The hallway is a showstopper

How Paloma Faith is redefining a timeless interiors trend

Paloma Faith, star of The Traitors, has refreshed one of 2025’s biggest pattern trends with her stunning maximalist hallway. Her bold use of monochrome stripes offers a creative and original take on the stripes trend that has dominated interior design this year.

The singer, known for her eclectic and individual style, consistently puts her unique spin on current trends. Her hallway, featuring striking black and white horizontal stripes, has caught the attention of the Ideal Home office, who are impressed by her blend of structure and expression.

Spotlight on The Traitors and the hallway design

After Paloma’s dramatic exit from BBC’s The Traitors—killed off by Alan Carr in episode two and ending many memorable fashion moments—she shared moments from the show on Instagram. In these, her bold black and white horizontal striped hallway was visible in the background.

“I love that Paloma has chosen horizontal stripes - it’s a daring and distinctive choice,” says Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director & Colour Expert at Dulux. “Vertical stripes are often seen as the ‘safe’ option because they can make a room appear taller, but horizontal ones bring a feeling of expansiveness and calm.”

Summary

Paloma Faith’s innovative use of horizontal stripes breathes fresh energy into a classic interiors trend, combining bold design with a sense of spacious calm.
