Do you like stripes?
These days it feels like it's an invasion of all things stripy - from clothes to bed linen, stripes are everywhere!
But are you as enamoured by these vertical and horizontal numbers as everyone else is? Leave us a comment below and let us know if you're Team stripes or not!

Do you like the distressed look?
Comments (38)Im a big fan of old and new. Apart from being an interior photographer im also a joiner. I hate seeing ol timber being burnt or thrown out. Theres more reclaimed timber in my store than new. If i can send a pic of this table made from partly roting oak and pine i will. I made oak legs and frame with pine top still with stains and lightly rubbed out Dinks. So yeah rustic or shabby....im in. Not sure on the rug!!...See MoreDo you like gold?
Comments (30)In the right setting, a one-off feature item in a gold colour, such as a marble fireplace looks stunning! Or for a more subtle look, why not have a bespoke made table top or vanity top in a pale marble with gold coloured veining such as the Calacatta Oro? Let us know what you think!

Comments (26)I love blue, all shades of it, especially when paired with grey. My favourite item in our new house is my blue swivel chair, the perfect spot to curl up with a good book! As we decorate the house room by room, blue and grey are becoming a recurring theme.......See MoreWhat do you think homes of the future will look like?
Comments (5)I suspect one trend will be customisation. And that'll happen on the entire scale between "basic habitation" and "luxury home", as well as between "small piece of furniture" and "complex building structure". It'll be used to drive developers' and builders' costs down but also to enable more design features for specifiers at no extra cost. On-demand fabrication (CNC cutting, 3D printing, offsite prefabrication) is already a common thing for higher-end builds where site access constraints or specification details restrict what's possible to make on site. "Prefab lofts" that are just craned up and put into place are only one such example; 3D printed concrete or bricklaying robots are going to enable on-site fast custom construction as well. The price point for these projects is coming down though, so we'll see more projects like the "wiki house" on entry level as well. And not just for self-builders. The potential impact of this on large-scale housebuilding is tremendous; right now, in the U.K., to meet their price point, Developers build 50 identical shoebox houses, while with cheaper customisation they may built 50 foundation slabs with utility connections preinstalled and let customers choose the "actual house" off plan from modular catalogue design. This will create an interesting challenge for planners ... approve a development where it's not entirely predetermined how the houses will look when built... That - customised one-off manufacturing becoming cheaper - will also move applicability towards smaller items. Ultimately, the "next IKEA" might be a (work)shop where your flatpack furniture is made-while-you-wait; browse the display select the style give them a picture of the room taking your new kitchen for the dimensions, the software will give you a 3D VR experience how it'll look&feel. When you know what you want the CNC machine will make the cabinetry to size, right there. The demand for the interior finishes/furniture side of customised manufacturing is in part also going to be driven by housing policy and the need for affordable accommodation; the London Mayor's "naked homes" initiative is a start here, and if it takes off we will see companies addressing the demand for finishing/furnishing such "built but not finished" apartments....See More

Yes I have to say I do love stripe from ticking to marble and in between... Hate the chandelier, doors and table in the first one but the rest is nicely done.... The others are an array of styles from period which is beautiful to ultra modern.. Floors, ceilings and walls... even furnishings.. Done really stylishly I think it has a very lasting appeal and will not be out any time soon.. Versatile interiors that set the "trend" not follow it.... If the client wants it! . Especially the 2nd, 3rd (cropped as I didn't like the furniture) and 4th :))

8 years agoWe can't get enough of stripes. They're great for making a space modern, but work brilliantly to create a coastal inspired decor. We're fans of big stripes, small stripes, vertical and horizontal. If you don't go to bold and keep it subtle they can really bring a space together.
