Watercolour Stripe Wallpaper: Painted Stripes in Mediterranean Colours

Watercolour Stripe Wallpaper

There's something sun-warmed and easy about a painted stripe. This watercolour stripe wallpaper takes the classic vertical stripe and softens it, with slightly irregular edges and a hand-painted quality that gives the colour real warmth rather than a flat, graphic finish.

Each stripe is painted by hand, so the edges shift and bleed the way watercolour does, never rigid or machine-straight. That's what gives this watercolour stripe wallpaper pattern its character on the wall, a bright, Mediterranean quality that feels relaxed rather than loud.

Where this watercolour stripe wallpaper works

The watercolour stripe wallpaper earns its place in rooms you want to feel warm and lived-in. In a living room it holds a feature wall or wraps the whole space with colour and rhythm. In a bedroom the soft, painted edges keep it gentle, and the vertical stripe draws the eye upward, which is handy in lower-ceilinged rooms. It suits hallways too, giving a narrow space direction and a lift of colour.

It leans Mediterranean and coastal most naturally, at home in boho, eclectic and relaxed contemporary schemes where bright colour is welcome. In the pre-pasted or peel and stick finish it suits bathrooms as well, so you can carry the stripe through more of the house. Use it as a full room wrap where you want commitment, or a single feature wall where you want the colour in smaller doses.

Colourways

Choose from four colourways, each with its own feel:

Blue and White

A clean, classic pairing with a relaxed, painted edge. The most searched-for of the four, at home in coastal, Hamptons and fresh contemporary rooms, from a bright bathroom to a calm bedroom.

Yellow and Blue

A cheerful, warm-toned combination with a sunny Mediterranean feel. Suits boho coastal, eclectic and casual contemporary spaces, and lifts a kitchen or hallway.

Green and Yellow

A warm, earthy pairing with a sun-drenched, garden quality. At home in Mediterranean, boho and relaxed eclectic rooms, and works well in a living room or a bright bathroom.

Pink and Green

A soft, warm pairing with a playful, sunlit feel. Suits contemporary romantic and eclectic spaces, and brings warmth to a bedroom or a child's room.

This watercolour stripe wallpaper is available in peel and stick, traditional non-pasted, and pre-pasted. All printed to order on PVC-free paper with GreenGuard-certified inks.

If you'd like the stripe in a different tone to suit your space, every design can be recoloured for free. Send me your paint code and I'll adjust the artwork to match your room before it prints.

Every design at Summer Skye Studio is drawn and developed by me, Sara. Original artwork, and all patterns are copyright Summer Skye Studio.

Wallpaper Types

Peel & Stick

No paste, no fuss. Made from 100% woven polyester fabric at 275gsm (370gsm including the peel-off liner), it has a soft, fabric-like feel and a matte woven texture. Self-adhesive, repositionable for up to 24 hours after hanging, and removes cleanly in one piece.

A good choice for renters, first-timers, and anyone who wants flexibility without sacrificing finish. Works in bathrooms and moderately humid spaces. Not suitable for heavily textured walls.

PVC-free, GreenGuard certified, printed with UV inks.

Traditional (Non-Pasted)

The classic option for a long-lasting, permanent finish. Non-woven fabric at 190gsm with a smooth matte surface. Apply paste to the wall, hang the panel, trim if needed.

A good choice for full room makeovers and anyone wanting a finish that's built to stay. Best on smooth, dry walls. Not recommended for bathrooms or humid spaces. Not suitable for heavily textured walls.

PVC-free, GreenGuard certified, printed with UV inks.

Pre-Pasted

The middle ground between traditional and peel and stick. You get a permanent finish without the paste. The adhesive is already on the paper, activated with a damp roller or sponge.

At 300gsm it has a fine embossed texture and a premium matte feel. Repositionable while the adhesive is still wet, and suitable for bathrooms and moderately humid spaces. Not suitable for heavily textured walls.

PVC-free, GreenGuard certified, printed with UV inks.

Measure your walls carefully

Colours and pattern flow depend on getting this right, so it's worth taking your time.

• Measure height from skirting board to ceiling, or wherever you want the wallpaper to end.
• Measure the width of each wall you plan to cover.
• Use the tallest height measurement across the whole project.
• Include doors, windows, and architectural features so the pattern runs correctly around them.
• Take several measurements along each wall. Ceilings and floors are often uneven.

Read the full guide here.

Order the right amount

• Multiply your wall area by the coverage per roll to estimate how many you need.
• Choose one roll size and stick with it throughout the project for consistent pattern matching.
• Round up and order all rolls at once. Same batch means the closest colour match across panels.
• Not sure? Just message me and I'll help you work it out.

Order a sample first

Screens and room lighting both affect how colours read. A sample is the simplest way to check colour, scale, and finish in your own space before committing.

Colour customisation

If the design is almost right but the colour isn't quite there, just ask. I can adjust the palette to match your paint colour, existing décor, or anything else you're working with.

Pattern scale

I can also adjust the scale of a pattern to suit your space, larger, smaller, or as shown. For more significant design edits, a small design fee may apply, but I'll always be upfront about that before anything is confirmed.

Either way, you'll receive a digital preview to approve before your order is placed. No surprises.

How to request

Use the customisation request form to send me your colour or scale preferences. I'll come back to you with a preview and confirm any costs if relevant. Once you're happy, we'll get your order processed.
