The commitment of some to indulge in their love of stripes is nothing less than remarkable. Seriously, prepping a room with tape for a regular paint job is a pain. But prepping a room--let alone a ceiling--to paint it in a striped motif, that deserves a round of applause. From vibrant to soothing, there's something for everyone in this roundup.

FromDecor8, these stripes have a soothing effect as well, which is probably why I like them.
