Trend – Black & White Stripes

The Scandinavians and the Dutch have taught us that black & white always looks cool and contemporary in our homes.

From this simple palette another trend is emerging, the use of black & white stripes are being seen, not only on our clothes but also in our homes.

Elle Decoration showcased this trend in their January issue in a bold, Memphis design group type of way, which is great if you want your home to be a big statement, but for me personally I prefer a more subtle way of using stripes.

I’ve put together a design board of some of the High Street products that have caught my eye recently that I could imagine using easily to fit within any existing scheme.
