Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Khaki

Our Ticking Awning Stripes, Khaki wallpaper brings together classic vertical awning bands and the delicate, stitched detailing of vintage ticking fabric. Designed by RNM Arts, this design pairs broad khaki green-brown stripes with fine dashed linework set against a warm, speckled cream backdrop with subtle crosshatch visual texture. The balanced vertical rhythm gives height and structure to a room without feeling rigid or stark. Made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle physical structure in the paper and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

The vertical alignment in this design works particularly well for drawing the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights or spaces where you want to add structural definition. In a hallway or entryway, the rhythm of the repeating stripes creates a welcoming sense of progression along the wall.

We also see this design working beautifully across all four walls in a bedroom, dining area, or home office. Because the contrast between the khaki tones and the creamy off-white base is soft rather than stark, the pattern provides architectural interest without overwhelming the space. On larger, unbroken walls, the alternating broad bands and fine stitching details can be appreciated in full, while on smaller wall sections around doorways or windows, the clean vertical flow keeps the room feeling orderly.

Styling it

The textile-inspired character of this pattern naturally complements spaces furnished with casual, timeless pieces. We suggest pairing it with warm wood finishes such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or pine, which echo the earthy undertone of the khaki stripes.

To maintain visual balance, keep larger upholstered furniture relatively simple and let the wall murals serve as the primary graphic element. Woven natural textures like linen cushions, jute floor coverings, or unbleached canvas drapery pair effortlessly with the subtle crosshatch character of the background. For hardware and lighting, muted finishes like antique brass, matte bronze, or blackened iron create an understated, grounded look.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centers on an earthy, muted khaki green-brown set over a warm, speckled off-white base.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, warm off-whites, ivory, and soft oatmeal shades create a seamless, cohesive backdrop that lets the stripes stand out gently. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents in your woodwork or built-in shelving, rich forest greens, dark olive, or warm charcoal bring out the depth of the vertical bands. For accents and textiles, muted terracotta, dusty mustard, or soft sage work harmoniously alongside the earthy khaki tones.
