Striped wallpaper for walls in the interior of different styles

For several years in a row, striped wallpapers remain in fashion in the interior of most styles. Design accents are periodically shifted to one or another classic color, but then again the linear pattern remains in demand. Any interesting solution can leave a lasting impression, even a simple coloring in the form of frequent or rare stripes.

Features of striped interiors

Nothing is simpler than a striped wallpaper pattern, but it is in this simplicity that lies a huge variety of unsurpassed solutions. It is amazing to an ignorant person how, using combined combinations, it is easy to create a memorable and stylish setting using a simple horizontal or vertical, parallel or gracefully curving line.

The variety of drawings on the wallpaper allows you to choose the perfect combination of width and direction of strips for any interior

Designers are increasingly offering wallpaper with diagonal and combined stripes in the interior of the hallway and living room, bedroom and kitchen. It doesn’t matter if wide or narrow fragments of the same color alternate, contrasting or blurry. With such a “ruler” it is easy to transform any space and adjust its visual perception.

The most “boring” or classic interior is easy to diversify, add dynamism and bold accents. To do this, it is enough to decide to experiment with striped wallpaper in a residential interior. This traditional coloring is quite friendly to combination with monophonic surfaces and any recognizable pattern. You can try to connect a cage, polka dots, floral ornament, abstraction or elegant geometry on one wall, connecting with wide horizontal lines, as in the photo.

Why use "banding"? Not just for a change, but purely for practical purposes - a combination of stripes easily transform any space, right up to spectacular illusions of “moving” walls. Visually, you can make a small room with low ceilings a little higher and wider, as if “adding” volume and footage.

A few bright stripes will dilute the monotony of the white walls.

Interestingly, it is not necessary to change the entire interior if it turned out to be plain-looking after repair. It is enough to add dynamism to the striped wallpaper in the living room with the help of strips on one accent wall:

• vertically and horizontally;
• diagonally and multidirectionally.

Horizontal lines move the room wide, so it’s best to use this technique on the end wall. When combining horizontal and vertical stripes, it is possible to create unexpected effects, including moving walls.

When sticking wallpaper in a horizontal strip, the room will visually become wider by at least a couple of squares

Vertical stripes “raise” the low ceiling

Extensive vertical stripes, like columns, “raise” the top, especially when combined with multi-level designs and glossy canvas.But with the usual white ceiling there will be a noticeable effect, as in the photo.

However, do not “dazzle” with contrasts “everywhere and immediately” - the wrong combination can tire you, especially in the nursery.

A skillful combination of a linear pattern with something discreet, floral ornament and weakly expressed spots will activate consciousness, encourage creativity. This is especially valuable in a teenager’s room or in a student’s office.

Wallpaper in the nursery can be in gray-blue, gray-white or gray-pink stripes

Practical in any style you can use striped wallpaper. They are easy to combine with another linear pattern:

• vertically and horizontally;
• variations of shades in one color and contrasting;
• modest and colorful;
• only stripes or with inserts (curving lines, flower, ornament);
• wide and narrow fragments;
• weakly expressed and catchy (like "zebra");
• wide rolls and narrow.

If you are creative in choosing combinations of lines, it’s easy to create a creative design in any living space.

However, it is important to take into account the wishes of all family members - perhaps someone will be categorically against the graphic stripes in their room.

Adherents of a calm interior should choose wallpaper with monochrome stripes without sharp contrasting transitions.

Which strips are best for a living room?

The arrangement of parallel lines can be designed in different ways, but the most popular arrangement of a linear pattern in classical ways:

You can choose diagonal stripes for a separate zone in the room or to create a wall panel from wallpaper

All of these options are applicable in every living room:

• hallway;
• living room;
• the bedroom;
• the kitchen;
• a bathroom;
• hallway or staircase;
• child or teen room.

Smooth, wide stripes of contrasting colors - ideal if you want to draw attention to any wall or interior item

Attention! In recreation on 2 floors in a duplex apartment or a two-story house, the vertical method is undesirable, which visually raises the ceilings even higher. It is better to use horizontal or combined pasting with striped wallpaper.

In a long corridor, avoid wide horizontal stripes on a solid wall that will make it "infinitely long." Such a solution is suitable only for the end wall or design accent walls at the interior doors.

When choosing a linear pattern, decide in advance which is better - narrow lines or wide fragments? The choice depends on the size of the room, its lighting and furniture. Weak styles will not irritate your eyesight, but slightly extend the living room (other space). But the motley-striped version does an excellent job of such tasks:

• disguises curvature and bulge;
• levels the difference in height;
• hide cracks under the wallpaper and many other defects.

A wide striped print highlights the hollows and bulges of the walls, so the surface should be carefully prepared before gluing

The alternation of a wide and narrow linear pattern looks good in beautiful delicate shades. This is a great choice for any living room or bedroom, kitchen, living room or studio apartment, as in the photo of wallpaper with vertical stripes in modern interiors.

Thick strips of calm pastel colors create a soft atmosphere, perfect for a sleeping place.

Important! Psychologists emphasize that non-contrasting narrow lines can activate vitality, therefore, they are recommended for people with chronic overwork and loss of strength. Annoying and depressing people should better abandon the zebra and sharp contrasts.

The choice of colors is individual, but do not forget that in your personal space, nothing should irritate, on the contrary, create a favorable atmosphere. And color variations are an extensive topic that can be discussed endlessly, good taste is needed here.

Classics of the bedroom genre - lilac, blue or beige stripes of various thicknesses

Tip. Keep in mind that a “favorite” color, for example, lilac or turquoise, is perceived differently in a plain and striped design.

The contrasting black and white “zebra” does not go out of fashion, but it is not always appropriate. If we are talking about the correct two-tone design of the living room with a piano and upholstered furniture in leather, then the strip is appropriate on one wall. For example, it can be located behind a sofa or as a background of a musical instrument. Elegant monochrome interior - for lovers of laconicism and minimalism.

The inappropriate “ripple” of contrast bands will tire you if you do not think through everything in detail. It can spoil the impression of the most expensive repairs.
