The latest interior design trend of mixing bold hues and patterns is still going strong, and stripes are taking centre stage as a striking accent preference. Table settings, tableware, cups, and even striped photo frames can bring a lot of fun into your home décor!
You can combine stripes with block print patterns and solid colours to create a style that reflects your personality – from minimal elegance to Indian opulence or a British countryside charm. At A Raft of Otters’ flagship store in Tanglin Mall, and its new outlet in Joo Chiat, there’s an eclectic range of brands offering everything you need to craft a unique, personalised look that leans into the current “stripe hype”!
The House of Lili
This brand aims to turn everyday items into works of art by blending sustainable bone-inlay creations with historic techniques using vibrant hues and bold patterns like chevrons and stripes. Each piece – whether it’s a furniture item or a décor accent – is designed to integrate seamlessly into a modern tropical home, balancing heritage craftsmanship with contemporary flair.
Layard Interiors
To bring a global touch to your home, browse the collections on offer from Layard Interiors. Their latest additions include handmade candy-striped mugs, jugs, espresso cups, bowls and plates from Portugal, available in a range of fresh pastels and vibrant colours. Pair these with handmade batik striped napkins from Indonesia to infuse your breakfast table with a burst of sunshine.
Additionally, there are new acrylic glasses from Italy that are both UV resistant and dishwasher safe, ensuring you don’t have to compromise on style or safety around kids and pools.
Hankie Pankie Home
Taking inspiration from recent trips to Jaipur, India, Hankie Pankie founder Emma has created a range of hand block printed striped table linen in shades of pinks, greens and yellows. She has also added ruffle and scallop trims to napkin sets to bring even more joy to your tablescape.
The Circus Candle Holders are another instant hit – made of resin and brass and available in a rainbow range of colours, they’re a great option for your own table or as a gift for a friend.
Adding to the party, Hankie Pankie’s hand-painted striped plates from Italy come in a range of colours and sizes allowing you to create a statement table setting or just add some colour to patio or poolside dining at home.
A Raft of Otters is at #03-102 Tanglin Mall, 163 Tanglin Road and 420 Joo Chiat Road, #01-01.
