Buying type of stripes — guide&Tips
Whether you are designing a children's room or visually brightening up a play area in the living room: the choice of the right stripe type determines the overall impression of the room. In the category "Type of Stripes" you will find 41 wallpaper variants that differ in width, arrangement, and contrast. Each variant creates its own effect: block stripes set clear, graphic accents, while uniform stripes have a more calming effect.
For bright, small rooms,medium stripeswith subtle color gradations are suitable – they make the room appear larger without being overwhelming.Block stripe wallpapersare particularly suitable as an accent wall behind the bed or the play corner. When buying, pay attention to the pattern repeat length: large patterns require more waste and should be measured precisely. For stripes withstraight edgethe seam appearance is crucial – here a second look at the processing quality is worthwhile.
A practical tip: Do not combine different types of stripes randomly within a room. Stick to a maximum of two patterns – for example, a block stripe wallpaper for the accent wall and a solid or finely striped variant for the remaining walls. This keeps the children's room calm but still playful. Also check the lightfastness of the wallpaper, especially if the room faces south.

Always measure the wall height before purchasing and account for waste – with large patterns, this can amount to up to 15 percent of the strips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of stripe is suitable for small children's rooms?
In small rooms you should opt for medium stripes or fine, even lines. They make the room appear larger without being cluttered. Block stripes with strong contrasts, on the other hand, can overwhelm a small room – use them only as an accent on one wall. Light colors like cream, light blue, or soft green additionally enhance the spacious effect.
How do I properly apply block stripe wallpapers?
Block stripe wallpapers with a large repeat require precise alignment. Mark the first strip with a spirit level so that the stripes run vertically later. Cut the strips with a sharp knife on a clean surface – unclean edges are immediately noticeable with block stripes. Let the wallpaper rest briefly after pasting to prevent it from buckling. For wallpapers with a straight edge, the seam is particularly critical: gently press the butt edges with a seam roller.
Can I combine striped wallpapers in a children's room?
Yes, but with caution. Combine a maximum of two different stripe types – for example, a block stripe wallpaper as an accent wall and a variant with matching stripes for the remaining walls. Make sure the colors harmonize: one shade should appear in both wallpapers. Avoid mixing horizontal and vertical stripes in the same room – it looks restless. For babies and toddlers, soft, pastel tones are recommended, while older children can tolerate stronger contrasts.
What does "straight edge" mean for striped wallpapers?
Wallpapers with a straight edge have an exactly defined edge that joins the next strip without overlapping. This creates a clean, almost invisible seam – ideal for block stripes and geometric patterns. The advantage: you save time when matching, but you have to work particularly precisely when cutting. A small offset is immediately noticeable with a straight edge. For beginners, matching stripes are recommended, where minimal seam deviations are less noticeable.
