There's nothing like a room that's been transformed with patterned walls. If you're in search of creative ideas to spruce up the underwhelming walls in your home, consider a striped pattern. Whether you go for horizontal or vertical stripes, a painted look or a sophisticated wall covering, your home is guaranteed to look way chicer. See this roundup of rooms featuring striped walls in a range of fashionable color schemes.

PINSTRIPED ACCENT

In this boys' room designed by Brian J. McCarthy, pinstriped walls accompany sophisticated accents, including a custom patterned rug, pillows in a wave print, and polka dot bedding.

VINTAGE AESTHETIC

In this Roman Palazzo by architect Achille Salvagni, pinstriped wallpaper by Ralph Lauren Home adds a sophisticated flair to the space. The design also features tub fittings by Lefroy Brooks, a heirloom 1750 Italian stool, and a 1930s Venini chandelier.

SOPHISTICATED BLACK AND WHITE

This Madrid guest bedroom is a lesson in mixing patterns, thanks to its striped wallpaper by Ralph Lauren Home, a daybed upholstered in a Jim Thompson toile de Jouy, and graphic black and white flooring.

TIMELESS STRIPES

Neutral stripes make for a timeless backdrop in this estate outside Florence. Complementing the look are 18th-century inlaid Tuscan tables flanking the doorway, wooden armchairs that are 18th-century Venetian, floor lamps and straw curtains by Ilaria Miani, and 19th-century lithographs depicting scenes of India.

CLASSIC BLACK AND WHITE

With this kids' bathroom, designer Amy Morris proves that black and white stripes are here to stay.

NAUTICAL-INSPIRED

Nautical-inspired blue and white stripes complete this entry hall, which leads to a cozy dining room. Cement tiles in a chevron pattern lend a modern flair.

RED ALL OVER

In this hallway in event planner Bronson Van Wyck's Manhattan home, the walls are sheathed in mattress ticking that are dressed with black and white photographs.

BEACH VIBE

Almaviva tiles in a blue-and-white stripe add a dose of style to a bathroom in an Ibiza beach house. A porthole over a pair of Villeroy & Boc sinks provides an underwater view of the pool.

NEUTRAL STRIPES

Striped walls painted in Benjamin Moore Aurain Balboa Mist and White add contrast to the pops of red in this Manhattan nursery. The room also includes a Ballard Designs daybed and a Dwell Studio chair. The ottoman is covered in Carolina George fabric and the watercolor is by Paul Jenkins.

TROMPE L'OEIL STRIPES

Thanks to decorative artist Deborah Phillips, a trompe l’oeil striped tent steals the show in this guest room. The contemporary interior, which was designed by Ken Fulk, is finished with linens by Schweitzer and a photograph of model Cheryl Tiegs by Anne Collier.
