Painted Stripe is a hand-painted vertical stripe from the Threads Vinyl Wallpaper Collection I, with the loose, brushed edges of a stripe laid down by hand rather than printed with a hard line. The unevenness is the point: it gives a graphic format real warmth, and the vinyl surface adds a soft, low sheen that catches the light as you move past it. It reads as considered and architectural rather than simply striped, and it holds up well in a room that gets used every day.
The paper is a vinyl wallcovering, 68.5 centimetres wide; no repeat or match is published for this design. It comes in three colourways, Parchment, Bronze and Pebble: Parchment is the palest and most versatile, Bronze brings a warm, metallic-toned stripe into a scheme, and Pebble is the cool, grey-toned option for a more restrained room.
We tend to use Painted Stripe in a hallway or a cloakroom where the vertical line adds height, and on the long wall of a dining room where it can be read from a distance. It pairs well with plain linen curtains and a textured weave on the seating, so the wall carries the pattern on its own. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room.
Roll width for this paper is 68.5 centimetres; roll lengths are commonly around 10 metres as an industry rule of thumb, giving roughly three drops on a standard 2.4 metre wall, so a 4 metre wall would need about two rolls, though we always confirm the true roll length before ordering. Hang paste-the-wall, butt the joins, and roll the seams gently; being vinyl, it is spongeable and hard-wearing, so the wall should be sound and sealed before you start.
