Paint: Benjamin Moore’s Natura semigloss in Eccentric Lime, Lucky Charm Green, Splash, Yosemite Blue, Super White
Formally Tonal
Stripes painted in uniform widths and in tonal colors, such as two shades of blue or a bright yellow and yellowish beige, create a formal look appropriate for a sitting area or period room.
Young and Hip
Wide bands in a handful of sizes create a trendy tone, especially when painted in bright colors set against earth tones. Such patterns work best in a kid’s room or a modern living space.
Playfully Skinny
Thin stripes painted in a variety of sizes and colors inject a fun feel. Create a layered look by painting a thin stripe of one color one stripe after a wide stripe of the same color.
Cool and Casual
To introduce a striped pattern without jolting your eye, choose muted colors from the same palette and leave large strips of the background color exposed in varied widths between each painted stripe.
