Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Slate

Our Ticking Awning Stripes wallpaper, designed by RNM Arts, brings a classic textile-inspired rhythm to the wall with broad vertical bands set against a warm cream ground. Detailed with fine stitched lines, delicate dash motifs, and a subtle speckled visual texture, the slate grey stripes offer graphic definition without feeling stark or rigid. The balanced vertical repeat adds height and structure to an interior while retaining a crafted, relaxed charm. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The upright cadence of this design makes it a versatile choice across several areas of the home. In an entryway or hallway, the vertical awning stripes draw the eye upward, giving narrower proportions a tailored, structured feel. We also see this working exceptionally well across all four walls of a dining room or a bedroom, where the rhythm wraps the space in a cosy, heritage-inspired atmosphere without overwhelming everyday living. Because the repeating pattern is balanced and consistent, it sits comfortably on walls interrupted by doorways, sash windows, or classic picture rails.

Styling it

The tailored yet rustic character of ticking stripes pairs naturally with both traditional and relaxed modern country interiors. We would lean into warm painted cabinetry or classic painted wood furniture in soft stone or deep charcoal to echo the stripe work.

When it comes to surrounding textures, introducing tactile, unvarnished finishes helps bring out the stitched look within the motif. Simple earthenware, vintage metal hardware, and soft woven upholstery in plain weaves balance the graphic vertical lines without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a quiet pairing of deep slate grey and an earthy, soft cream base with subtle tonal speckling.

When choosing surrounding paint shades for adjoining walls, woodwork, or ceiling surfaces, we suggest pulling from this balanced palette:

• Soft off-white or light buttermilk to match the warm ground of the wallpaper and keep the room bright.
• Muted stone grey or warm taupe on skirting and architraves to frame the pattern gently.
• Deep charcoal or vintage slate for accent woodwork, shelving, or a focal piece of furniture to tie directly into the stripes.
