Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Slate

Our Ticking Awning Stripes, Slate wallpaper, created by RNM Arts, brings a classic vertical pattern together with subtle, textile-inspired surface detailing. Wide awning bands alternate with rhythmic ticking lines in slate grey and charcoal tones against a soft cream backdrop. Delicate stippled speckles and cross-hatch visual texture run through the field, giving the geometric structure a gentler, handcrafted feel rather than a rigid graphic edge. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inviting, timeless rhythm that sits naturally in both relaxed country homes and tailored contemporary interiors.

In the room

We find this vertical stripe works particularly well in rooms where you want to draw the eye upward and give wall heights a sense of elegance. In a hallway or entryway, the structured rhythm provides clear visual direction and creates a welcoming atmosphere right from the front door. It is equally suited to bedrooms, guest rooms, and dining areas, where the balanced spacing creates an orderly accent wall behind a headboard or along a dining table. Because the contrast is defined without being harsh, the repeat can also wrap across all four walls in a study or snug without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

The vintage awning and ticking aesthetic pairs beautifully with traditional joinery, shaker cabinetry, and painted timber furniture in muted tones. We would combine this wallpaper with natural upholstery such as wool or woven cotton to echo the textile-like quality of the artwork. Simple bronze or blackened metal hardware complements the slate grey lines, while warm wooden finishes like oak or pine soften the overall scheme.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in deep slate grey, charcoal, and warm cream, accented by soft grey speckles throughout the ground. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting, creamy off-whites and pale stone neutrals maintain a clean, harmonious flow. If you want to introduce deeper contrasts, rich charcoal, warm olive green, or muted navy on adjacent doors and architectural trim will pick out the darker stripes in the pattern nicely.
