Wide bands alternate in chromatic rhythm, stripe vocabulary expanded to bold proportions. Sorbet employs substantial stripe width—bands measured in inches rather than millimetres—creating pattern that announces rather than whispers its presence.
The design constructs simple alternation: wide coloured bands separated by contrasting bands of equal or complementary width. The name suggests palette possibility: sherbet colours in pastel intensity, perhaps pink and cream, mint and white, peach and pale yellow—frozen dessert hues translated into decoration. Alternatively, bolder colourways might employ saturated primaries or sophisticated neutrals. The width distinguishes this from pinstripes or traditional moderate-scale stripes; these bands command attention through sheer scale, creating architectural impact through colour blocking. Vertical orientation provides expected stripe direction, elongating perceived wall height whilst bold width prevents the dizzying effect narrow stripes can produce.
Printed in Cornwall with precise colour boundaries maintaining the clean edges essential to bold stripe patterns, colour saturation consistent across substantial band width.
Sorbet suits spaces comfortable with unapologetic pattern presence. Children's rooms, playrooms, powder rooms, feature walls in living areas or bedrooms where bold stripes create deliberate focal drama. The wide bands work in contemporary interiors appreciating graphic simplicity, retro-influenced spaces recalling 1960s-70s bold stripe popularity, or eclectic schemes comfortable with strong pattern. Consider feature wall application in modest rooms; larger spaces accommodate full coverage if colour intensity remains controlled. Pairs with minimal furnishings allowing stripe pattern primary visual authority, or layers within maximalist schemes comfortable with pattern competition.
