Stripes Wallpaper

Striped wallpaper is available in many styles, from classic pinstripes to bold wide stripes and softer hand-drawn designs. The best style depends on whether you want subtle structure, visual height, a wider-looking room or a strong feature wall.

Popular striped wallpaper styles include:

• Vertical striped wallpaper: Stripes that run from floor to ceiling and can make a room feel taller. Explore our vertical striped wallpaper tips.
• Horizontal striped wallpaper: Stripes that run across the wall and can make a narrow room feel wider.
• Pinstripe wallpaper: Fine, narrow stripes that create a subtle, tailored and elegant look.
• Wide striped wallpaper: Bold stripes that create a graphic statement, especially on feature walls.
• Hand-drawn striped wallpaper: Softer, more organic stripes that feel relaxed and less formal.
• Tonal striped wallpaper: Stripes in similar shades for subtle texture and understated movement.
• Colourful striped wallpaper: Playful stripe designs for nurseries, children’s rooms, playrooms and creative spaces.
• Diagonal or chevron striped wallpaper: A more dynamic stripe style for modern or eclectic interiors.

Popular striped wallpaper colourways include blue, beige, pink, grey, neutral, black and white, green and multicoloured stripes. The best colourway depends on the room, lighting and mood you want to create.

Yes, striped wallpaper is suitable for many room types because stripes are simple, structured and easy to style. The key is to choose the stripe direction, scale and colour to suit the room.

Striped wallpaper works especially well in:

• Living rooms: Stripes add structure and create a timeless backdrop for furniture and artwork.
• Bedrooms: Soft or tonal stripes create a calm, tailored and restful look.
• Hallways and entryways: Vertical or horizontal stripes can help narrow spaces feel more balanced.
• Bathrooms and powder rooms: Stripes can create a fresh, classic or boutique-style effect.
• Nurseries and children’s rooms: Soft stripes feel playful but timeless enough to grow with the child.
• Home offices: Fine stripes add structure without creating visual clutter.
• Dining rooms: Wide or tonal stripes can add elegance and architectural rhythm.

Yes, vertical striped wallpaper can make a room appear taller because the lines draw the eye upwards. This creates the visual impression of added height, especially in rooms with lower ceilings.

Vertical striped wallpaper works well in bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, nurseries and small rooms where you want a more elongated wall effect. Fine vertical stripes create a subtle lift, while wider vertical stripes make a stronger design statement.

To strengthen the effect, pair vertical stripes with light colours, slim furniture, full-height curtains and simple lighting.

Yes, horizontal striped wallpaper can make a room feel wider because the lines guide the eye from side to side. This can help narrow walls, corridors or compact spaces feel more open and balanced.

Horizontal striped wallpaper is especially useful in hallways, small bedrooms, powder rooms, dining areas and feature walls where you want to create a sense of width. Soft or neutral horizontal stripes feel calm, while bold contrasting stripes create stronger visual impact.

Choose light striped wallpaper if you want the room to feel bright, calm and open. Light stripes work especially well in bedrooms, nurseries, hallways, small rooms and spaces with limited natural light.

Choose dark striped wallpaper if you want a bolder, more dramatic or more tailored look. Dark stripes can add depth and structure to dining rooms, powder rooms, home offices, feature walls and rooms with good lighting.

As a simple rule, light striped wallpaper creates softness and openness, while dark striped wallpaper creates contrast, depth and a stronger design statement.

To style striped wallpaper without overwhelming the room, choose a stripe width, direction and colour palette that suits the size of the space. Fine stripes usually feel softer and more subtle, while wide stripes create a bolder, more graphic effect.

Helpful styling tips include:

• Use fine stripes for a subtle look: Thin stripes add structure and movement without feeling too busy, making them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, hallways and small rooms.
• Use wide stripes as a statement: Thick stripes work well on a feature wall or in rooms with simple furniture, good lighting and minimal competing patterns.
• Choose the right direction: Vertical stripes can make walls feel taller, while horizontal stripes can make narrow spaces feel wider.
• Keep colours balanced: Neutral, tonal or low-contrast stripes are easier to use across larger areas than bold high-contrast designs.
• Simplify surrounding décor: Pair striped wallpaper with plain bedding, curtains, rugs or upholstery to avoid visual clutter.
• Add natural textures: Wood, linen, rattan, wool and woven accents help soften the structure of striped wallpaper.
