Stripes are a timeless element of design, offering a stylish simplicity that can transform any room. Whether you're aiming for a subtle look or want to make a bold statement, the versatility of stripes allows for each and everything in between. Let's look at the art of working with stripes, using different techniques to incorporate this dynamic pattern into your design projects.

Our Nina Campbell Rivage range is perfect for creating simple striped patterns. The tiles come in seven colours and have a glazed finish that gives them the look of a traditional handcrafted tile. They also offer a simplicity that makes them perfect for creating stylish stripes. Choose two (or more) contrasting colours to offer real depth and visual interest.

Stripes don't have to be purely visual - they can be tactile too. Our Ixworth tiles perfectly introduce texture into the equation, adding a layer of depth and interest to a classic pattern. They're perfect for areas where you want to add warmth and dimension, such as splashbacks or feature walls.

Using brightly coloured plain tiles allows you to create stripes that are vibrant and full of life. Mix and match colours to create a playful, dynamic look or choose shades that are closer in hue for a more subtle effect. This method is perfect for adding a splash of colour to kitchens, bathrooms or even outdoor spaces. These tiles from our Bert & May plain collection create a real focal point in the room, seamlessly extending the pattern from wall to floor.

If you’re looking to make a strong style statement and love the look of Italian marble, it is well worth taking a look at these large-format porcelain tiles designed to mimic marble. Their size and scale, along with their rich colours, help create impactful, bold stripes that can elevate a space. The key here is contrast – think dark and light. Ideal for bathrooms or kitchens, this technique adds a modern twist to the timeless appeal of stripes.
