Let’s Talk Stripes

Stripes have long been a classic design element in homewares, decorating, and interior design. They bring a sense of structure, rhythm, and boldness to any space, making them a go-to for adding personality and style. Whether used in a minimalist setting or as a focal point in a more eclectic room, stripes have the power to transform a space from ordinary to extraordinary.

At Love Frankie, we are all about making bold choices and putting a unique twist on trends, and diagonal stripes are a fantastic way to inject energy, colour, and playfulness into your home. Our Helter Skelter Striped fabric, made of luxurious velvet, offers the perfect canvas to personalise your space. Available in six vibrant colours, this fabric is the perfect way to add a contemporary edge to your interiors while embracing the timeless appeal of stripes.

Diagonal stripes, in particular, offer dynamic movement and visual intrigue compared to traditional vertical or horizontal stripes. Their angled lines guide the eye across a room in a fluid, energetic way, instantly lifting the atmosphere. By using bold, diagonal stripes in bright colours, you create a sense of fun and creativity that feels fresh and modern. It can also play with the scale of the room — if you’re looking to make a small space feel larger, angled stripes can add a sense of expansiveness.

One of the joys of working with diagonal stripes, especially in the vibrant hues we offer in our Helter Skelter collection, is the versatility it provides. You can make it as bold or subtle as you like by choosing to highlight certain colours or balancing them in complementary ways. Whether you’re using it in cushions, lampshades, mugs, or coasters, the key to personalising the trend is about mixing and matching.

• In Cushions: Layer them with solid-coloured throws and textiles to make the stripes pop, or pair them with other patterns (like geometric or floral prints) for an unexpected twist.
• In Lampshades: A diagonal striped lampshade can be the statement piece of the room, casting playful shadows while adding instant personality to your lighting.
• Mugs and Coasters: Use our striped mugs and coasters as part of your tabletop decor, bringing a splash of colour to your kitchen or dining area. They’re functional yet stylish, perfect for a conversation starter.

The Helter Skelter Striped velvet fabric allows you to add a playful touch to your home with ease. The six vibrant colours we offer are perfect for those who want to embrace bold, energetic tones. Whether you’re looking for a modern pop of colour or wish to mix and match with more neutral surroundings, this collection can easily integrate into various design schemes, from contemporary minimalist to maximalist design.

Remember, stripes don’t have to be overwhelming — use them in a way that speaks to your personal style. If you’re into bold, statement-making pieces, consider using our Helter Skelter Striped fabric on larger furniture items or as a standout piece in the room. If you prefer a more subtle touch, small accents like cushions and mugs will allow you to introduce the trend while keeping the overall look chic and balanced.

At Love Frankie, we believe that design should be fun and reflective of your individuality. Our Helter Skelter Striped velvet fabric is the perfect way to add a dose of joy and colour to your home, and with so many ways to incorporate diagonal stripes into your decor, there’s no limit to the creative touches you can add.
