun with Stripes

Patterns and stripes can be dramatic when decorated in black and white. If that is too overwhelming and you prefer something a little less intense, dots paired with stripes will work wonderfully. When done in black and white, the combination is formal, but playful. Striped table runners and polka dotted napkins, polka dot ring pillow with striped ribbons, there are so many ways to incorporate this look into your decor.Have more fun with this combination by using a range of colours instead, it will look ultra cheerful and vibrant.

Being Glamorous with Stripes

Decorating with mishmash of patterns can be challenging, espceially when it's so easy to fall into the error of messiness. But when done in moderation, can create a very interesting palette. Damask patterns paired with stripes, and coloured with black and white, can look very sophisticated, just be sure not to go overboard. Bring damask patterns onto favor boxes and table runners, and have stripes on napkins and tableware, all in black and white. To add that burst of colour into the decor, introduce flowers in either fuchsia or cornflower blue.

Fluttery Blooms

Blooms of peonies, ranunculus, garden roses and fringed tulips create a soft and romantic vibe, and pack such a big visual punch. Big blooms are perfect for creating a feel of lightness when paired with organza. Lace and flower appliques provides added details to the decor.
