Vertical stripes makes things look taller and elongated, gives the impression of reaching out to the sky, upward direction, and tend to have a regal and elegant feel. Use vertical stripes when you want to make low ceiling spaces look higher or when you dress use clothes that give you a vertical quality to look taller.

Horizontal lines open up spaces, remind us of the horizon, give width to objects and give a sense of ease and relaxation. Use horizontal lines or objects in small spaces to make them look bigger and wear horizontal stripes to look wider {or avoid them!}.

Diagonal, oblique or multi-directional lines are dynamic, have a sense of instability, and promote movement. Use these types of lines to break the monotony of a room with chevron floors, add excitement to a room with a modern painting, or impress someone with a patterned outfit.

Have a creative day!
