Striped wallpaper is not only about color or scale. Finish changes how light moves across the wall, how contrast reads, and how much depth a stripe carries once installed. The same stripe can feel crisp and architectural in one finish, softly layered in another.
We currently offer three finishes: Smooth, Linen, and Silk. Each creates a distinct relationship between surface, light, and proportion.

Smooth Finish: Clean, Graphic, Precise
Our smooth finish, also known as no finish, keeps the surface visually uninterrupted. It delivers sharp contrast, clean color transitions, and modern clarity that emphasizes structure.
This finish works beautifully in:
Smooth allows color and proportion to take center stage. If you want stripes to feel exact and confident, this is the most disciplined option.
⫼⫼⫼
Linen Finish: Softly Layered, Relaxed, Dimensional
The linen finish introduces a subtle woven effect that gently diffuses light. It softens contrast and adds visual depth without overwhelming the stripe itself.
This finish is ideal for:
Linen adds nuance. Colors feel slightly warmer. Edges feel more relaxed. It creates an inviting, layered presence that works beautifully in bedrooms, transitional homes, and intimate spaces.
⫼⫼⫼
Silk Finish: Slubbed Variation, Formal Refinement
Our silk finish introduces the look of slubbed or dupioni silk. The surface remains smooth, but subtle highs and lows create visual variation across each stripe.
Color stays vibrant. Contrast remains clear. Yet the irregular silk character interrupts the stripe just enough to introduce depth and elegance.
Best suited for:
Silk deepens darker tones and adds luminosity to lighter ones.

How Finish Interacts with Color, Scale & Pattern
Finish influences perception.
Smooth amplifies contrast in bold Wide Stripes and graphic patterns.
Linen tempers intensity in tonal Color Collections and classic Ticking Stripes.
Silk enhances depth in saturated hues and narrower scales.
A wide stripe in smooth will feel dramatic and architectural. The same stripe in linen will feel relaxed and layered. In silk, it becomes richer and more formal.
