Originating from the Spanish word 'cabaña' which simply means hut, cabanas are lightweight temporary structures typically found on the beach. Cabanas can be built from any material, but cabana stripe is named for the canvas huts that were used as dressing rooms and to provide shade at seaside resorts.
Cabanas have changed in style over the years but the cabana stripe pattern remains and continues to find a place in beach, coastal and nautical decor. Color themes are often in primary colors or tropical colors.
