Stylish Bed Linen For a Relaxing Bedroom Oasis

To create a space that is soothing, start by looking at your bed linen. The bed is the centre point of any room, and in smaller rooms where decorating may be limited, it provides the base for the decorative scheme in the bedroom. Bed linen refers to all the linen that makes up your sleeping arrangement, including bed sheets, pillowcases and of course your quilt cover. The colours and patterns of our quilt covers play a pivotal role in establishing your bedroom aesthetic. Choosing a quilt cover with calming designs will help you create a space that is rejuvenating and soothing.

Striped patterns exude an effortless elegance that offers a soothing aesthetic. For instance, the KOO Belize Yarn Dyed Stripe Quilt Cover Set boasts a tranquil sage green and cream tailored stripe design. The muted green has a calm, nature-inspired feel, which is perfect for a relaxed home aesthetic. Available in queen and king sizes, this cotton quilt cover is ideal for transforming your bedroom into a restful oasis.

When it comes to styling striped quilt covers in your bedroom, consider layering with solid cushions and sheets. This offers a balance between the bold lines of the stripes with a solid colour tone. Mix scales, but stick to a common colour palette. If styling a striped quilt cover like the KOO Cancun Yarn Dyed Stripe Quilt Cover Set with a showcase of clay, muted blush and sandy beige tones, consider complementing the pattern with a neutral-toned throw draped at the end of your bed.

Calming Contemporary Stripes For Your Living Room

Stripes are effortlessly contemporary in their aesthetics due to their sharp lines and shapes. Infuse your living room with this contemporary elegance by incorporating the elegance of a stripe cushion or two in your space. Refreshing your selection of cushions or simply adding a new design to your cushion arrangement is a convenient approach to revitalising your decorative theme in your space. Cushions offer both practicality and aesthetic benefits, providing a comforting place of support for your back or head after a busy day, all while adorning your couch or armchair with a stunning decorative piece.

Enjoy a selection of different designs and colour tones to find the perfect stripe cushion for your living room. From the contemporary pattern of stripes in alternating thicknesses presented by the KOO Nelson Cushion to a more minimalist flair with the woven striped pattern of the KOO Kerrie Woven Jute Cushion Cover that brings a textural charm to your space, you can enjoy a variety of striped excellence here at KOO.

At KOO, discover a collection of stripe cushion covers you can use to breathe new life into your current cushions. Cushion covers offer a cost-effective approach to revamping your decorative style. You can also update your outdoor area with a striped charm with one of our outdoor cushion covers, such as the KOO Byron Outdoor Cushion Cover, to bring the striped elegance of your interior decor and create a cohesiveness all the way through to your outdoor entertaining area.

Versatile Decorative Details For Your Living Room and Bedroom

Create a cohesive flow through your striped aesthetic with a range of patterned accents. Whether that be in your living room or bedroom, these accents can tie your decorative theme together, all while adding visual intrigue to your space. Start with a striped rug in the centre of the room. Striped rugs anchor a space and can make small rooms feel bigger, while also acting as a work of art, as seen with the eye-catching pattern of the KOO Shuttle Cotton Rug. Featuring a captivating and abstract striped design, the neutral colour tone of this rug effortlessly complements various colour palettes. Rugs are designed to showcase a fusion between artistic charm and comfort, bringing an additional layer of warmth that helps insulate your space.

To boost the cosy aesthetic your rug provides, think about positioning a few floor cushions around it. Great for creating a casual seating option, candy-striped floor cushions such as the KOO Hamptons Floor Cushion will pair perfectly with a neutral-toned rug, adding an artistic detail that aids you in creating a relaxing sanctuary in your living room or bedroom.

Much like rugs, cushions also showcase this beneficial fusion between aesthetics and practicality. The best thing about cushions is their diversity in shapes and patterns. Apart from the traditional square shape of standard cushions, you can also incorporate shorter cushions like the KOO Amira Woven Cushion to create a layered cushion arrangement that exudes depth and a cosy ambience. Featuring tassels and a geometric-inspired striped pattern, this cushion pairs perfectly with other striped cushions in neutral tones, but when paired with neutral solid-toned cushions, the design becomes a stunning work of art on your sofa or bed.

Decorate Your Dining Room and Dine in Style With a Coastal Aesthetic

When it comes to decorating your home, your dining room is just as important as your living room and bedroom. Many special occasions are celebrated by sharing a meal with your friends and family, so it's no surprise that a well-decorated dining room further contributes to establishing a refreshing decor style throughout your home.

No aesthetic is quite as refreshing as a coastal decorative style. Perfect for a casual, relaxed feel, creating a coastal aesthetic is made easy with striped table linen and napery. Great for indoor/outdoor entertaining, blue-toned stripes are effortlessly refreshing in their ambience, perfect for cementing a coastal theme in your dining room. Start with a subtle striped tablecloth, such as the KOO Portsea Tablecloth with its striped border design and fringe detailing. Providing protection for your dining table, this tablecloth acts as the perfect foundation for your table setting.

For the base of your table centrepiece, consider incorporating an elegant table runner down the centre of your table. The KOO Hamptons Stripe Table Runner is a great option. The nautical look of the alternating wide and narrow stripes in shades of deep navy and soft grey creates a washed, denim-inspired effect, giving a relaxed coastal feel. Style this coastal selection of table linen with plain placemats, dinnerware and glassware to let the pattern shine.
