3. Striped Wall Patterns

Classic and versatile, striped walls can be bold or subtle depending on your style.

Why it works:

  • Vertical stripes make ceilings appear higher.
  • Horizontal stripes make rooms feel larger.
  • Easy to customize with color and thickness.

How to DIY:

  1. Measure and mark even lines across the wall with a level.
  2. Apply painter’s tape to outline the stripes.
  3. Alternate colors (contrasting or tonal).
  4. Peel off tape once paint is dry.

Pro tip: For a chic twist, try metallic or pastel stripes instead of traditional bold colors.
