Hack IKEA Baskets Into Succulent Shelves

While I’m well aware that not everyone can get on board with the faux plant trend, I can’t help but appreciate the whole “zero maintenance” aspect of the idea. I tend to struggle with keeping live plants, well…alive…so you’ll find silk plants tucked all around our house.

It’s not just because I missed out on the green thumb gene that I’ve gone “faux” with greenery, though. Our pets can’t get enough of nibbling on live trailing leaves, and although I’ve triple checked that the rooted plants we do have are okay for their systems, I still don’t love the idea of them snacking on anything other than their vet-approved kibbles. So, it’s just another big reason for me to succumb to the draw of fake plants.

Striped Home Accents We’re Loving

Striped Home Accents We're Loving

With all the decorative patterns in the world (namely, all over Pinterest—who else gets sucked down that rabbit hole on a weekly basis?!), I sometimes forget that simple ones do exist. I appreciate an intricate repeated Moroccan tile just like pretty much everybody else, but I think I’ll always, always come back to classics, like stripes.

To be honest, though, I was a little worried that I’d be able to find a dozen really unique, modern versions of striped home accents to share with you guys today, but my search led me to all sorts of gorgeous options worthy of consideration. The list below proves that it’s very much possible to update this simple pattern to suit your home in 2019 (and beyond).

Striped Home Accents We’re Loving

1. Grey and Navy Blue Geometric Striped Ceramic Round Vase

2. Brookneal 1000 Thread Count Striped Cotton Blend Sheet Set

3. 2pk Striped Kitchen Towel

4. LR Home Montego Decorative Storage Basket

5. Rachelle White Stripe Bottle Table Lamp

6. Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace Bath Rug

7. Quilted Wall Tapestry

8. Horizontal Solid Stripe Throw Blanket

9. Boyes Armchair

10. Stone & Beam French Laundry Stripe Pillow

11. Cotton Rope Basket with Handle

12. Quilt Texture Stripe

Do you have a favorite from that list? I’m absolutely, positively head-over-heels for that armchair. I can’t personally vouch for its comfort, but I wouldn’t mind testing it out for you (if only I had room for another chair). I’m also of the mind that a person can never have too many striped kitchen towels, so these are also at the top of my wish list.

Share your favorite pick in the comments, and I’d also love to know if there’s a particular simple-yet-classic pattern other than stripes that you come back to over and over again.
