Stripe Season – Summer’s New Décor Trend

Stripes are stepping into the spotlight this summer, bringing a playful mix of colour, pattern and personality to our homes. Whether bold and colourful or soft and understated, stripes offer endless styling possibilities in every room, easily adapting to fit the exact vibe of your space. If you are looking to refresh your space for the warmer months, here is how to layer in stripes while honouring your home’s existing charm.

Striped Seating

For a low-commitment style refresh, look to everyday textiles. They offer a quick way to layer pattern and colour without replacing your existing decor. One of Gisela Graham’s favourite styling tip is using striped cushions and throws to instantly elevate sofas, armchairs, and quiet nooks. The lines break up monochrome spaces and add rich texture. Plus, they’re ideal for summer styling: crisp blue and red stripes are perfect for a beachy vibe, while vibrant brights to bring seasonal cheer to a dark corner, turning a forgotten piece of furniture into the star of the room.

Linen Lines

Bringing stripes to the dining table is a simple way to make everyday meals and weekend dinner parties feel like a special occasion. Laid-back yet inviting, striped table linens capture an effortless hosting style while injecting fresh energy into your dining space. And because they’re so easy to switch up, striped tablecloths, runners and napkins can be brought out whenever you fancy a change, then folded away when you’re ready for something different. Mix and match them with your favourite tableware and seasonal accents to create a fresh look whenever you want a refresh.

Vibrant Vases

Smaller decorative pieces are a lovely way to carry stripes throughout the home while still making a statement. Striped vases are a perfect example, transforming a simple floral display into a stylish design feature. A particular favourite of Gisela Graham, our Modernist vases combine trend-forward design with timeless sophistication. Highly versatile, they can stand alone as a striking accent against a neutral backdrop or be mixed and matched to create a bold, maximalist look. Gisela’s top tip: Try dotting them throughout a room to create little moments of pattern and interest that feel considered rather than overly styled.

It's time to show off your stripes!
