Update Your Home Decor with Striped Curtains

An easy way to update the look of any room is by installing new curtains. Striped curtains draw attention and instantly create a beautiful focal point in bedrooms, living rooms or other living spaces. Outdoor curtains can also be used to update outdoor living spaces. At west elm, patterned curtains featuring stripes are available in a wide selection of colors and come in both horizontal and vertical stripe patterns.

The Magic of Stripes

Stripes are a great pattern to use for window treatments. Not only does this pattern look great, but stripes can also trick the eye into perceiving your room and your window in a different way. Horizontal stripes create the illusion of a wider room while vertical stripes create the illusion of higher ceilings. If you use a longer curtain rod or install the curtain rod high above the window, you can further enhance the illusion of a larger window.

Using Stripes in Your Home Decor

Striped curtains are available in bold shades and muted neutrals. Bright and busy floor-length drapes will really make a statement in the living room. Keep the rest of the living room furniture simple but use a few bright decorative items or wall art canvases around the room to tie the look together.

Striped drapes in neutral tones will still draw attention but won't overwhelm a small space. Choose from a handful of standard lengths to ensure the ends of your drapes sit flush with the floor. Use small decorative details in the space to complement the curtains, like matching striped accent pillows or throw blankets.

Outdoor Striped Curtains

Thick stripes, especially those featuring red, white and blue, are often associated with nautical themes. Outdoor curtains with stripes make a beautiful addition to any coastal- or nautical-themed backyard living space. Hang these curtains from your front or back porch, roof overhang, outdoor cabana or canopy to instantly transport your backyard to the peaceful seaside. These curtains are made of durable, weather-resistant polyester to protect you from the sun and offer you extra privacy while you relax on your chaise lounger or outdoor sectional.

Dress up windows around your home with beautiful striped curtains from west elm. Stripes are a classic pattern that will never go out of style. Use these striped drapes to make your rooms and windows look wider and your ceilings higher, effectively opening up the space. Outdoors, create an at-home coastal resort with thick striped drapes that radiate nautical charm.
