- 1). Display your blue striped quilt in a prominent place. Frame it and hang it on the wall, or, if the quilt is relatively new and in good shape, drape it over your couch for a welcoming, informal look.
- 2). Decide whether you want to use similar or complementary colors in the room with the quilt. You can stick with shades of blue and white -- or another color in your striped quilt -- or go for a dramatic contrast with colors such as red or orange.
- 3). Take a swatch of the quilt's fabric with you to the store when you buy other decorative items such as curtains, or when you choose the color for your couch or carpet. This helps ensure that the colors you choose work well with the colors in your quilt. Choosing a slightly wrong shade can leave your room looking haphazard and careless.
- 4). Decide whether to stick with a striped theme or to go with a contrasting theme. You could, for example, choose to have the quilt be the only striped object in the room and go with circles or flowers in other decorations. Alternatively, leave the rest of the room extremely simple to draw all attention to the quilt. If you choose to use stripes throughout the room, have them all run in one direction to create a more intentional look.
