Striped wallpaper has always been in fashion, and in the near future it will definitely remain in trend, because it can attract attention and make an unforgettable impression. The use of different colors of striped wallpaper makes the interior of the room more dynamic; you just need to know which colors are best combined with each other. Striped wallpaper can significantly change the visual perception of a room space by making it significantly higher in height or wider in width. But here it is important not to confuse the wallpaper used, because, for example, a horizontal strip visually reduces the height of the room, but significantly expands its width. On the contrary, a vertical strip visually increases the height of the room. Choosing a striped style in interior design always looks preferable to a plain one, because it is much more interesting, looks much better and rarely gets boring.

What are the advantages of this drawing
The main advantage of striped wallpaper in the interior is its ability to expand and stretch space.
In apartment buildings, low ceilings are a fairly common problem. This is solved using a vertical stripe. Small rooms with a horizontal pattern appear wider.
Stripes can both “calm” and “invigorate” the decoration. If you need rigor, then white-gray options without contrasting transitions will cope with the task. To create fireworks, it is enough to “mix” a palette of three or four colors.
Lines are good in any style, and their direction can be the most unexpected. It is also important that furniture can be easily selected for them.
And if you decide to radically change the “image” of your room, then you won’t be able to come up with anything better. Photos of striped wallpaper clearly show how chic any space looks.
Review of manufacturers

Combination
If there is a motley stripe along the entire perimeter, then a feeling of “overload” may be created. That is why the drawing must be combined. As an option, one wall is plain.
A second example would be peas, which also dilute well. It is important here that the finishing material is the same color.
Classic is a floral pattern, which should also be in the tone of the main wallpaper. An unusual variation of horizontal and vertical will not only remove tension, but will also do an excellent job of expanding the space.
Striped tiles in the interior of kitchen areas

So, the photo below shows the interior of a stylish kitchen area from the creative team of Nest Architects, which decorated the working wall of the room with black and white tiles, from which contrasting classic black and white stripes are laid out.

Each style has its own lines
The following ornaments are designed for a specific style direction:
- for classics, choose non-contrasting stripes of medium width;
- Pop art has a riot of colors, so any width, shades, contrasts are allowed;
- wide stripes without color conflicts are preferable for modernism; they successfully enliven the atmosphere of minimalism;
- in high-tech - black and white wide version, there is no room for compromise;
- white and blue, of course, emphasize the tenderness of the Mediterranean style, but only in combination with plain wallpaper;
- in Provence this pattern is acceptable, but it should be gentle, warm, and romantic.
Stripe size and design
The width and color design of the stripes on the wall play a huge role in the perception of the room. Wide and narrow, laconic and with an interesting ornament, textured or inconspicuous - the final appearance of the decoration depends on the type of pattern, which can be either restrained and solemn, or bold and flashy.
Wide stripe
Wide stripes are one of the most modern and stylish design options. Bright contrasting colors will appeal to young and energetic people. Wide lines are easier to perceive, and their combination with floral prints or monochrome surfaces allows you to create a spectacular interior.
Thick stripes in soothing pastel colors create a soft, calming atmosphere and are ideal for decorating a sleeping area, a spacious living room or a growing child’s room. An elegant combination of beige and warm coffee-brown shades is also appropriate in a study.
Horizontal, wide lines hide more space than more graceful outlines. Therefore, such a print is appropriate only for large rooms. If you want to cover a small room with striped wallpaper, opt for a vertical pattern.
Narrow stripe
Finishing materials with a print of narrow monochromatic stripes help to embody a discreet and calm interior, endowed with an atmosphere of tranquility. Such wallpaper fits perfectly into the classic style of decoration of both a country house and a city apartment. Such an ornament can be “lost” over large areas and from a distance look completely monochromatic. This feature allows you to achieve interesting visual effects without overloading your eyes.
Thin contrasting stripes and lines of bright, flashy shades can ripple, so for a balanced room design it is worth choosing appropriate monochromatic furniture and textile accessories. Against the background of striped walls, soft sets of simple shapes will look most organic. An important condition for maintaining harmony in such a room is the absence of small details and minimalism.
Wallpaper with stripes and flowers
Cute stripes and elegant floral patterns are the hallmark of the Provence style. Delicate pastel shades of blue and pink are perfect both for decorating a bedroom and for developing the design of a living room and corridors in an apartment.
The floral-striped pattern allows you to recreate a relaxed romantic atmosphere. Authentic decor and furniture help to emphasize the overall concept of the interior:
- sets with a patina effect;
- thematic paintings in vintage frames;
- porcelain dishes with floral patterns;
- DIY accessories;
- light curtains made of light airy fabrics.
The combination of colors of wallpaper and upholstered furniture is the key to a harmonious interior. For furniture decor, choose appropriate textiles with a related floral print that will complement the motifs of the drawings on the walls.
Solid stripes
Wallpaper in stripes of the same tone, differing only in the intensity of the shade, is suitable for almost all rooms of the house. With this decoration, the living room, bedroom, and children's room will look restrained and calm, having a calming effect on the homeowners. The optimal color solution for such an interior would be all shades of green, gray, brown and blue. You can combine striped wallpaper with plain ones: to create a harmonious decoration, you should purchase finishing materials from the same collection that will perfectly match in color.
Stripes on wallpaper, made within the same color, are perfect for finishing an “active” wall. Such a surface will stand out in the overall appearance of the interior, but will not attract all the attention, leaving the opportunity to boldly select non-trivial decor.
Striped wallpaper with patterns and ornaments
The original pattern on striped wallpaper is characteristic of the Baroque style. The palace interior is magnificent when implemented in a bedroom, dining room or living room. Graceful monograms, fancy and ornate lines combine effectively with narrow and wide stripes. Against such a background, heavy furniture made of natural wood looks impressive, which can be decorated with textiles with a pattern similar to wallpaper.
Heavy blackout curtains, which are optimal for the bedroom, fit harmoniously into the Baroque style interior.
You can complement the surface of the walls with stripes and elegant patterns using a plain border, the color of which will not conflict with the colors of the wallpaper. As finishing materials, you should opt for non-woven and silk-based fabric wallpaper: these types of finishing will add an aura of respectability and aristocracy to the room.
Textured stripes on wallpaper
The textured surface of the wallpaper allows you to hide minor imperfections in the wall. Textured stripes give it volume and look impressive in modern and minimalist designs. Similar wallpapers on non-woven or vinyl backing are ideal for decorating an accent wall.
It is best to choose such wallpaper in monochrome colors or classic contrasting shades. But the latter type of color scheme is best combined with plain wallpaper from the same collection.
In such an interior, lighting plays a special role. An abundance of spotlights with controlled light intensity will add even more dynamics to the design and emphasize the unusual texture of the surface.

