Currently, the strip is not just a trendy trend in clothes, but also the main trend in interior design. It is used very often simply as a decorative device that sets a certain rhythm, making the interior more dynamic and alive. A strip in the interior is an alternation of contrasting colors that attracts attention.
Walls in stripes
Such "strokes" on the walls, as well as strips can be used in almost any interior. Neat stripes on the main wall in the room or on all walls not only look exquisite, but also allow designers to experiment with the visualization of space.
The bands can be completely different - moderate, refined, intricate, fantasy. The most important thing at the same time is to choose a design that is suitable for your room, so that each detail looks harmonious, like a painting painted by one artist.
One of the most common design solutions is use of blue stripes in the bedroom.This graphic linearity is very well combined with the straight lines of your furniture. Also, you can use striped patterns in bed linens.
Broad strips will bring the spirit of modernity to the interior of the room. For such bands, you can use matte or metallic shades.
The success of any design project, in which the striped walls participate, depends on the correct choice of color. Here is an example of a very effective combination - olive greens and a light emulsion of a gray metallic shade perfectly complement each other.
- And in order to achieve an even "line of separation", you can use a sticky tape.
- And first apply metallic shine, and then paint. When painting, brush from the center of the tape to the center of the strip, but not vice versa.
Choose strips for walls
Vertical stripes on the walls will introduce symmetry into the room, and also visually "stretch" it to the height, horizontal, on the contrary - will make the room wider, but the ceiling thus visually will appear lower.
Broad and at the same time contrasting bands look not only elegant, but also exquisitely and neizbito. And the more their width, the more insignificant will be the visual "compression" of space.
Remember that narrow strips at a certain distance can merge into one color, so they may not be noticeable. Wide bands, on the contrary, will attract attention, will look spectacular and fashionable. In this case, the colors of the stripes can be either from the same color scale or from contrasting colors.
If you want to use the wallpaper for painting, then your walls should be perfectly even, otherwise this way you will only underline all the shortcomings.
If you want to realize such an idea in the interior as, then remember that they are combined with almost all the objects of the interior, except for those few styles that by definition do not have straight, even lines.
If you want, you can "issue" only one wall (strips at the same time should be wide and not contrast), then this design will make your interior more solid. Interior will look harmonious, if it will be present wallpaper in the same color or stylish accessories.
How to paint the walls in stripes
- In order to make your walls striped, you will need: paint tape, matte varnish, paint, a narrow brush, and a roller.
- To begin with, you need to mark a pencil on the wall where you will have strips, then paste the paint tape so that the pencil marks are subsequently painted over.
- After this, apply a matte lacquer with a thin bone. This is done to fix the tape. Also, the varnish will help to avoid getting the paint under the scotch tape.
- Then, between the strips of scotch, you can safely apply the paint roller.
- Do not hurry! Remove the scotch only after the paint dries completely, so that there is no staining.
Striped walls - photo in the interior: strip strip strife
When creating your own interior, do not be afraid to experiment. Sometimes, the most daring design solutions look especially refined and beautiful!
And today we'll talk about the stripes in separate rooms - this gallery contains detailed recommendations for the selection and 36 photos of interiors with examples for your collection of ready-made solutions.
First a little about why these rooms were chosen.
For the living room, hall, kitchen and office, you can safely use the general recommendations from Part 1. There are also a lot of pictures with examples of these rooms. But the bedroom, bathroom and children's are "zones of special attention".
Bedroom - this is the room where we relax, so what looks good and effective in the living room, lounge or study, here can interfere with a good rest.
Concerning bathroom, then, as a rule, its dimensions leave much to be desired. And strips - or rather, their imitation with tile decoration - will help to achieve a visual expansion of this small room.
Children'sis chosen for two reasons. Firstly, because it also requires a certain measure of the use of strips: by the color scale and by the number of striped parts. And, secondly, this room has several functions, some of which (for example, a place for study) can be "designated" with the decor of the walls: in our case, stripes. But you will learn about this in Part 3 - it will refer specifically to stripes in children's rooms - for different ages. Want to know more? Go to the first section of this part. He touches the bedroom, and the second section - about the stripes in the bathroom.

Strips in the bedroom decor
If you like the strip, then it's good to remember that there is no place for annoying contrasts. In any case, in large quantities.
If the strip is planned for the entire surface of the walls in the bedroom - are best suited for this combination of light and pastel colors.
If you like brighter shades and vigorous contrasts, - choose a separate zone, which you want to highlight with the help of such decor, for example, the wall behind the head of the bed.
