Vertical Striped Wallpaper A simple stripe is harder to get right than it looks. This vertical striped wallpaper started as exactly that, a clean thin stripe, until a row of small rounded bead shapes along each line gave it the detail it needed. Subtle enough to sit quietly in a room, distinct enough to be worth a second look. Each beaded stripe is drawn by hand, so the line swells and narrows with a gentle, organic rhythm rather than a ruled edge, and the ground carries a soft linen-like texture. That detail is what gives this beaded stripe wallpaper its mid-century character up close. Where this vertical striped wallpaper works Stripes earn their keep in rooms that need direction. The vertical line draws the eye upward, which makes this a strong choice for hallways, landings and any space where you want a sense of height, a small hallway especially. In a bedroom or living room it holds a feature wall without dominating, or wraps the full space as a backdrop with rhythm. The thin striped wallpaper look sits most naturally in mid-century and retro schemes, but the beading keeps it softer than a hard geometric line, so it settles into relaxed contemporary rooms and nurseries just as easily. Use it as a full room wrap where you want commitment, or a single feature wall where you want the vertical striped wallpaper look in a smaller dose. Colourways Choose from five colourways, each with its own feel: Black and White A deep charcoal-black ground with a crisp ivory stripe, contrasty enough to read as true black and white striped wallpaper. The most confidently mid-century of the five, at home in contemporary spaces, moody home offices and rooms with brass or warm metal accents. Sage Green A soft, muted green ground with a pale ivory stripe. At home in Japandi interiors, quiet contemporary rooms and spaces built around natural materials and earthy tones. Blush Pink A light, warm pink ground with a soft ivory line. Suits romantic contemporary bedrooms, nurseries and quiet luxury rooms that want softness kept grown-up. Steel Blue A calm, airy blue-grey ground with an ivory stripe. Works in coastal interiors, Scandi-influenced spaces, Japandi bedrooms and nurseries. Warm Beige A soft neutral ground with an ivory stripe, more texture than colour. Sits quietly in farmhouse, coastal grandma and relaxed contemporary rooms.
