Paint the bedroom walls with a neutral or solid color, such as white, cream or yellow, to set the stage for striped decor; plain walls won't compete with striped decorative items.

Choose plain wood furniture, such as a bamboo or oak bed headboard, dresser, nightstand and work desk set. Pick white or brown wicker items instead to create a casual, beach house-inspired vibe.

Decorate the bed with a striped comforter to create a room focal point. Choose a bedspread featuring stripes in colors that coordinate with the overall look of the room, such as light blue, sandy brown and white for a beach-themed space. Enhance the comforter with floral- or seashell-printed decorative pillows featuring shades similar to those found in the comforter.

Enhance wood or tile floors with a striped area rug; stripes will make a small floor space seem wider. Pick a rug featuring the same color stripes that are in the comforter for a cohesive look.

5
Display decorative items featuring colors found in the striped textiles. Accent a nightstand or dresser with a blue vase filled with fresh white flowers. Enhance the room with colorful candles, which will add a decorative touch even when they are not lit.