If at all you prefer discreet tones, but the strip is required for visual "stretching" of the wall (remember, we?) or necessary for a variety of colors - then you can use the "soft option" - wall moldings. a similar effect can be achieved for the sex (although it will not be too significant)
Also with the help of a strip you can emphasize the chosen style of the interior. Pastel colors are well suited for classics, especially close to the style furniture. Brilliant thin strips are an element of glamor. Matte in natural shades - country. The combination of white, blue and yellow stripes, especially with the support of wicker furniture and accessories recalls the summer and beach style
The width and color scale of the strips can accurately denote the floor of the owner of the room. This does not mean, of course, that there are no stripes of cold gray-beige shades in the women's bedroom. The personal right of everyone is to use what they like. But there is a proven fact that the female face and body are much fresher and younger looking surrounded by warm shades of pink and peach scales.
If the strip is like, but in limited quantities, - think about bed linens with such a pattern. On it, the strip looks even more beautiful than on the walls. In addition, it is a softer version of its use. But if you like linens in stripes, - walls are more appropriate to make monophonic.

Strips in the bathroom decor
In the bathroom, you can create a strip pattern using friezes, mosaics and contrast tiles. This, as a minimum, will add variety and effectiveness. And if you want a visual increase in volumes, this option will be very effective.
By the way, I'll share the way, how you can save on the frieze and decor (because they are sold individually and greatly increase the cost per square meter of tiles, and the installation of friezes is considered separately).
So, you abandon friezes and decors and just get a tile from the same collection, but another (harmonious with the main) color in the proportion of about 25% of the total (ie 3 \\ 4 of the main tile + 1 \\ 4 contrast or more dark).
Then create "strips" from the tile of the second tone, ripping the monotony of the main tile. The most effective way looks like this: about 3-4 rows wide in the mirror zone + one row on other walls or in the corners. It turns out effectively, but much cheaper than buying a "traditional gentleman's set."
By the way, before you buy, you can make a "layout on the walls" - indicating the main tile and contrast in the picture. So you can more accurately calculate the required number of both.
And now look at several examples of laying tiles in the bathroom in the form of strips: above each picture is the description of the effect. Additional options for layout of tiles can be found on our website.
Ceramic tiles has been and remains the best material for bathroom and toilet finishing. It is not only practical, but also beautiful. The choice today is huge: both a variety of sizes, and a variety of colors, and an abundance of decors. I want to take advantage of the opportunity to create something like this in the interior of my bathroom - not like everyone else. Facing walls with tiles of the same color is a boring solution. The combination of colors provides not only the originality of the interior - there is another advantage to this scheme: a competent layout of the tile allows you to make the room more comfortable and even correct its shortcomings.
How to combine two or three tile colors so as to achieve not only a high aesthetics, but also favorable visual effects? First, it is necessary to objectively assess the "possibilities" of the premises: is it high or low, spacious or similar to a narrow corridor? You just have to decide what nuances you would like to correct. In accordance with the goals, the tile layout is selected.
If there are several basic patterns of tile layout in the bathroom and toilet.
Options for laying tiles in the bathroom and toilet
1. By the type of wall panel. This is a classic solution, which is suitable for any bathroom regardless of its size and style. It slightly reduces the room, but adds to it the volume. The scheme is simple: about a third of the height from the floor the wall is lined with darker tiles, and above and to the ceiling - light. The joint can be decorated with a decorative border.
The floors with this layout can coincide with the color of the "panel" or contrast with it - it's a matter of taste.
A bold interpretation is a light bottom and a darker top. This layout of the tile is good for narrow and very high rooms. A light "panel" on the bottom will visually expand the room, and the upper part will dissolve.
If the room is very high, you can lift the "panel", that is, put a contrasting tile area not from the floor, but from half the wall or even higher.
2. Horizontal stripes.
The upper "panel" mentioned above can be attributed to this type of layout. Horizontal stripes are narrow, created from decors, or wide in several tiles.
Strips can be located on the lower third of the wall, in the middle or under the ceiling. Horizontal bands can be several, and in different colors.
By type of panel plus a horizontal strip under the ceiling
This layout of the tile visually expands the room, adding to it the volume and creating a sense of order.
A popular scheme for a bathroom in a modern style:dark floor, light walls and a wide strip in the color of the floor, located somewhere at half the height of the wall or slightly higher / lower.
3. Vertical stripes.
This layout of the tile visually increases the height, adds a bathroom and toilet some monumentality, but makes the room more narrow in appearance. Therefore, for bathrooms similar to the corridor, this scheme is not recommended.
