We're calling it: Summer stripes are the biggest microtrend taking over in interiors this season. Every preview collection we've seen has been filled with statement stripes in an array of uplifting colours – and we couldn't love the look more.
Stripes have always been a timeless choice for interiors. Take, for instance, the traditional ticking stripe that graces many a country home, to welcome a subtle hint of pattern to break up the colour scheme. And while subtle stripes are still very much a thing, this season they are being joined by bolder, more vibrant summer stripes that are loud and proud.
Everyone on the high street, from M&S to Dunelm, is fully embracing this joyful new look to welcome a touch of personality to our homes. Here's our curated selection of the exceptional striped homewares to shop right now...
The beauty of a stripe is that it works with all kinds of different interior decor trends. Unlike a more formal pattern, such as florals, a stripe can take on a different personality depending on the broader decor.
You can add a statement striped cushion as an accent piece in an otherwise plain room, or you can welcome a mix-and-match approach with stripes of different sizes and colours to build on a more maximalist decor. With many of this summer's stripes being bright and bold, the pieces work perfectly to inject a touch of dopamine decor into our homes.
