Horizontal Stripes

I recently made draperies for a bedroom using silk fabric with wide, horizontal stripes. I loved the bold look and how it made the small room feel so much bigger yet cozy all at the same time. Using stripes horizontally certainly isn't anything new; rugby shirts, Pendleton blankets and beach towels are just a few of the timeless items we are all familiar with. It is a simple concept that looks fresh and modern and is showing up on everything from cakes to iPhones.

I love to use horizontal stripes in window treatments too. I used one a few years ago with much smaller stripes, but the effect was similar to those you've posted. Love, Love, Love those red and aqua outdoor drapes!
