Striped Wallpapers & Wall Coverings

Stripes may seem the simplest of patterns, but what they accomplish is anything but simple. Unlike the rest of the players in the pattern game, stripes don’t just lend visual depth and interest; they bring a sense of order, proportion and polish through rhythm and precision. By guiding the eye in a direction, stripes can reshape a room, elongating walls, lifting ceilings, and widening compact rooms. Few patterns can claim such a broad resume.

It is this extensive design potential that our striped wallpapers embody. Once on the wall, stripes are no longer just decor; they become architectural, lending the room a sense of structure, clarity and definition. As a result, our striped wallpapers slip seamlessly with varied aesthetics, feeling just as at home in formal living rooms as in playful kids’ spaces, and in heritage houses as in modern streamlined interiors. 

If you’re drawn to this unrivalled versatility and timeless charm, come, explore our collection of striped wallpapers. Whether you’re aiming to stretch your snug London flat, add rhythm to a Victorian hallway, or introduce a tailored finish to a cottage bedroom, today you’ll find the right striped wallpaper that does it all.

Striped Wallpapers: From History’s Alleys to The White Window’s Aisles

From the sailor-striped coastal cottages of the 1800s and the bold black banded backdrops of 1920s’ Art Deco living rooms to the fluted panel-clad modern minimalist homes, stripes have long wrapped walls with their simple elegance. Spanning centuries and embracing diverse design movements, striped wall dressings have evolved into the versatile design devices we know today. 

Ceremonious in maximalist period homes, chic in modern streamlined homes, and soft and relaxed in country cottages—stripes are truly the chameleons of the design world, strutting with the same confidence and adapting to the design language, no matter the setting. The White Window’s collection of striped wallpapers is both an ode to their golden legacy and a fresh invitation to extend their steady march to well-appointed contemporary homes. Let’s introduce you to the various personalities in our collection and the many design possibilities they bring along:

Tailored Ticking Stripes for Buttoned-Up Spaces

Borrowed from heritage fabrics, ticking stripes offer subtle structure and ageless elegance. They are evocative of classic themes; yet simultaneously, feel fresh and modern, especially in their on-trend palettes.

When dressed in low-contrast color schemes like beige and white, as in Kilifi, they make calm, grounding backdrops that support the rest of the room. Their understated refinement makes them ideal for quiet bedrooms, office spaces and studies, where restraint is part of the charm. 

But when the agenda is to inject the space with energy and intricacy, look for vibrant palettes like red or aqua, as in Tuscan Rabbit. As for a navy and white rendition like Lagune, it’s the go-to for your nautical-themed kids’ bedrooms.

Bold Wide Stripes for Focal Points

Far from shy or quiet, wide stripes are designed to be seen. No matter the colors they wear, whether a soft pink like Pushkar or a muted brown like Frappe, they always seem to carry themselves with panache. A wall covered with wide stripes is a default focal point. Here, it is not the palette, but the scale that commands attention. 

And if you’re looking for something dramatic that gives a caffeine rush, think of a piece like Sugar Cookies. Its alternating black and white awning stripes recreate the Art Deco magic, turning the most ordinary wall into an eye magnet with its stark contrast. Where the goal is to bring a touch of theatrics, bold-toned, wide-striped wallpaper is the surefire way to achieve it. 

Neutral Slim Stripes for Minimalist Homes

Fine-lined and quietly elegant, slim stripes in muted palettes bring depth and interest with subtlety. They keep the interiors understated, yet save them from looking unadorned. Like Dense Fog, which feels just a touch more elevating than a texture-painted wall, but effortlessly registers its designer appeal.

The overall look remains uncluttered and composed, even as the wallpaper brings in a level of detail to the interiors. The slender stripes, wrapping the entire backdrop, reinforce the clean-lined, matter-of-fact spirit of modern minimalism.

Playful Chevron Stripes for Nurseries and Kids’ Rooms

With their lively zigzag rhythm, chevron stripes are perfect to bring movement and cheer to children’s spaces. Energetic, without feeling chaotic, they strike an easy balance between juvenile liveliness and disciplined structure. And, when they embrace pastel tones, as in Pesca, they become the perfect backdrops for nurseries, playrooms, and kids’ bedrooms. They inspire joy, creativity and playfulness, resonating effortlessly with children’s carefree nature.

Decorative Floral Stripes for Embellished Interiors

Stripes are not always austere or straightforward; sometimes, they mingle with other motifs to incorporate softness, romance or ethnic sensibilities. Like Rain Avenue, which tucks in Aztec-inspired embellishments between the stripes, making them natural fits for bohemian interiors, eclectic homes and gender-neutral nurseries. Or Mirror Mirror, whose lacy florals entwined with broad pink stripes look ideal for feminine spaces, kids’ rooms and girls' bedrooms.
