Whether it’s nostalgic candy-cane red, the freshness of green and white, or a totally unexpected Christmas color combo, stripes have a way of bringing instant cheer to a space. This season, I'm leaning into the pattern’s playful spirit more than ever, using it to add character, color, and a touch of fun to my Christmas decorating.
Decorating with stripes is a wonderfully versatile Christmas theme. Depending on what you pick up (and your interior design style), they can feel traditional or contemporary, tailored or whimsical, depending on the palette and scale. A slim ticking stripe can soften a Christmas tablescape with cottage charm, while a bold plate or striped shade brings confidence to a mantel or credenza. Layer stripes subtly or go all out – either way, they offer a fun alternative to the usual holiday motifs.
