Long associated with classic interiors, striped wallpaper is now making a comeback in much more modern and creative versions. More graphic, bolder and above all more versatile, it is a real decorative element capable of transforming a room in an instant.
At Wellpapers, we love stripes for their ability to structure a space while remaining stylish. Vertical, undulating, thick, thin or irregular, they immediately bring rhythm, relief and character to the walls.
Why are stripes coming back in decoration?
Current decorating trends are leaving more and more room for graphic patterns. After several years dominated by very minimalist walls, interiors are now regaining more personality and expression.
Striped wallpaper perfectly meets this desire. It dresses a wall without overloading the room and makes it easy to play with volumes. Stripes can visually enlarge a space, give an impression of height or create more depth depending on their orientation.
It’s also a timeless pattern that crosses trends without ever really disappearing.
What effect do stripes have in a room?
The great advantage of striped wallpaper is its ability to visually change the perception of a space.
The vertical stripes naturally draw the eye upwards. This gives the impression of height and is ideal in a room with a low ceiling or a more compact space.
Horizontal stripes, on the other hand, allow you to visually widen a wall and open up the room more. They work especially well in a hallway, entryway, or small living room.
More fluid or irregular stripes bring more movement and a more contemporary look. They break the strict side of the classic pattern and create a more lively decoration.
Striped wallpaper can also become a great way to structure an interior. On a single wall, it can be used to delimit an office space, highlight a headboard or create a focal point in a living room.
What colors to choose for a striped wallpaper?
The choice of colours plays an essential role in the final atmosphere.
Beige, cream, terracotta or caramel stripes will bring a warm and enveloping atmosphere. These are perfect shades for a living room or bedroom.
More pronounced contrasts such as black and white will immediately give a more graphic and contemporary look.
Softer shades such as sage green, light brown or sand shades allow you to maintain the elegance of the pattern while keeping a more soothing decoration.
Today, stripes are no longer necessarily strict or monochrome. The more organic colour combinations and less perfect lines make the pattern much more modern and easy to integrate into an interior.
How to integrate a striped wallpaper into your decoration?
Striped wallpaper works particularly well with natural materials such as wood, linen, velvet or ceramic.
To keep an interior balanced, we generally recommend combining stripes with simpler furniture to let the pattern breathe. In a minimalist room, they allow you to add depth and personality without overloading the decoration.
In a living room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen or even an office, stripes immediately bring a sense of rhythm and structure.
