Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Khaki

Designed by RNM Arts, our Ticking Awning Stripes, Khaki wallpaper brings together classic ticking details with the bold rhythm of broader awning stripes. The vertical bands alternate between wide cream intervals and structured olive-khaki stripes, detailed with fine dashed lines and subtle stitched-looking textures that give the repeat a vintage textile character. A gentle speckled pattern across the warm cream ground softens the contrast, creating a balanced, rhythmic pattern that adds height and timeless architectural order to an interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper that makes it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the vertical stripe structure draws the eye upward, we particularly like this design in rooms with standard or lower ceilings, such as a bedroom, hallway, or dining space where it creates an impression of vertical lift. In a long entryway or staircase, the continuous vertical bands provide clean visual continuity along walls interrupted by doorways. The balanced scale also makes it adaptable for full-room wallpapering across all four walls in a study or guest bedroom, offering a cosy, tailored feel without overwhelming the space. If used on a single accent wall behind a sofa or bed frame, the broad stripes establish a calm, grounded backdrop that defines the seating or sleeping area.

Styling it

The vintage textile aesthetic pairs naturally with classic, country, or relaxed modern interiors. We would lean towards warm wood furniture, such as honey pine, aged ash, or warm oak, which complements the earthiness of the khaki stripes. Upholstered pieces in unbleached neutral fabrics or textured weaves keep the overall mood understated and comfortable, allowing the wall pattern to provide the primary graphic interest. For decorative accents, consider antique brass fittings, unlacquered bronze hardware, or matte ceramic pieces that mirror the handcrafted, traditional look of the design.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper features earthy olive khaki, soft sepia detailing, and a warm, speckled cream ground. When painting adjacent walls or architectural woodwork, we suggest warm off-white or soft linen shades that match the cream base to create a seamless, cohesive backdrop. To introduce subtle depth, muted sage or deep moss green on skirting boards, door frames, or built-in shelving echoes the olive tones within the stripes. For a slightly richer contrast in surrounding upholstery or curtains, warm terracotta, soft ochre, or chocolate brown accents work beautifully alongside the khaki.
