Striped Wallpaper

In between there's Japandi-inspired stripes and mid-century bubble stripes. Vertical stripes draw the eye upward, horizontal stripes make narrow rooms feel wider. Stripes do quiet structural work that most patterns don't, which is exactly why they never really go out of style.

Where striped wallpaper works

Striped wallpaper works across the whole house. Ticking stripes and soft tonal designs suit bedrooms and living rooms. Bold wide stripes earn their place on a hallway feature wall or behind a bed. Narrow stripes are a reliable choice for a downstairs loo or home office, where you want quiet structure without a busy pattern. And if you've been considering dado panelling, a vertical stripe wallpaper above the rail is one of the most classic combinations going.

Most designs work as a full room wrap or a single feature wall, though a bold wide stripe on one wall tends to make its point without needing the whole room.

Colours, from soft to striking

The palette runs right across the range. Soft sage, grey and neutral tickings for something calm and tonal. Blue and navy for a coastal or Hamptons feel. Mustard and ochre for warmth, burgundy and terracotta for something richer, pink for a softer touch. Because a stripe wallpaper pattern is such a simple structure, colour does most of the talking, so it's worth getting the shade right. If a design is right but the colour isn't, just ask. Colour customisation is free, so you can match a striped wallpaer to your paint or your scheme before anything is printed.

Made to order

Each design is printed to order on quality wallpaper using eco-friendly materials, available in peel and stick, traditional non-pasted, and pre-pasted. All designs at Summer Skye Studio are hand-drawn and original to the studio, so they're not ones you'll see everywhere.

Not sure which width or colourway suits your space? Order a sample. Scale makes a real difference with stripes, and seeing one on your own wall tells you more than a screen can.
