Lovely Spaces with Stripes ♥

Looking for one of the most daring of interior design ideas? It's stripes! On fabrics and furniture, on walls and floors, stripes can either complement or dominate a room - but both make a beautiful impact. While some homeowners are intimidated by such a bold interior design idea, the rule of thumb is this: a lovely space can't go wrong with stripes.
