Stars and Stripes

There is something to be said for style that’s inspired by Americana—it’s the kind of design that evokes memories of summer, parades and everything fun. Nothing says Americana like stars and stripes, and they can be the perfect inspiration for you little one’s room decor.

Stars and stripes come in all sizes and colors. Whether they’re vertical or horizontal, red, white and blue or soft and neutral, they remain a classic.

Boldly go where stripes go—in this case, it’s around the room. Mix up the colors to add linear drama.

The great thing about stars and stripes is that they alway work. They are classic design shapes that people identify with, no matter how you use them. They are a reminder of youth, purity and of course, the good ol’ days of summer and fun.
