"Emily says she'd been inspired by a lot of striped furniture lately, and she wanted to give it a try herself. "I went back and forth on color options, then ultimately landed on blue stripes to add color to my mostly neutral space," she says. "I love how it's the first thing you see when you walk into my space," she says. "It's eye-catching and functional.""
"The bench got a bold blue striped look. She picked Behr's Treasure Map and Chilly Blue for her project. She lightly sanded the bench so the paint adhered better, and she used painter's tape to create her stripes."
A wooden bench received a bold blue striped finish to add color to a mostly neutral space. Emily drew inspiration from striped furniture and experimented with color choices before selecting Behr's Treasure Map and Chilly Blue. The bench was lightly sanded to improve paint adhesion. Painter's tape was applied to create crisp, even stripes. The paint application produced an eye-catching focal point positioned at the entry, serving both decorative and practical functions. The blue-striped bench contrasts with surrounding neutrals and reinforces a lively, functional accent piece in the room. Simple preparatory steps and straightforward technique produced professional-looking results.
