Wallpaper - Ticking Awning Stripes, Liquorice

Our Ticking Awning Stripes wallpaper in Liquorice, designed by RNM Arts, brings a classic vertical pattern together with subtle graphic texture. Wide bands in deep charcoal black alternate with pale cream stripes, detailed with fine dashed pinstripes and a gentle speckled patina across the background. The vertical rhythm creates a grounded, balanced feel across the wall, while the hand-drawn quality softens the overall contrast. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it simple to hang and easy to integrate into a wide range of interior styles.

In the room

The steady vertical stripe works particularly well to add height and structure to a room. In a hallway or entryway, the rhythm helps lead the eye naturally through the space, creating an inviting transition area. We also see this wallpaper working beautifully in a bedroom behind a headboard or wrapping a dining room to establish a tailored, intimate backdrop. Because the repeat is disciplined and clean, it suits both larger open-plan wall areas and smaller, more compact rooms without feeling overwhelming.

Styling it

We would pair this pattern with warm, understated materials that complement its graphic balance. Consider styling with:

• Warm wooden furniture, such as honey-toned oak, mid-century teak, or dark-stained timber, which softens the contrast of the black and cream stripes.
• Soft woven textiles in oatmeal, raw linen, or slubby wool across curtains and upholstery to mirror the visual texture within the print.
• Simple black metal accents, vintage lighting, or muted brass hardware that pick up the clean lines of the liquorice stripes.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a high-contrast foundation of deep liquorice charcoal and soft, warm cream, lightly accented by fine off-white stitched lines and charcoal speckles. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, warm off-whites, parchment, and pale stone shades create a seamless, harmonious flow. For a moodier or more contemporary scheme, deep charcoal or muted olive greens on woodwork and doors provide an elegant frame for the striped pattern.
