Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Slate

Our Ticking Awning Stripes wallpaper in Slate, designed by RNM Arts, pairs classic vertical awning stripes with fine ticking details and a subtle textured backdrop. Broad slate grey bands are framed by delicate dashed lines, set against a soft cream background lightly speckled with painterly flecks. The rhythmic vertical repeat brings order and understated character to a room, creating a tailored look that feels both classic and relaxed. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper murals, this PVC-free design features a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the printed pattern.

In the room

We see this striped design working particularly well in an entryway, hallway, bedroom, dining area, or living room. The strong vertical repeat naturally draws the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want to emphasize wall height or give a sense of architectural structure to a flat wall. Because the repeat is balanced and rhythmic, it works beautifully across all four walls of a smaller room or compact study, as well as on a prominent feature wall behind a bed or dining table. In spaces with ample natural daylight, the fine dashed lines within each stripe and the delicate flecks across the cream base become especially noticeable, while softer evening lighting brings out the quiet warmth of the slate and off-white tones.

Styling it

The tailored, fabric-inspired feel of this design makes it exceptionally versatile across traditional, coastal, farmhouse, and contemporary interior styles. We would pair it with warm natural wood furniture, such as light oak or warm walnut, which complements the softness of the cream ground and grounds the slate grey lines. Clean-lined upholstery in plain woven fabrics like linen or cotton keeps the focus on the wall pattern without competing with it. For decorative hardware or lighting fixtures, antique brass, muted bronze, or matte black metal accents echo the tonal depth of the slate stripes nicely.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep slate grey, soft cream, and subtle muted grey speckles. To create a cohesive look around the room, you can pair it with off-white or warm ivory paint on adjacent walls, woodwork, and ceilings. For a bolder, more enveloping atmosphere, deep charcoal, muted olive, or warm slate grey cabinetry and trim provide a striking contrast that picks up the tone of the main stripes. Natural sandy beige, warm taupe, and soft earthenware tones also blend harmoniously with the background.
