For stripes that are very similar in shade. I have painted the entire wall the lightest color, then came back a day later, and masked off the darker stripes. This helps camouflage any slight imperfections with your masking off. (No white walls will show from where you didn't lined up the tape - like the first technique).

You can create a minilounge indoors as well, by converting a nook or a closet into a getaway. White and warm sandy beige paired with rustic wood would make a soothing palette.
The fun thing about linen and cotton is that they are so versatile and used for many different weaves. Some, like velvet, are delicate and elegant. Some give a more rustic vibe, like these burlap curtains that lend texture and depth to this nook.
