can be hard to find...but today I'm finding them. I think it can be fairly easy to go wrong with stripes...either in the pattern scale or simply the application. But, here are some examples of where the stripes are just so right!

I love stripes - and I love the chair in the second picture. A very simple and cheap way of using quite subtle stripes of course is old-fashioned ticking, which can go pretty much anywhere, can't it?

I especially love the black and white bathroom walls - really crisp and clean. And, in photo #1, HOW MUCH do I LOVE those curtains!?!
All great Kate! I especially love how Noel perked up those antique chairs with a bolder than expected stripe :)
Stripes are my very favorite, and these are some well done examples! Thanks!
I'm loving the red and white striped chair. That said, they're all great.
Oh I'm crazy for the bathroom. Isn't it amazing how the width alone can take the look from traditional to contemporary?
These are all great, especially the Jeffrey Bilhuber room, and I'm in total agreement about the curtains!
I know isn't that red and white chair great Sarah! You're so right about the ticking too!

i love the chocolate and cream sofa stripe...it looks amazing!!
Dear Kate , thanks for dropping by today :-)
That first one in cream & chocolate is yum - and unexpected, they've obviously put thought into upholstering that chair :-)
Love this post Kate, all of your photos are great!
What a great post! I love the settee in the first picture.
Kate I love stripes and these are just great!!! Nice finds!
I absolutely love the power the 'right' stripe. Stripes are powerful and can add so much to a room or a piece of furniture. It's so much fun to use chic (or bold) vertical striped in unexpected spaces.
And just look at those antique chairs tricked out!
I love stripes and this was a great post on it ! On walls, on furniture, on chairs...
