If you’re looking for an easy way to add some fun to your decor, try stripes! Striped accessories like pillows, throws and curtains can instantly update the look of a room without costing too much in time or money! From bright stripes to muted ones, it’s a look that’s sometimes nautical and always interesting. “Stripes on your walls can look sophisticated and tailored,” says Lisa Canning, designer, Lisa Canning Interiors. “Use vertical stripes to make a ceiling look taller, or horizontal stripes to make a soaring ceiling more cozy. If wallpaper is not in your budget, painted stripes allow you to really customize your colour scheme,” she says.
