Amy Eld the founder of Rock the Heirloom has written a step by step guide on how to recreate our gorgeous striped rooms: There’s something quite liberating about stripes! You know where you are with them: they’re trustworthy, clean and pleasing to the eye, giving a sense of complexity, order and sophistication. Even in a room full of bold colour, they’ll always stand out. So we thought we’d give them a whirl in our home office. It’s an unusually shaped room, so we had a lot of fun playing around with horizontal, diagonal and vertical lines. We wanted a marriage of orderly, bold, fun and functional, so we kept all stripes the same 5cm width and used a classic two-colour stripe with @edwardbulmerpaint – it was a great holiday project to get the kids involved in. The plant-derived paint contains no nasties, so is safe enough for children to use!

Here are 10 steps to get the look: 1. You’ll need painter’s tape, tape measure, pencil/pen, laser level and paint. 2. Measure out the lines with a laser level to create vertical and horizontal lines. 3. Mark the lines with a pencil, then tape the lines as straight as possible. 4. Repeat the taping and measuring steps across the entire wall. 5. Run your hand across all of the pieces of tape to ensure they’re tightly stuck to the walls, with no bubbles or lifting pieces, to help keep the lines crisp. 6. Paint the entire wall the colour of your choice. We used @edwardbulmerpaint ‘Spanish White’ to ‘seal’ the tape to the wall. Any paint that gets under the tape will be the same colour as the wall. 7. After that coat dries, paint over the stripes with the new colour – we used @edwardbulmerpaint ‘Fine Green’ 8. Remove the tape and touch up any spots as needed. 9. Enjoy! The entire process took two days to complete and we finished it off with a gorgeous vintage rug from @thatrebelhouse to complement the space. Stripes are also the perfect way to use up left over paint and are also inexpensive compared to wallpaper.
