Vintage stripes and spots
Brian recently appeared in London Metro Home Comforts to advise on using vintage stripes and spots in your bedroom. Here's his top tips:
- Stripes and spots show personal boldness in room decoration and are a sign of strong feelings and creativity in a living style. Use vertical stripes in low rooms to create extended height and formality.
- Use one colour of stripe, like greys, blacks or blues for a tonal chicness or use multi coloured stripes in pinks, lilacs and lime greens for a fun and zesty high impact appearance.
- Tonal horizontal stripes create width and a chic look, great for smaller rooms. Bright colours can create a funky military look, great for Studies and Masculine Bedrooms.
- Polka dots and spots are back in fashion, for that girly wow, use polkadots to create an impact and dramatic feel. Pinks and aqua's should be used for prettiness and darker oranges, reds and greens for atmosphere.
