Striped Wall Murals: Precision Lines That Visually Transform Your Space
Striped Wall Murals are my go-to when a room needs instant structure, rhythm, and scale. A well-composed striped wall mural frames furniture, stretches ceilings, and calms busy layouts with measured repetition. Whether you prefer the tailored look of vertical striped wallpaper or the lounge-like breadth of horizontal striped wallpaper, stripes offer a designer’s shortcut to balance. Choose wide stripe wallpaper for bold, gallery-ready impact, or narrow stripe wallpaper for a refined, pinstriped finish reminiscent of boutique hotels. From crisp, modern striped wallpaper to softly aged finishes that echo vintage striped wallpaper, the category spans moods and eras. And because we craft striped photo wallpaper with high-fidelity inks, lines stay razor-sharp and colors remain true. At Muralas, I specify stripes as a striped feature wall or a subtle striped accent wall to zone open-plan spaces and guide the eye—without clutter. In short: timeless geometry, tailored to your room.
Why stripes work when other patterns don’t
If your space feels short, crowded, or mismatched, stripes correct proportions fast. Vertical lines “lift” low ceilings; horizontal bands visually widen narrow rooms. For renters or frequent refreshers, peel and stick striped wallpaper and removable striped wallpaper keep updates flexible and mess-free. Need mood-specific palettes? We build palettes that suit a striped wallpaper for bedroom (soft neutrals, restful contrasts) and a striped wallpaper for living room (bolder rhythm, conversation-starting hues). Since 2005, Muralas has combined eco-inks with advanced printing for durable, clean edges and colorfastness. Explore modern options across our modern collection, pair stripes with airy space-enhancing scenes, or layer textures from the texture series. For coordinating looks, browse nature motifs, serene seaside views, or light-filled daylight designs.

Real results from my projects
- A low, 1960s flat gained the look of +28% ceiling height with vertical bands and soft white trim—paired with airy palm leaves to soften the edges.
- A narrow lounge felt 1.5m wider after a horizontal navy scheme and framed art—balanced by a calm city vista opposite.
In the customer’s words: “Installation was clean, the lines are razor-sharp, and our striped feature wall set the tone for the whole room—confident but calm.”

FAQ: Striped Wall Murals
Do stripes make a small room look bigger?
Yes. Vertical striped wallpaper draws the eye upward, creating perceived height, while horizontal striped wallpaper visually expands tight widths. Pick softer contrasts for smaller rooms to keep the effect gentle and refined.
Which stripe direction should I use?
Use vertical for height and structure; use horizontal to add width and a relaxed feel. For complex rooms, a custom striped wall mural can tailor direction and scale to each wall for the best result.
Are stripes suitable for bedrooms and living rooms?
Absolutely—choose a striped wallpaper for bedroom with calm, narrow bands and softened contrasts. In social spaces, a striped wallpaper for living room can go bolder, especially on a striped feature wall behind the sofa or media unit.
What’s the difference between peel-and-stick and pasted options?
Peel and stick striped wallpaper installs quickly and removes cleanly—great for rentals. Pasted materials offer maximum durability and are ideal for long-term, high-traffic areas.
How do I avoid busy or dizzying effects?
Balance scale and contrast: narrow stripe wallpaper at low contrast is soothing; wide stripe wallpaper at higher contrast is bold. Pair stripes with calm companions like lavender florals or minimalist architecture scenes.
Can I get a large mural with photo-level detail?
Yes—our striped photo wallpaper and large-scale striped mural options use high-resolution printing for crisp edges, even at grand sizes. We’ll scale the repeat for perfect proportions.
What if I want a modern or vintage look?
We offer modern striped wallpaper with clean, saturated tones and vintage striped wallpaper with softened edges and heritage palettes. For coordination, explore foliage or geometric companions like geometric depth.
