Use stripes as accents

Stripes are going to be bright accents in the room, so you might want to go with broad, eye catching ones. Sure, narrow stripes also have their benefits, yet they usually do not attract as much attention and require additional accessorising. If, however, you choose to go with bold stripes, a single striped unit in the living room  is going to be more than enough.

Colour match the cushions

A sofa hardly ever looks complete without several decorative cushions. A very impressive idea is to match cushion colour to the colour of your sofa stripes. If the sofa has multi coloured stripes pattern — feel free to mix match cushion shades.

Pair with another piece

As it was already mentioned, narrow stripes often require additional accessorising. The easiest approach would be to pair the sofa with another furniture piece in the room. If, for example, you have purple stripes on a beige sofa, you should get another living room piece that will feature a matching shade of purple.

Change direction

Sometimes, even while working with broad and eye catching striped sofas, you will feel the need to add more lines into the interior. Stripes sofas look amazing on parquet floors, and if you want to create a truly memorable decoration picture in the room, you should change palet direction.

Get creative with wall colours

Another idea on how you can stylishly highlight your striped sofas is to match stripes (or dominant upholstery) shade to the wall colour behind the piece. This will draw attention to the sofa and will also contrast your other walls, making the room a bit larger visually.

Accessorise with plants

Striped sofas, due to their old fashioned focus, look amazing with living room plants. A little green shades always make the room cosier, creating a very homey and sweet atmosphere in a living room and placing an accent on traditional decoration elements.

Stick to traditional style

All in all, a striped sofas is living room furniture unit that calls for a traditional look. While searching for matching firm furniture solutions, choose in favour of genuine wood — an undeniable champion when it comes to traditional decoration patterns. If you are looking for something a bit more affordable, you can go with MDF in wood effect. A couple of glass inserts in the room are also appropriate.

Brighten it up

Striped sofas look simply astonishing with a couple of stylish floor lamps next to them. If the room is small, though, a floor lamp may be excessive. Still, you can always brighten the piece up with recessed celling lights.
