Stripe Wallpaper

Stripe Wallpaper

Stripe wallpaper is among the most architecturally versatile and time-tested wallcovering traditions — vertical stripes elongate and dignify rooms, wide stripes make bold graphic statements, narrow pinstripes create refined formality, and irregular or watercolour stripes add painterly softness to contemporary spaces. At The WorkRoom, our stripe wallpaper collection spans classic and contemporary stripe designs across every width and colour palette from leading brands including Schumacher, York, Osborne & Little, and more.

What Stripe Wallpaper Does for a Room

Vertical stripe wallpaper is the single most effective design tool for visually raising a room's perceived ceiling height — the eye follows the vertical rhythm upward, creating a sense of greater height than the actual ceiling permits. This makes stripe wallpaper particularly valuable in rooms with standard 8–9 foot ceilings that benefit from visual elevation. Wide, bold stripes in contrasting colours create graphic, confident rooms with a clearly stated design position. Narrow tonal stripes — two close values of the same colour — create the most sophisticated and architecturally refined stripe effect: visible texture and pattern at close range, reading as a near-solid from across the room.
