Besides the fact that horizontal stripes make me look fat, I really dig them. Where did stripes get their start in decor history? I'm not sure. The Stripes Hall of Fame has inducted ticking stripes, seersucker strips, pin stripes, and lately, big, bold wide stripes.

In addition, designers are taking stripes to the next level. They run up walls, down floors, across seat cushions, and jump from walls to furniture.
A chevron pattern can compliment stripes in this very graphic room.

Why not run the stripes from the floor up the wall? It's definitely a conversation starter.

The way these stripes continue down the chair is a fun way of letting people know you aren't that conservative after all.

Black and white stripes will never go out of style. Note the way they coordinate with the throw pillows.

Even more coordinated, this chair matches the wallpaper. It's elegant kitsch (wow, I always thought "elegant kitsch" would be some sort of oxymoron, but here it's not).

These wild walls are a great contrast to the simply white tub.

I swear Gabe Kotter and his wife had these stripes in their apartment. Except it had the word "CLOSET" in the middle of it.

Breaking the striped wall up with the sunburst mirror makes the matchy matchy furniture work.

Striped headboards and footboards make these twin beds far from boring.
