Wallpaper - Lucky Stripes

Designed by Janelle Penner, our Lucky Stripes wallpaper brings a calm, heritage-inspired rhythm to the wall through alternating vertical bands and intricate Celtic knotwork ribbons. Earthy sage, soft olive, and deeper forest greens meet warm ochre and pale cream, with hand-painted visual texture giving each stripe an organic, painted-linen feel. The combination of clean vertical lines and decorative scrollwork creates an orderly yet gently nostalgic character. Made-to-measure on our subtle, PVC-free paper, this wallpaper offers a considered balance of structure and traditional decorative detail.

In the room

We see Lucky Stripes working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of architectural structure and classic calm, such as a study, home library, or living room. The vertical orientation draws the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights where you want to emphasize vertical space.

Because the repeat is balanced and rhythmic, it works beautifully across all four walls of a dedicated reading room or study without overwhelming the space. In a larger living room, we also love using our wall murals on a main feature wall behind a sofa or flanking built-in bookshelves, where the Celtic interlace bands can serve as an elegant graphic focal point.

Styling it

To complement the heritage character of the design, we recommend leaning into timeless interior styles like traditional, classic country, or mid-century study aesthetics.

Pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture, such as medium oak or aged walnut desks and shelving, which harmonise with the warm ochre stripes. To let the geometric knotwork stand out, keep upholstery and large textiles relatively quiet, opting for solid woven fabrics or subtle tweeds rather than competing patterns. Understated antique brass or aged bronze accents in lighting and cabinet hardware echo the golden-toned striping while keeping the overall room feeling grounded and authentic.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced palette of army green, soft sage, muted forest tones, warm ochre, and pale off-white.

When decorating around this design, we suggest drawing out the off-white background with soft neutral paint on surrounding woodwork, doors, and cornicing. For adjacent walls or built-in cabinetry, muted heritage greens or deep olive tones create a sophisticated, cocooning feel. If you prefer a warmer, contrasting accent, subtle mustard or amber textiles bring out the golden lines within the stripe motif.
