Striped wallpaper is not only versatile in style but it can also be used to create illusions that will deceive your perception of space. Traditionally stripes were a vertically hung print with even stripes across the wall. Vertically hung stripes can help create the illusion of height making ceilings appear taller to open up and make a space seem more airy.

Horizontal stripes are more of a modern and contemporary style that is edgy and fresh. They are more playful especially when implemented in bold colours with different widths and sheens. Unlike the vertical stripe, horizontal stripes elongate spaces making them seem wider. Stripes can also be great for directing and creating a sense of movement in hallways or transitional spaces for a rhythmic flow.
