seeing stripesby Natalie Bahadur |
There’s something about stripes that says spring and summer. Stripes add an instant nautical feel to your home, especially like the casual striped rug pictured here. Striped accessories like cushions and dishware are easy to add around the house and have a way of bringing a light and airy feeling along with them. The picture below makes me think of Nantucket in the summer; I can just smell that sea air — I love the effortless look of beach-inspired decor.

I looove the Pottery Barn awning stripes!
The May 2009 issue of Style at Home has even more stripes; associate design editor Brett Walther had staffers pick out their fave striped products for the We Love It column, and the choices are fab!
