Stripes vs Geometric Wallpaper: What's the Difference?
Stripes: Stripes are the tailoring of the wallpaper world – from slim pinstripes to broad Regency bands. Geometric: Geometric wallpaper ranges from crisp mid-century triangles to soft Moorish arches. In practice: Stripes are forgiving to hang in hallways and staircases and pair easily with florals in adjoining rooms. Small-scale geometrics make hallways feel smart and considered; large-scale ones can visually widen narrow rooms when hung horizontally. Our range has 119 stripes and 245 geometric designs.
