Stripes Are Back: How to Use Striped Wallpaper for a Fresh Modern Look

Stripes are one of those classic design elements that never really go out of style — they just evolve. Whether you love clean and crisp lines or soft painterly bands of colour, striped wallpaper brings a sense of structure, energy, and sophistication to any space. And right now, stripes are having a serious moment in interiors.

From bold statement walls to subtle pinstripes that add quiet texture, there’s a striped design for every home. You can browse our full collection here: Stripe Wallpaper Collection.


Why Stripes Work So Well

Stripes are incredibly versatile. They can make a room feel taller, wider, or simply more dynamic — all depending on how you use them.

  • Vertical stripes draw the eye upward, adding height and elegance. Perfect for rooms with lower ceilings.

  • Horizontal stripes make a space feel broader and more relaxed — ideal for hallways, bedrooms, and open-plan living spaces.

  • Fine stripes bring subtle texture and calm, while wide bands make a confident, modern statement.


Go Modern with Soft Neutrals

For a fresh, modern feel, try neutral striped wallpapers in shades of taupe, stone, or cream. They pair beautifully with minimalist furniture and natural textures like oak, linen, and jute.

One of our customer favourites is the Panacea Wood Walnut Wallpaper — it’s soft, elegant, and adds gentle movement to your walls without overpowering the room. Perfect for Scandinavian or contemporary schemes.

Make a Statement with Bold Stripes

If you’re after drama, go bold. Deep navy, emerald, or monochrome stripes can create a striking focal point behind a bed, sofa, or dining table. Try something like the Juliette Stripe Blue Wallpaper for a luxe, tailored look — it pairs beautifully with metallic accents and plush upholstery.

Play with Pattern and Texture

Stripes don’t always have to be simple. Textured or embossed striped wallpapers add dimension and warmth — ideal if you want visual interest but not too much colour.
For example, Larson Stripe Charcoal and Gold Wallpaper adds a shimmering touch that catches the light beautifully. It’s a great choice for living rooms or hallways that deserve a bit of glam.

Stripes That Work Everywhere

One of the best things about striped wallpaper is that it fits just about anywhere.

  • Use soft neutral stripes in a bedroom for calm, hotel-inspired comfort.

  • Go nautical with blue and white stripes in a bathroom or coastal kitchen.

  • Try bold monochrome in a hallway or stairwell for instant impact.

Styling Tips

  • Mix stripes with plain paint shades — try matching tones from our paint collection for a cohesive finish.

  • Pair with textured cushions or throws to soften the look (our luxury cushion range is perfect for this).

  • Keep your furniture and flooring simple to let the walls shine.
