The comeback of stripes
Add character to your space with stripes
Timeless, playful and effortlessly elegant. Stripes bring movement and personality into any space. After years of quiet plaster finishes and neutral themes in design, stripes offer that much-needed punch to your interior, while remaining relatively easy to style.
Whether bold or subtle, stripes have the power to refresh your interior without overwhelming it. A sofa, lounge chair or outdoor setting can instantly feel more inviting with the right selection of cushions. Discover different ways to give your space a more styled and layered look with stripes.
Striped accents, exceptional comfort
A striped cushion can add a subtle accent to your outdoor lounge setting. For a timeless result, it is best to work with a limited colour palette. Beige, off-white, or terracotta tones pair beautifully with natural materials such as wood or woven textures. Synonymous with sunshine, adding stripes creates a subtle holiday mood in your lounge area, perfect to feel completely relaxed at home.
Both for an expressive or subtle look
Not all stripes have the same effect. Fine stripes feel refined and subtle, while wider stripes create a bolder, more contemporary look. Mixing different stripe widths can work beautifully, as long as the colours stay connected. Choose soft, natural tones for a calm look and stronger contrasts if you want the stripes to stand out.

Stripes do more than add pattern, they bring warmth, rhythm and a vibrant sense of comfort to any setting.
Let pouffes make a statement
A striped pouffe is both functional and decorative. It can be used as extra seating, a footrest or a relaxed side element, while also adding a playful graphic touch. Because pouffes are easy to move around, they are ideal for experimenting with pattern.
Not a fan of stripes? By using lightly structured fabrics in one colour, you can already create a vibrant atmosphere in a subtle way. Play with fringes on the edge of a pouffe to add an extra statement.
Balance is key
The secret to styling stripes elegantly is balance. Combine striped cushions with plain fabrics to create harmony. Let one colour from the stripe pattern return in the rest of the setting to tie it all together. One or two striped pieces are often enough to change the atmosphere of the room.
