A warm stripe is much easier to decorate around than you might think.
A pink and rhubarb striped sofa sounds, at first, like quite a strong choice.
But the lovely thing about the Pembroke Stripe by Piglet in Bed is that the colours are bold without being shouty…. The rose is soft and warm and The rhubarb has depth. Together, they give you colour, yes, but in a very usable sort of way.
So what works with it?
Warm neutrals are the easiest place to start: natural linen, flax, cream, oatmeal, soft plaster and warm white. These let the stripe do its thing without making the room feel busy.
Natural materials work beautifully too. Think oak, walnut, rattan, sisal, wool, old leather, brass, terracotta and lovely old wooden floors. The stripe has a sun-faded, deckchair-ish quality, so it sits very happily with things that feel worn-in rather than shiny and new.
For contrast, soft greens are particularly good: olive, sage, moss and muted garden greens. They take the sweetness out of the pink and make the whole room feel calmer and more grown-up.
Blue can work too, especially washed denim, faded navy or a soft grey-blue – something with a bit of age. Nothing too icy.
Pattern is allowed, incidentally. A striped sofa does not mean everything else has to be plain and terrified. A faded floral, a simple check, a patterned rug or a small-scale lampshade can all work, provided the colours are friendly to each other.
As ever, the trick is not to match everything. Just let the stripe set the mood, then bring in colours and materials that feel as though they belong in the same room.
The Pembroke Stripe is pink and rhubarb, yes. But it is not sugary or silly: it has warmth and softness, plus a little seaside nostalgia.
Which means it can sit very happily with all sorts of things: linen, timber, books, old pictures, dogs, children, cups of tea… Very schplendid, really.
