Wallpaper - Nara Indigo Cross

Created by Julia Dreams, our Nara Indigo Cross wallpaper brings together classic decorative heritage with an ornamental tiled composition. The motif features symmetrical geometric star and cross shapes, painted in deep cobalt and indigo blues against an earthy off-white ground. Ornate flourishes and fine line detailing connect the repeated medallions, echoing the visual character of heritage ceramic tiles and traditional blue-and-white porcelain. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

The rhythmic tile-like pattern works especially well in spaces where classic patterns add architectural interest, such as a kitchen dining nook or an elegant bathroom. Because the repeat has a balanced, repeating scale, we see this design working beautifully across an accent wall or wrapping multiple walls in smaller, contained spaces. In a kitchen, positioning the wallpaper behind open shelving or alongside dining furniture allows the deep blue ornament to provide a grounding visual backdrop without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with warm, natural materials to soften the crisp contrast between the cobalt motifs and pale background. Warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or antique pine, create an inviting heritage balance alongside traditional blue-and-white motifs.

For hardware and fittings, antique brass or muted bronze accents complement the historical character of the artwork. Keeping larger surrounding elements simple, like plain linen textiles or clean ceramic dinnerware, gives the detailed cross pattern space to stand out as the primary focal point in the room.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on deep cobalt blue, dark indigo, and a warm, earthy off-white base tone.

To create a cohesive scheme, consider pulling the warm white from the background onto adjacent painted walls, cornices, and woodwork. Deeper navy or slate blues can be used on kitchen cabinetry or painted furniture to pick up the intense tones of the motif. For a fresh and natural contrast, soft olive greens or warm terracotta decorative pieces pair naturally with the Mediterranean-inspired blue palette.
