Everything is better with a stripe
For centuries, stripes have been a defining statement in design - their history echoing Britain’s own; full of collective narratives and small acts of redemption.
Once used to mark out the convict, the pariah, or the unwell, the humble stripe journeyed on to become a symbol of international trade, far-flung travel, and, eventually, prosperity.
By the 21st century, stripes had become the go-to print for the home, effortlessly bringing together the disparate and the unconnected. A contemporary classic, they help us unite Grandma’s hand-me-down sofa with our favourite paint colour and the table lamp we’ve carried through three moves.
Our Stripes are endlessly useful — whether rescuing a scheme that feels a little disjointed or creating a bespoke colour combination that pulls everything together. And ours do even more: a portion of every purchase goes to charities working to support people of all stripes.
Inspired By British Landscapes, Drawn for the Every Day Home
Our colour edits take their cues from the British landscape from the soft mauves of the Highlands heather, to the the inky blues of a storm-leaning coastline, or the warm russets of Devon clay. Each palette is tuned to sit beautifully alongside the nation’s favourite paint colours, making it effortless to create harmony in your home.
Our stripe scales are purposefully broad. For the bold, there are awning stripes – The Henry - that bring instant character and confidence. For rooms that need a gentle unifying touch, our Regency style stripes – The George - gather together mismatched pieces and make them feel intentional. And for lovers of quiet detail, our classic style ticking stripes – The Mary - adds a whisper of nostalgic calm — the kind that never asks for
attention yet always earns it.
Every stripe is drawn for real homes, real stories, and the small
joys and chaos of everyday living.
Our Way Or Your Way: A Stripe That’s Always Fit For The Job
Sometimes a room needs a stripe that plays by the rules - and sometimes it needs one that bends them. That’s why we offer a bespoke colouring service on our leading designs. Choose one of our signature stripes, and for a fixed fee our designers will recolour it to suit your scheme perfectly, and send you a useful large scale sample straight to your door!
Perhaps your landlord has painted the walls in a shade that fights with your beloved sofa. Our George stripe can step in, mediating between the two and lifting the whole space into something that looks intentionally curated. Or maybe you’ve joyfully painted the kitchen a brilliant shade of pink on a whim at 11pm and now need a way to stop Mrs Jones at No. 4 from peering in - without sacrificing your bold interior triumph. There’s a stripe for that, too.
Simply fill out our form, tell us your vision (or your calamity), and we’ll recolour a stripe bespoke to you - bespoke to your home - ready to bring harmony, wit, and a dash of design confidence to any corner.
Because in Britain we Keep Calm and Stripe On!
A Pattern With History, Leaving a Legacy of Good.
Our stripes represent centuries of tradition and carry within them a quiet story of social redemption. Once the mark of the outsider, the imprisoned, or the overlooked, the stripe has long since stepped into its new role as a contemporary classic. First in fashion, now proudly in our homes. And, like all good British stories, we believe in using this history however complicated for good.
A portion of all our profits is donated to charities dedicated to restoring dignity, stability, and opportunity to those whose quality of life is in need of its own redemption. These organisations work every day to support people of all stripes across the UK.
So whether you’re choosing one of our cloths, commissioning a bespoke colour edit, or ordering a made-to-measure piece through our partner 24/7 home furnishings, you’re helping to leave a legacy of hope woven into every pattern - a small but meaningful good stitched into the fabric of ordinary life.
