Using Lines and Stripes in Decoration

Striped Patterns and Perceptual Effect

Line patterns are a powerful design tool that directly affects the dimensional perception of a space.

Vertical Lines: Increase the ceiling height. Ideal for narrow, low-ceilinged rooms.

Horizontal Lines: Widen the space but bring the ceiling closer. Can be used in long, narrow corridors.

Thickness and Colour: Thin lines give a delicate, refined feel, while thick lines create a bold, strong effect. Single-colour (tonal) stripes offer a plainer look.
