Matching striped coffee mugs to the rest of your china is simple; all you have to do is choose an element in your china pattern that coordinates with the colored stripes on the mug.
Striped coffee mugs are a great way to add some pizzazz to your kitchen for a low cost. They can be exciting and vibrant when you opt for multi-colored or hand painted mugs. For a contemporary, classy home, you can still incorporate striped mugs into your collection but with muted tones. Black and white horizontal stripes are interesting yet sophisticated.
If your china is primarily one solid color, like blue, search for striped mugs with a similar shade somewhere in their design. Matching specific elements of your dishware to the mug allows you to make a creative shopping decision that will still tie into what you already own.
The average volume of a coffee mug is between 8 to 15 oz. Coffee mugs hold more liquid than a typical cup or a more formal teacup. Striped coffee mugs are a flashy addition to your kitchen and come in multiple sizes, sometimes capable of holding 20 to 25 oz. of liquid which is closer to the volume of a standard latte mug.
If you decide to take your morning coffee on the road after a few sips, you’ll notice that you have room to add more liquid when you transfer it from the mug to a travel mug. A standard travel mug or tumbler can hold 15 to 20 oz. of liquid.
Striped coffee mugs are whimsical, fun to look at, and always in style. The simplicity of the pattern means that you can match a striped mug to just about any aesthetic; for example, variegated stripes of different widths and spaces can lean more artistic and modern, whereas thick, stark stripes can lean nautical or traditional.
Opt for different-colored stripes to add to your home’s maximalist vibes, or use a more neutral or pastel palette to help enhance a peaceful, calm atmosphere.
