Here's every patterned piece I’m obsessed with right now.
There are many iconic patterns in the interior design world, but I’d argue none is more impactful than the stripe. As House Beautiful’s market editor, it’s my job to scout out and curate the latest in home design products, and stripes are always in. The pattern may have been included in this year’s Vogue Annual Interior Design Trend Report, but I would argue that stripes are not a trend but an evergreen design staple.
With a 700-year-old pedigree, it’s impossible to argue against the staying power of stripes. Sure, we’re seeing the rise in a more fun, maximalist approach to design—that’s partly why we’re seeing so many stripes. But stripes aren’t just for maximalists: The ever-popular print is one of the most versatile around, defying age, gender, and design styles. I’m seeing designers incorporate stripes not just through high-impact choices, such as for wallcoverings and upholstery fabrics, but also through subtler additions like lighting and tableware.
Whether you opt for ticking, barcode, pinstripe, cabana, or nautical Breton–yes, you have that many options, and more–stripes are for everyone and can go with everything. Need proof? Keep scrolling to see my curation of the latest striped products on the market right now, from tableware to furniture to textiles.
Sabai has recently partnered with Minna to deliver the most delightful collection of furniture and pillows that perfectly utilizes stripes. One of these bright, playful chairs is a statement piece. Take it a step further by adding a matching ottoman and/or pillow, or mix it up by pairing it with one of the other two colorways.
Just ask my roommate: I’m a little (okay, a lot) obsessed with glassware. It’s a perfect opportunity to have fun in your decor when your style is typically more subdued. These martini glasses from Fazeek are a quirky way to shake up your barware. Get it?
If you missed the second Parachute Camel Organic Resort Stripe Towel re-up like I did, allow me to introduce you to the Hawkins New York look-alike. This reversible towel has a dramatic cabana stripe that will instantly make you feel like you’re in the South of France—and it comes in the highly covetable sheet size.
Missoni’s certainly no stranger to bold patterns, so it comes as no surprise that the brand’s collaboration with Stark Rugs includes several excellent stripe options. Bring the iconic pattern into your space in a cool, calming way with this vibrant, painterly rug.
A gorgeously crafted tray is the perfect home accessory. The Edie Tray from CB2 is a unique take on the stripe made of thin strips of natural bone and black resin. The brass feet are an elegant finishing touch.
Schumacher’s Apollo Stripe pattern made its debut with Matouk on a tablecloth and quickly spanned other categories, appearing on placemats, guest towels, and now this plush matelassé coverlet and sham. Inspired by antique textiles, the subtle zigzag takes traditional striping and gives it a twist.
Black and white is probably the most classic of all striped patterns due to its striking contrast. It’s one of six options for this lamp base, so why not choose it—and top it off with a subtly contrasting forest green shade.
Talk about iconic! The Diane Keaton has brought her timeless style to the home market. Naturally, she has included several striped pieces in the first-ever collaboration with Hudson Grace. These ticking stripe linen napkins are an effortless way to incorporate stripes on your tabletop and in your home.
There’s no easier way to incorporate stripes—or any pattern for that matter—into your decor than with a throw pillow. It’s even easier when you opt for one in a neutral color palette. This subtle John Robshaw pattern works practically anywhere and is ideal for design lovers with commitment phobia.
