Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Sage

Our Ticking Awning Stripes wallpaper, created with RNM Arts, brings a relaxed, textile-inspired rhythm to the wall. The design alternates wide vertical stripes in soft sage green with cream-toned bands, detailed with fine dashed ticking lines and subtle flecks across the background that give the pattern a gentle woven look. What we particularly like is the balance between the structured vertical repeat and the softer, hand-rendered character of the lines, making it calm and grounded rather than rigid. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The vertical stripe structure makes this design adaptable across a variety of room sizes. In a hallway or entryway, the vertical direction naturally draws the eye upward, giving narrower spaces an open, orderly feel. In a living room or dining area, we like running the repeat across several walls or throughout the entire room, where the rhythmic bands create a tailored, cohesive backdrop without overwhelming the space.

Because the contrast between the sage green and pale cream is soft, the wallpaper also works beautifully in a bedroom or nursery, wrapping around the wall behind a bed or cot. The repeat handles architectural interruptions like doors and windows smoothly, maintaining its steady balance across broken wall sections.

Styling it

The classic ticking aesthetic lends itself naturally to cottage, country, or modern coastal interiors. We suggest pairing this wallpaper with painted joinery or warm wood furniture, such as pine or light oak, which echoes the natural feel of the sage tones.

For textiles, simple upholstery in natural linen, unbleached cotton, or soft wool coordinates effortlessly with the woven character of the motif. Because the vertical lines carry a defined geometry, we would keep surrounding patterns quiet, perhaps layering in a solid-toned wool rug or plain woven curtains to let the walls provide the primary visual texture.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on soft sage green paired with a warm, speckled cream background. To complement the wallpaper, look to gentle neutrals such as warm off-whites, parchment, or pale linen tones for woodwork and skirting. Deeper moss greens or muted olive can be pulled into upholstery, painted shelving, or trim to echo the green stripes with added depth. For an earthy contrast, soft terracotta accents or warm ochre details also sit comfortably alongside the sage.