Shiny stripes on wallpaper
Wallpaper with stripes with a metallic effect looks especially solemn in the interior. Small or wide lines should alternate with a background of neutral color. Lighting fixtures and accessories with shiny details help shade the surface.
It is not necessary to choose wallpaper with metallic stripes. There are finishing materials on which shiny elements shine only at a certain angle and emit textures different from metal, for example, velvet.
Light wallpaper with shiny stripes is ideal for small spaces, visually enlarging a limited space. Analogues in dark colors are indispensable when decorating an active wall in the bedroom and for spacious rooms with an abundance of natural light.
Kitchen
White color and pastel palette are ideal for the kitchen. Graphics in these colors will fill the space with cleanliness, warmth, and comfort.
To break up the monotony, you can make one wall an accent wall. It will be something like a panel. The choice of design should be approached thoroughly; it should fit into the overall concept of the style.

How to paint walls with stripes. Step-by-step instruction
- In order to make your walls striped, you will need: masking tape, matte varnish, paint, a small brush, and a roller.
- First, you need to mark with a pencil on the wall where you will have the stripes, then apply masking tape so that the pencil marks are subsequently painted over.
3. After this, apply matte varnish using a narrow bone. This is done to secure the tape. The varnish will also help prevent paint from getting under the tape.
4. Then, between the strips of tape, you can safely apply paint with a roller.
5. Take your time! Remove the tape only after the paint has completely dried to avoid drips.
Hallway
In this room, you must definitely focus on the general style of the house. It is natural to take into account the size of the territory. If the room is small, then it is more practical to use light colors that can visually make it larger.
You can expand narrow spaces by combining vertical striped wallpaper with horizontal stripes. Their width should be as wide as possible in this space.
It is also important that there are no sconces, shelves, or massive paintings on the walls.
In large corridors, wallpaper in dark or bright colors looks great. If the ceilings are high, then you can “lower” them by gluing wallpaper with a horizontal pattern.
But in any case, we must remember that the front room should not clash with the interior of other rooms.
