Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Liquorice

Our Ticking Awning Stripes, Liquorice wallpaper pairs broad awning-scale vertical bands with delicate interior ticking lines, created by RNM Arts. Set against a warm cream ground with subtle flecks and fine crosshatch detailing, the dark charcoal and black stripes create a striking graphic rhythm across the wall. The contrast between wide structural stripes and miniature dashed lines gives the pattern a tailored, textile-inspired feel that brings character without feeling overly heavy. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The vertical rhythm of this stripe design works naturally to draw the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for a hallway, dining room, or bedroom where you want to add height and structured visual interest. In a larger living room or open-plan area, we love seeing these striped wall murals applied across a continuous wall behind a low sofa or credenza, where the clean vertical lines anchor the space without competing with your everyday layout. Because the pattern relies on a balanced repetition rather than a singular focal point, it also works wonderfully wrapping around multiple walls in an entryway or a cosy home office, creating a cohesive, tailored envelope.

Styling it

To complement the graphic balance of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that brings warmth and organic texture into the room.

• Warm wood tones, such as mid-tone oak or rich walnut, soften the high contrast of the dark liquorice stripes and keep the overall scheme grounded.
• Tailored upholstered pieces in textured neutral fabrics, like oatmeal boucle or heavy linen-look weave, echo the textile inspiration of the ticking pattern.
• Black metal accents, such as a slender floor lamp, iron curtain rods, or minimalist picture frames, cleanly tie into the deep charcoal lines of the pattern.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on deep liquorice black and soft off-white cream, accented with fine charcoal stippling. When planning surrounding surfaces, soft off-white and warm ivory tones on adjacent walls and trim will let the wallpaper integrate seamlessly into the architecture. If you want to introduce more depth, muted earthy hues like warm taupe, olive green, or terracotta on soft furnishings and accent pieces create a sophisticated, lived-in contrast against the crisp monochrome stripes.
