Wallpaper - Barn Stripes

Our Barn Stripes wallpaper brings together the weathered character of traditional rural architecture, captured in detailed photography by Nathan Larson. The composition is built around vertical wooden planks in an aged brick red with visible peeling paint and metal fixings, balanced above by light beige corrugated metal panelling and grounded along the base by a strip of green grass. The strong vertical lines of the timber give the pattern clear architectural rhythm, while the contrasting horizontal divide between the corrugated metal and painted wood adds visual structure across the wall. Like all our wall murals, 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

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or kitchen where the vertical timber lines can lend warmth and height to the space. Because the motif is divided into distinct horizontal layers with the grass at the ground, weathered red timber across the mid-section, and corrugated panelling at the top, it benefits from a wall where lower furniture does not completely obscure the transition at the base. In a dining area, positioning a table against this backdrop lets the red wooden planks frame the seating naturally. For a cabin or country kitchen, the architectural character of our mural wallpapers helps anchor the space without requiring complex pattern repeats across every wall.

Styling it

The distinct architectural elements in this wallpaper call for thoughtful balance in the surrounding room:

• Keep larger furniture relatively simple in form so the weathered detail and strong linear rhythm of the wooden planks remain the central focus.
• Warm, natural wood finishes or painted cabinetry in muted creams and off-whites complement the rustic farmhouse tone without competing with the red planks.
• Black metal accents, such as iron light fixtures or simple dining chair frames, echo the exposed industrial hardware visible within the photography.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on earthy brick red, warm weathered beige from the corrugated siding, and fresh grass green at the baseline. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft stone neutrals, and creamy beiges create a cohesive, grounded transition that mirrors the upper metal panels. For accent pieces, deep forest greens or muted charcoals bring out the natural tones and shadowed seams of the timber planks, while avoiding overly bright, synthetic colours that would fight with the aged finish.
