Striped Wallpaper: Styles, Ideas & How to Make It Yours

Papier peint rayé : styles, idées et comment l'adopter

Le papier peint à rayures qui ne se démode jamais

Il y a une raison pour laquelle la rayure ne se démode jamais. Bien avant de devenir un raccourci de bon goût pour les décorateurs, la rayure faisait un travail discret et confiant — attirant le regard, donnant proportion et équilibre à une pièce, et se mariant aussi facilement avec un motif floral qu'avec un motif uni. Le papier peint à rayures est l'un de ces rares motifs qui semble à la fois classique et actuel, c'est précisément pourquoi il a sa place dans une maison réfléchie.

Chez Claret & Key, chaque rayure est dessinée par nos propres designers et imprimée à la commande dans notre atelier du Cheshire, de sorte que la version qui arrive à votre porte est celle que vous avez choisie — votre échelle, votre palette de couleurs, faite pour vos murs et ceux de personne d'autre.

Les multiples facettes de la rayure

Toutes les rayures ne parlent pas le même langage, et choisir la bonne est vraiment une question d'ambiance que vous recherchez.

La rayure large — parfois appelée rayure Régence ou extra-large — est la plus audacieuse de la famille. Des bandes généreuses apportent une grandeur décontractée et pleine de caractère qui convient magnifiquement à un couloir ou à un salon, et elle connaît un véritable engouement dans les intérieurs actuellement. À l'autre extrémité se trouve la rayure fine : des lignes fines et rapprochées qui ressemblent presque à une texture de l'autre côté de la pièce, parfaites lorsque vous voulez de la structure sans faire de déclaration. Entre les deux se trouve la rayure perpétuelle — la rayure douce et légèrement imparfaite de l'ancien tissu de matelas, et aussi intemporelle que la décoration.

Choisir votre couleur

Parce que nos motifs sont imprimés sur commande, la couleur vous appartient — et les rayures récompensent une palette réfléchie. Une rayure rose apporte chaleur et douceur à une chambre ; une rayure bleue est fraîche et côtière dans une cuisine ou une chambre d'enfant ; une rayure verte penche vers le côté élégant et champêtre. Pour quelque chose de plus audacieux, une rayure moutarde chaude, rouge ou prune ajoute de la profondeur et une touche d'inattendu. Quoi que vous choisissiez, elle est imprimée dans la couleur de votre choix plutôt que tirée d'une gamme fixe.

Comment utiliser le papier peint à rayures chez soi

C'est là qu'une rayure prend toute sa valeur. Accrochées verticalement, les rayures attirent le regard vers le haut et donnent l'impression que le plafond est plus haut — une astuce discrète à connaître dans une chambre basse ou un petit espace. Accrochées horizontalement, elles élargissent un espace étroit et apportent une sensation plus décontractée et moderne ; c'est le choix le plus audacieux, et d'autant plus frappant.

Quant à l'endroit : les couloirs et les escaliers adorent une rayure, car le rythme vertical flatte la hauteur et le motif ne submergera pas un espace que vous ne faites que traverser. Les salons acceptent facilement une rayure plus large. Et une rayure fine ou un pinstripe donne à une chambre une sensation de calme et d'ordre plutôt que d'agitation. Une rayure joue également magnifiquement le rôle de second plan — associez-la à un motif floral pour un look superposé et harmonieux.

Votre rayure, votre style

Chaque motif Claret & Key est disponible en trois finitions, la seule chose que vous choisissez est la façon dont vous voulez vivre avec. Le traditionnel (150 g/m², super-mat) est le classique raffiné à poser au mur. Le Heavy-Grade (300 g/m², avec une subtile texture sable) est conçu pour les couloirs et les pièces à fort passage. Et le papier peint amovible (180 g/m²) vous offre le même design et la même finition sans l'engagement — idéal pour les locataires ou pour quiconque aime changer d'avis.

Les trois sont imprimés sur commande sur du papier certifié FSC, sans PVC et sans COV — plus respectueux de la planète et sûr pour toutes les pièces de la maison, y compris les chambres d'enfants. Rien n'est imprimé avant que vous ne le commandiez : moins de gaspillage et un mur qui est vraiment le vôtre.

Vous ne savez pas quelle couleur choisir ? Commandez un échantillon et voyez votre rayure sous votre propre lumière avant de vous décider.

Frequently Asked Questions About Striped Wallpaper

Does striped wallpaper make a room look bigger?

Yes, used well. Vertical stripes add a sense of height, while horizontal stripes make a room feel wider. It's one of the oldest tricks in decorating for reshaping how a space is perceived.

What is ticking stripe wallpaper?

Ticking stripe takes its name from the durable striped fabric once used to cover mattresses — a fine, evenly-spaced stripe, usually in a soft colour on a cream ground. It's a heritage look that feels calm and lived-in.

What is the widest striped wallpaper available?

Our wide, or Regency, stripes offer generous, broad bands for a relaxed, characterful feel. Because designs are made to order, the scale and colour can be chosen to suit your room.

Can I get striped wallpaper in a custom colour?

Yes. Every Claret & Key stripe is printed to order, so you choose the colour way rather than settling for a fixed palette — your design, printed especially for you.

Is striped wallpaper still in style?

Very much so. The stripe is one of the few designs that never really leaves, and wide and ticking stripes in particular are a fixture of the current move toward warm, characterful interiors.

Customer photo review of Brontë

I love how everything turned out and the price point was great. It was a bit challenging to piece together. Being from the USA, it was kind of a challenge to convert all the measurements to figure out how many rolls I needed and then where to cut the rolls to line up the images based on the design repetition. Luckily, I had plenty of wallpaper to work with on the roll.

Customer photo review of Adele

Gorgeous wallpaper, but the measuring option on the website left us short by 1 roll. Had to order another one but when it came the colour match was perfect. Thankfully I wasn’t paying for a decorator, otherwise would have been disappointed in having to pay for them to return. Otherwise great quality wallpaper and design compared to other similar products available.

Customer photo review of Stella

Lovely pattern and paper quality. However, I wish that I had paid more attention to the roll width measurement. For some strange reason your paper is narrower than a standard roll. This caused me a great deal of problems when papering my lobby, a small area but that made it more difficult because I was left with a narrow space to fill on 3 walls with a very long drop. Although I love the paper I probably wouldn't use it again just for this reason. Why you would produce paper not of a standard width is for you to know and me to wonder but it has made my small project very difficult.

Customer photo review of Ackley

Used this paper to make a dark study cosier. Absolutely loved the colour - the background is a perfect match to our existing panelling painted in Farrow and Ball Old White. First time using paste the wall and it was a revelation so easy and much less mess. Quality of the paper is great but noted the rolls are slightly narrower than most wallpapers. Loved the pattern match which meant little waste what we had left we used to recover some old box files which was easy. I thoroughly recommend.

Great quality wallpaper! The print is beautiful, the wallpaper is thick, and fairly easy to install. Our small area took about an hour and a half because we had a lot of of awkward cuts. Will definitely be using this brand again!

I bought the heavy grade vinyl wall paper from this design. It is a heavy material and better to work with, I love how it came out.
