Cute, quirky stripes can add so much interest to any room. A small accent in displayed tableware, a little piece of art or a brightly striped tray is all you need to live colorfully in 2013. Even if color isn't your thing, chic classic stripes in neutral tones can still pile on the dimension and impact.
Layer stripes with textural solids for a subtle look, or mix and match various striped objects to get the pattern-mixing look that is so hot right now. Changing up the styling season after season is a great way to keep the look fresh! — Erin from House of Earnest

Black and white is bold, but the soft painterly stripes in this wallpaper are anything but. An entire room of this would be soft, textural and so unique. I'd love to see this paired with some funky colorful furniture — like a navy velvet couch!

This darling little carafe has serene cool blue and green stripes. It would look so pretty as a decorative object — and even prettier filled with a favorite beverage for your next party.

Stripes are awesome, and color-blocking is even more awesome. I love mint with navy, and in this simple, bold cushion, I think they're at home together. And they will be even more at home in your home.

I love this chest for the light stripes mixed with the really classic shape. Its pale ivory color would work well with so many different decor schemes (classic, luxe, global, girly), or it could even work when mixed with some heavier, darker pieces in a more masculine space.

Here's a pretty striped tray for your "pretties." I love this simple Breton stripe, especially because it is so highlighted against the chunky clear Lucite.

This pretty silk pillow is so much more dimensional than a standard stripe. The natural striations in the opposite direction of the black stripes keep this design fresh and not too overwhelming for your couch.

Although the stripes on this pillow are subtle, the sheen and matte finish make it luxe and bold. I'd pair it with a rich color in a geometric or something textural to set off the shine even more.

| The subtle dye effect creates a pretty, light stripe that would look awesome paired with a bolder regular stripe. |

An old-school ticking stripe on crisp sheets is a wonderful addition to the bedroom. I love the gray color and think that it would be just perfect paired with a geometric duvet.

Cotton cloth used for wrapping is nothing new, but these darling contrasting stripes make it seem that way. I love that this is a versatile idea and a gift in itself as well.

Bright poppy-colored stripes bring a lot of color to a room, and the gradient design directs focus to the center of the rug. A round table with a tall vase of flowers and stacks of books would look awesome atop this gem.

If straight stripes aren't your thing, this wavy Chalk Stripe rug from Martha Stewart is just right. It is bold enough to be an eye-catcher but irregular enough to be unique. Pair it with lots of textural neutrals for a classic vibe.

Bring focus front and center with a racing stripe armchair. It's not too over the top, but it still has just the right bit of interest.

The only thing that can make hot cocoa any better is drinking it out of this striped thermos. This funky and fun piece would look pretty sitting on open shelving in the kitchen as well.
