The Elegant Revival of Stripes

A bold and elegant reinvention

In 2025, stripes are making a notable return in the world of interior design and not in the way you’d expect. Gone are the classic nautical references or beach hut clichés. Today, stripes assert themselves as architectural, graphic motifs bold yet refined that structure a space while reflecting a strong personality.
At Susty, we celebrate this elegant comeback, especially when stripes meet natural, noble, and upcycled materials, creating interiors that are both stylish and sustainable.

A Fresh Take on a Timeless Motif

1. Bold Stripes: The New Contemporary Classic

These wide, confident stripes evoke both the elegant screens of a Mediterranean villa and the revisited grandeur of a Parisian Haussmann-style apartment. Their visual impact transforms any room while maintaining a sense of sophistication.

Where to use them? Entrances, hallways, or dining rooms spaces where they bring rhythm and character without overwhelming.

Our favourites:
– A striped cotton canvas in off-white & tobacco by Nobilis, ideal for curtains or a statement wall panel.
– A two-tone ecru & charcoal jacquard by Thevenon, perfect for a headboard or sofa.
– A tone-on-tone fine-striped linen sheer by Élitis, softening the light with elegance.

2. Fine Stripes: Quiet Sophistication

More discreet yet just as striking, fine stripes offer refined minimalism. Woven in linen, hemp or wool, they vibrate subtly, adding texture and depth without overloading the space.

Perfect for bedrooms, offices, or reading nooks, they create a calm, elegant, almost meditative atmosphere.

Spotted on Susty:
– A natural & cream striped linen by Maison Lelièvre, perfect for Roman shades or light curtains.
– A fine striped wool by Métaphores, ideal for a plaid or textured seat.
– A soft pale grey cotton by Dedar, great for cushions or a sleek accent chair.

3. Dynamic Stripes: Boldly Controlled

Time to play! Stripes become expressive and playful: they shift in width, embrace unexpected colours, and dare to be asymmetrical. It’s the detail that enlivens an overly neutral interior always with restraint.

We love them in small doses: a living room, kitchen or even a feature wall for a stylish energy boost.

Top picks:
– An asymmetrical navy & ecru striped canvas by Casamance, ideal for graphic cushions.
– An irregular striped linen-cotton blend by Antoine d’Albiousse, for a bench with strong character.
– A textile wallpaper by Designers Guild, making a bold statement in an office or dining space.

Stripes & Sustainability: A Winning Duo

What makes this trend even more desirable ? Its ethical potential. At Susty, we prioritise fabrics from deadstock, upcycled or responsibly sourced materials. Stripes become not only a visual statement but a conscious choice.

They shape the space, create rhythm, play with light and most importantly, they tell a story. A story of craftsmanship, heritage, and respect for materials.

Our Vision at Susty

Each textile we select is unique, chosen to elevate your interiors without compromising your values. In 2025, stripes embody a new approach to interior design: more mindful, more refined, more alive.

So whether you’re into minimalism, urban chic, or expressive boldness, there’s a stripe for you.
And at Susty, we make sure it has style, soul and a story to tell.
