Stripes are more than just lines on a wall — they’re a design tool that has shaped interiors for centuries. Used in Europe since the 18th century, stripes added elegance to grand Regency homes and order to humble Victorian rooms. Beyond decoration, they manipulate perception: vertical stripes lift ceilings, horizontal ones broaden walls, and narrow ticking-style bands can bring subtle rhythm and refinement. Whether bold or delicate, stripes reveal how a simple pattern can transform both the look and feel of a space.
