Here was one vintage fool-the-eye trick created with stripes — this one designed to wake up a lackadaisical bedroom.
Vibrantly colored stripes, overlaid with a floral pattern, blanketed this little yellow & blue bedroom — on the walls and over the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Although the fabric and wallpaper matched, the effect wasn’t overwhelming, because the folds of the draperies gave the pattern a completely different look.
The furniture picked up the glowing colors, with white — on the bedside dresser and bed headboard — acting as a mediator, keeping the room from looking overdone.
