Stripes are one classic pattern that will never go out of style. Whether they’re horizontal, vertical, diagonal, straight, crooked or irregular, we’re loving everything about colorful, contrasting lines — especially on the home front. Adding stripes to your space can be just as simple as throwing on a striped top with some jeans. From DIY dish towels to stripey rugs, these 24 products will completely stripe up your life. And yes, that’s a Spice Girls reference.
