Why is the trend so popular?
It brings clarity and freshness to the room, suits many different styles of living and is easy to implement. In other words, you don’t need to be a professional to create a cool look. With d-c-fix adhesive foils in particular, the trend can also be implemented very cost-effectively. And if you get tired of the stripes at some point, you can simply remove the foil and completely redesign the furniture.
How to implement the stripe trend
- Preparation: clean smooth surfaces – e.g. chest of drawers, cupboard or table top.
- Choosing a design: stripes in uniform or mixed widths – from subtle to bold.
- Applying the film: with d-c-fix film, the strips can be cut precisely to size and applied flexibly.
- Setting accents: either cover the entire piece of furniture or just individual fronts or side surfaces.
Tips for special rooms
- Living room: a sideboard or side table becomes an eye-catcher with stripes.
- Bedroom: narrow filigree lines on bedside tables or closet fronts create an impression of calm and elegance.
- Children’s room: colorful, playful stripes bring fun and a good mood.
- Small rooms: subtle, light-colored stripes visually provide spaciousness without being overloaded.