However, if you combine two types of layouts - horizontal and vertical stripes - the narrowing effect can be avoided.
Like horizontal, vertical stripes can be wide and narrow. The length and arrangement of the strips are different:
1. The strip from the floor to the ceiling
2. A strip "hanging" over the floor
3. A strip that breaks off before reaching the ceiling
4. Several bands starting and ending at different heights.
Vertical stripes, especially multi-level ones, are the pattern most often used for bathrooms and toilets in a modern style.
4. Sex with the "curb".
The floor tile comes to the wall. In other words, on the bottom of the wall a strip is laid out, identical to the floor, one or two tiles in height. A simple scheme that makes the room visually a bit wider, but lower.
5. Accent fragments.
This layout of the tiles is very popular today. However, it is not suitable for every bathroom.
The scheme involves the use of a background tile for facing most of the surfaces, while the functional areas are distinguished by contrasting or decorative tiles (panels). This allows you to zonate space and organize it. However, in small rooms such accent fragments can create disproportions.
So, for example, a high band behind a toilet in a narrow toilet can visually further narrow it, making a bathroom similar to a pipe. If you select several areas in the bathroom, you may experience "confusion".
It is not necessary to emphasize the bathroom, even in a very spacious, more than two or three plots. You can, for example, create accent fragments in the area of the washbasin, shower cornerand a heated towel rail.
To the vertical accent piece of the tile does not increase the height of the bathroom, it should not start from the floor. Or, conversely, affect the floor, but do not bring the "focal" element to the ceiling.
The accent fragment is laid out of a tile with a diagonal arrangement: selection not only by color, but also by structure
6. Equal colors.
According to this scheme, two or three primary colors are introduced approximately uniformly, but do not mix with each other. One tile separates one half of the bathroom, the other - the second, etc.
The layout of the tile in this case is carried out taking into account the location of the elements: for example, the half where the bath is installed is faced with tiles of the same color, and the opposite wall and adjacent areas are different. One color can be allocated to the shower zone, the other - my moydodyr, the third - "locker room."
The floors can be faced with tiles of both colors, placing them in a staggered order or docking approximately in the middle.
7. "Patchwork" or "Kaleidoscope".
This pattern involves the combination of tiles in several colors, alternating chaotically or orderly. This solution for creative natures with a strong nervous system, easily perceive "creative disorder." Cheerful situation in the bathroom or toilet will charge them with positive energy and create a cheerful mood
8. "Splashes".
The main part of the wall is lined with a calm, one-tone tile, and several noticeably allocated tiles are introduced, chaotically located on this serene background. Accent tiles really look like splashes or colored drops. This spectacular technique is best used only in spacious rooms. In a small bathroom, walls with "splashes" will create a sense of disorder.
9. "Layering".
We gave such a name to the scheme, implying the use of several of the listed templates in the same room.
Two types of layout are used: by type of panel and three accent pieces
Two types of layout: by type of panel and accentuation of the area behind the washbasin
Laying patterns: an equal combination of the two primary colors, accent fragment and horizontal stripes
For example, in a bathroom the following combined layout can be used: "panel" on the bottom of the wall, a few narrow horizontal stripes, accent fragments behind the washbasin and heated towel rail.
The larger the room, the more templates can be layered on top of each other. And vice versa: in a compact room it is better to stop on one or two schemes, not more than that.
These are just some of the possible layout options. Tile - a material "flexible" in terms of design and allows you to create on the floor and walls all sorts of geometric patterns and patterns: rhombuses, stairs, ziggurats, triangles and much more. Remember that the smaller the room, the easier it should be to lay out the tiles.
Separately it is necessary to tell about a tile with which the so-called "screen" for a bath is revetted . How to include this site in the overall scheme? It is best to coat the frame in accordance with the basic layout pattern. So, if you decide to lay out the "panel" on the bottom of the wall, then the frame, in which the bath is built, can be "sheathed" with this "panel", that is, overlaid with the same tile. If the walls are formed with vertical stripes, the bath frame is faced with a background tile and complemented by a similar strip, which can pass to the floor and the wall. According to the pattern of "equality of colors" the box under the bathroom is tiled with a tile corresponding to this half of the interior. In addition, the frame can be accent, background or merging with the font itself.
Stripes in the interior - this is a universal method of visual change in the space of any room. With their help you can achieve the most incredible effects, let's look at them in order.
When do we need striping or how to use strips in the interior?
