"Striped Decor\nWhether thick or thin, horizontal or vertical, stripes are a timeless classic. As our portfolio from the AD archives illustrates, they can also be quite versatile.\nRussian designer Dmitry Velikovsky mixed modern and traditional pieces in this Moscow pied-\u00E0-terre to create what his client described as \"a very simple space with a very complicated inside.\" In the entrance hall, a 17th-century painting by Hendrik Mommers is offset by the blue-and-white striped wallcovering and equally bold lamps.\n\n (August 2006)\nArt Deco styling and a neutral palette distinguish Paris designer Jean-Louis Deniot's scheme for a family home in New Delhi. Horizontal stripes on the striking floor-to-ceiling curtains accentuate the verticality of the double-height living room.\n\n (August 2010)\nFollowing a divorce, film producer Steve Tisch looked to Los Angeles designer Peter Dunham to redecorate his Beverly Hills house, which was built in 1932 by pioneering architect Paul Revere Williams. A striped kilim that was custom made by Jamal's Rug Collection anchors the family room's dining area, which also features a trestle table from Lucca surrounded by Dunham-designed armchairs.\n\n (June 2011)\n\"If English country house is your look, it doesn't matter if you have it in England or in New York or in the tropics,\" said Mario Buatta. Reinforcing that idea, the designer brought a decidedly European sensibility to a residence in the Philippines. The tented dressing room, with its striped walls displaying vintage Vanity Fair portraits, has an intimate, old-world feel.\n\n (August 2006)\nLongtime clients of Michael S. Smith asked him to create an ethereal atmosphere for their sophisticated New York City apartment, which has sweeping views of both Central Park and midtown Manhattan. Seen here is the guest bath, sheathed in exquisite gray Asher marble from Ann Sacks.\n\n (March 2011)\nAt his own 17th-century residence in the Ch\u00E2teau du Marais near Paris, designer Juan Pablo Molyneux transformed what was once a service passage connecting his apartment to the main ch\u00E2teau into a dining area, which he described as \"a good place to dream.\" To conceal an old heating duct, he tented the ceiling, using a pale, striped Scalamandr\u00E9 fabric that continues down the walls. The space also features a series of half-moon windows and three Italian marquetry tables, surrounded by Louis XVI chairs by Georges Jacob.\n\n (September 2006)\nDesigner Roderick N. Shade enlivened his New York City home\u2014previously a neglected railroad-style flat in Harlem\u2014with bold design elements and whimsical details. To him, the most important area was the hallway, which serves as a teaser for the rest of the apartment. \"I wanted it to stand out,\" he said. \"To pop!\" The once dark corridor is illuminated by eight Chinese lanterns and features vibrant vertical stripes, accented by pink pinstripes.\n\n (February 2010)\nFor this palapa-style beach house in Punta Mita, on Mexico's western coast, L.A. designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard fashioned a cheerful, exotic ambience. In the blue-and-white powder room, he juxtaposed a Poillerat-style stool draped in a vintage Moroccan floral fabric with a striped wallpaper by Larsen.\n\n (August 2011)\nLondon designer Nicholas Haslam and his colleague Colette Van den Thillart looked to vintage issues of French Vogue and the work of Elsie de Wolfe for inspiration when they decorated Villa Corinne, a guesthouse in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France. To add punch to this hall that leads to a monochromatic bedroom they covered it in a hand-blocked red-and-white awning-stripe wallpaper. \"The bedroom is white on white, so we wanted to make a statement of color and pattern at the entrance,\" Haslam explained. The openwork light fixture was found in a local antiques shop.\n\n (March 2008)\nFor his Malibu beachfront retreat, designer and antiques dealer Richard Shapiro envisioned a home, he told AD, with \"the look, age, and aura of a very old, windswept structure from the Mediterranean or the Aegean.\" A daybed covered in stylishly mismatched stripes is tucked into a corner of the denlike library; the table is 15th-century Italian, and the painting is by Shapiro.\n\n (April 2011)\nChicago has long been a city of Francophiles, including the owners of this grand apartment along Lake Shore Drive, so it was only fitting they brought in Parisian tastemaker Jean-Louis Deniot to give them a Gallic renovation. He created a dramatic moment in the entry hall using a striped wallpaper by Zoffany, an Herv\u00E9 Van der Straeten sunburst mirror from Ralph Pucci International, and a mirrored Serge Roche\u2013inspired console of his own design.\n\n (December 2011)\nWith the help of an architectural historian, New York designer Thomas Jayne restored a circa-1865 townhouse in Philadelphia to its former glory. Jayne was in charge of decorating the interiors, which included installing a custom-made striped runner on the neoclassical central staircase.\n\n (July 2011)\nAmelia T. Handegan, a South Carolina interior decorator, used an eclectic assortment of Indian textiles and a graphic Persian kilim in this guest room at her bohemian bungalow in Folly Beach, near Charleston.\n\n (July 2011)\nCarleton Varney opted for Hollywood-style glamour when resurrecting a 1970s Palm Springs residence for a client who loves living with color. Paying tribute to his legendary mentor Dorothy Draper, the New York designer transformed the breakfast room into a tented, cabana-like space using bold stripes and Lucite furnishings.\n\n (February 2008)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
