Striped print - a universal tool for adjusting the room
Leading fashion designers have long proven that striped clothing visually draws a silhouette in length or width. And a striped print in the interior can also help achieve a similar effect. Skillfully applying strips for decorating walls, flooring, furniture or decor elements, you can visually adjust the size of the room, hide architectural defects or arrange the necessary accents in the interior.
So, a horizontal strip on the walls can make the ceiling visually lower or visually expand the space in tight rooms, for example, in a narrow corridor or a small bathroom. But the vertical bands, on the contrary, magically help to "raise" the ceiling in low spaces. For example, a window in the kitchen, decorated with striped curtains, can not only become a bright accent to the interior created, but also visually extend the wall.

Width and color of the strip for decorating the walls
Black and white, blue-white, yellow-red - today the palette of striped wallpaper knows no boundaries. In all this diversity it is very important not to get lost, because the color of walls in any room is extremely important, because it is he who sets the general style of the interior and creates a mood.
Designers have long proven that striped wallpaper in soft pastel colors bring an incredible comfort to the interior, while multicolored and bright stripes fill it with joy. In this contrast strips give the interior austerity, clarity and geometricity, and the variegated, colorful and diverse give the room an emotional tone.
However, when creating a striped interior, not only the color but also the width of the strip is of particular importance. Thin stripes of pastel tones are good because from a distance they practically merge into a monophonic background, and near, although they become obvious, but do not ripple or "weight" the interior. They are ideal for decorating walls in classic living rooms and bedrooms in vintage or provencal style.
No less good in the interior of any bedroom looks and wallpaper pastel colors in a wide strip. Such wallpaper, according to modern psychologists, have a calming and relaxing effect on a person, they bring to the interior a sense of stability, calmness and good nature.
It is quite another matter - narrow stripes of contrasting colors. On the one hand, they revitalize the interior, bring dynamics and rhythm into it, on the other hand - attract all the main attention, pushing out other details of the interior to a secondary plan.
Designers do not recommend wallpapering with a bright and contrasting striped print all the walls, otherwise the interior can get too overloaded.
As a rule, such wallpaper wallpaper only one wall or a separate zone and combine them with monophonic canvases. Such a technique allows not only to bring a zest to the created interior, but also to place the necessary accents, for example, to allocate a bedside zone in the bedroom, a wall with a fireplace or a TV-zone in the living room.

They are ideally combined with monophonic canvases, selected in a single color scheme. However, in the children's room they can always be combined with wallpaper with a picture. The created interior will not look too congested, but, on the contrary, it will look very funny and dynamic.
- The more active the color strip on the walls, the stronger it needs support. Add striped walls can anything: pillows in stripes, linens or striped vases.