- Work with geometry.If you need to expand or narrow, stretch or squeeze the space visually. To striped walls it is easy enough to pick up various accessories, furniture, they will approach many
- Create a background. If you think that the room looks too poor and the interior needs to be detailed, then one of the simplest tricks is the walls with stripes.
- Accent. When there is a need to draw attention to a particular area of the interior or to distract from the other nondescript. The contrasting alternating lines immediately appear in the visual focus.
There are several groups of bands: vertical, horizontal and inclined ("diagonal"). Often, they perform exactly the opposite functions in the design. We will examine each of these groups and illustrate the examples in the photo.
Vertical Strips
Vertical lineshave always been a favorite tool in the hands of architects of majestic buildings. In the interior they convey a sense of strength, make it taller, narrow the room. Provided that the colors and size are correctly matched.
Fashion on the walls with striped wallpaper (or fabrics) first appeared in the late 19th century. Today it is considered a classic technique to decorate the wall with thick vertical lines of monochrome shades. A contrasting bright combinations appeared much later.
Walls with vertical stripes are great for decorating hallways or living rooms. Very harmonious look the walls in the hallway with stripes in the brown-beige range: alternation of light and dark, wide and narrow.
The combination of red, green, lilac and yellow narrow stripes will suit for hallways in the style of country or pop art.
In the living rooms it is best to use more reserved colors. But if you want to revive the monochrome interior, you can create an accent wall from bright lines.
Also juicy bands of saturated colors will look extravagant in monochrome bathrooms. For bathrooms in the classical style it is better to decorate the walls from the stripes of two shades of the same color. Or use soft light shades of blue and vanilla.
In children's rooms, stripes can be bright red, combined with furniture and other attributes. For children, such vivid options do not seem provocative.
Horizontal stripes
Horizontal lines visually expand the area of rooms, but at the same time make it lower. Therefore, use them carefully, so as not to create the illusion of ceiling pressure. The wider the band, the lower the room seems.
However, horizontal lines are not always able to expand the room. If two opposite walls are decorated with stripes of the same size of contrasting colors, then the space will narrow, as in the office corridor with red stripes.
But if there are openings in the walls, then the abundance of bands is not terrible: they are interrupted in place of arches and do not allow the room to become smaller.
The most acceptable option for interiors in which it is important to maintain a calm atmosphere are strips of soft shades and tones. In the area of the cabinet it is appropriate to use neutral shades: beige and white. In the living room look good light gray with white or white and brown tones. Such walls give lightness, make the design unobtrusive.
High ceilings in children can cause a small child to fear. Therefore, an excellent solution - to decorate the top of the wall in different size and color lines. This will reduce the height and give originality to the interior.
A perfect option - partial strips of different sizes on the wall. It is important not to use many shades, so as not to overload the interior. It looks great wall with black and white stripes: narrow and wide. A round mirror refracts the lines, modifying the space.
Inclined and combined strips
Combined strips in the room can create a visual relief. The combination of vertical and horizontal strips in the interior will help to hide various building wall defects, modify the room, create an accent.
The smooth transition of vertical bands from the top of the wall to the ceiling turns them into horizontal and changes the shape of the room.
The combination of yellow monochrome walls with a striped black and white ceiling in the nursery makes the interior of the room bright and original.
Fans of extravagance will appreciate zigzag lines on the walls. However, designers do not recommend taking a great interest in such design in living quarters. This method is more suitable for trendy cafes or clubs. In a room, therefore, it is better to decorate one accent wall, for example, behind a sofa in the living room or the lower part of the wall, combining it with a pattern on the floor.
Methods of decoration using strips
Create a strip in the interior can be a variety of methods:
1. The wallpaper. The most simple and least expensive option is to use striped wallpaper.
2. Painting. Staining walls with strips is not an easy process. First you need to apply a base color, then, using a paint tape, delineate the lines.
3. Textile decoration. Striped can be not only walls or ceilings. If the interior of the room is made in the same scale, striped textile accessories can be selected for it. Looks great white living room with red and white striped curtains and pillows. Companions have been chosen for them: red lampshades, candlesticks and decorative plates.
In the bedroom, where the walls are pasted with wallpaper with floral white and blue ornaments, the canopies over the beds with blue and white stripes fit harmoniously.
4. Large modular paintings, prints and photos. An excellent design idea for youth styles is to use a photo image on the wall in the form of horizontal stripes.
5. Textured finish. The bands can be not only smooth, but have a relief and volume. To do this, use textured plaster, gypsum and other materials. Textured strips with flutes will create the effect of antique style if they decorate columns.
