Wallpaper - Nara Gaps

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Nara Gaps wallpaper pairs a rich navy blue with a soft neutral ground in a dense, decorative ikat-inspired repeat. The motif arranges intricate diamond medallions, scrolling curves, and subtle woven-like visual textures into neat vertical bands, giving the wall a structured rhythm with classic heritage character. We especially like how the crisp contrast between deep indigo blue and pale cream gives the pattern distinct definition across the surface. Our custom mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its structured vertical repeat and balanced visual scale, we see this design working beautifully across an entire kitchen or a bright bathroom setting. The geometric cadence of the ikat stripes draws the eye upward, making it an excellent choice for rooms where you want to add a sense of height or architectural definition. In a kitchen, the pattern sits comfortably behind open shelving or above painted wainscoting, where the repetition brings lively energy without overwhelming everyday surfaces. For a downstairs cloakroom or compact bathroom, papering every wall creates an enveloping, refined space where the intricate blue linework can be appreciated up close.

Styling it

To let the blue and neutral pattern set the tone, we suggest balancing the walls with clean architectural lines and simple furnishings:

• Pair the wallpaper with crisp painted woodwork or classic cabinetry in soft off-white or deep marine blue to echo the palette.
• Introduce natural timber elements, such as mid-tone oak or warm walnut countertops and furniture, to soften the graphic contrast.
• Incorporate simple brushed brass or polished chrome hardware on cabinets and fixtures to complement the heritage feel without cluttering the visual scheme.

Colour combinations

The pattern centres on two primary shades: a deep navy blue and a warm, pale neutral backdrop. When building a palette around this wallpaper, we recommend drawing on adjacent walls in soft chalky white or muted cream to maintain an open, airy feel. For a moodier, more tailored look, selecting a matching navy for surrounding doors, skirtings, or kitchen cabinets creates a seamless transition and grounds the room. If you want to introduce subtle accent colours through accessories or adjoining spaces, gentle sand, warm beige, or dusty slate tones harmonize naturally with the existing blue motifs.
