Wallpaper - Nara Tile

Our Nara Tile wallpaper, designed by Julia Dreams, captures the timeless ornamental beauty of traditional decorative tiles. Set against an earthy off-white backdrop, rich navy and cobalt blue acanthus flourishes fan outward in an intricate, symmetrical grid repeat. The balanced geometry and delicate botanical flourishes give the design a classic Mediterranean character with refined historical presence. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a repeating tiled geometry, it brings a structured yet decorative rhythm to interior spaces. In a kitchen, we see this working beautifully across an accent wall or framing an open dining corner, where the balanced blue and off-white repeat creates a classic, welcoming focal point. It also suits a bathroom or powder room where the visual character of historic majolica or azulejo tiling feels completely at home. The clean symmetry allows it to sit comfortably on either a focused wall or wrapped across multiple surfaces without feeling overwhelming.

Styling it

We suggest balancing the ornate blue pattern with clean, grounded interior elements. Warm wood cabinetry or dining furniture in oak or walnut complements the earthy base tone of the wallpaper, softening the contrast with the deep navy motifs. For fittings and fixtures, unlacquered brass or antique bronze hardware accentuates the Renaissance and heritage aesthetic of the tile layout. Keeping surrounding textiles simple, such as natural woven linens and plain stoneware accents, lets the intricate repeat take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep navy and vibrant cobalt blue against a muted, earthy cream background. To create a cohesive look in the surrounding space, we recommend pairing it with warm off-white or soft linen paint on adjacent walls and trim. If you want a more enveloping palette, bringing in deeper navy or slate blue on painted woodwork, kitchen islands, or vanity cabinets creates an elegant, considered tonal harmony.
