Stripes vs Check & Plaid Wallpaper: What's the Difference?

Quick answer

Stripes: Stripes are the tailoring of the wallpaper world – from slim pinstripes to broad Regency bands. Check & Plaid: Checks and plaids – gingham, tartan, windowpane, dogtooth – bring country-house cosiness and quiet tailoring. In practice: Stripes are forgiving to hang in hallways and staircases and pair easily with florals in adjoining rooms. Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks. Our range has 119 stripes and 56 check & plaid designs.
