Wallpaper - Stripy Gingham, Slate

Our Stripy Gingham, Slate wallpaper, created in collaboration with RNM Arts, brings a relaxed, hand-drawn character to classic check pattern. Layered gridlines in slate gray and charcoal cross over an off-white background, creating a woven, textile-inspired visual texture with soft variations in density and line weight. The organic quality of the lines softens the geometric structure, giving the overall design a gentle, lived-in rhythm rather than rigid precision. Produced as made-to-measure murals, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the surface while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the grid combines open spacing with intricate cross-hatching, we find this wallpaper works effortlessly in both smaller spaces and larger, open-plan rooms. In a bedroom, it creates a calming and cozy backdrop behind a headboard, where the textile-like pattern adds visual warmth without dominating the room. It also works beautifully in an entryway or hallway, where the balanced vertical and horizontal lines add visual height and continuity. In an open dining area or living room, the subtle slate tones allow you to paper all four walls for an enveloping, tailored feel, or apply it to a single accent wall to anchor a seating zone.

Styling it

The hand-drawn lines pair naturally with warm, relaxed interiors that lean toward modern rustic, Scandinavian, or contemporary country styles.

We suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings grounded in quiet, tactile textures. Warm wood furniture, such as natural oak or warm walnut, provides an inviting contrast to the cool slate lines. For upholstery and drapery, solid fabrics in off-white, oatmeal, or washed charcoal let the wallpaper's line work stand out without visual clutter. Matte black metal accents on lighting or hardware can echo the darker charcoal strokes in the check pattern and tie the whole space together.

Color combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centers on deep slate gray, soft charcoal, and clean off-white.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, or cabinetry, soft warm whites and muted chalky neutrals keep the overall atmosphere airy and bright. For a richer, more tailored aesthetic, deep charcoal, muted navy, or earthy olive green on trim and interior doors pick up the deeper tones of the gridlines and create an intentional, graphic frame around the room.
