Wallpaper - Nara Backwards

Our Nara Backwards wallpaper by Julia Dreams brings together rhythmic geometric structure and delicate block-print-inspired detailing. The design features stylised deep navy blue bird and star shapes arranged in a symmetrical, kaleidoscopic repeat across a warm neutral backdrop. Symmetrical diamond and circular arrangements give the pattern an orderly, architectural presence, while the subtle tonal variations within the blue motifs soften the overall effect. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this wallpaper paper has a subtle physical structure that adds depth to the refined motif.

In the room

With its balanced repeat and crisp contrast, our wallpaper works exceptionally well in dining rooms and living rooms where its geometric clarity can anchor the space. In a dining area, we would place this design across a main feature wall or behind a sideboard, allowing the interlocking motifs to create an elegant backdrop for shared meals. In a living room, the symmetrical pattern brings visual structure to seating zones, working naturally on a wider uninterrupted wall behind a sofa. Because the repeat is rhythmic and steady, it feels composed without overwhelming the room, creating an artistic yet peaceful atmosphere in spaces designed for relaxing or entertaining.

Styling it

We like pairing this heritage-inspired design with classic, understated furniture that lets the graphic tile-like repeat remain the focal point. Pieces in warm natural timber or painted finishes sit comfortably against the neutral ground, while clean-lined upholstery keeps the look contemporary.

To complement the rich navy tones, consider subtle accents in unlacquered brass or bronze, which pick up on the classic, Regency-influenced character of the pattern. Keeping surrounding decorative elements relatively restrained helps the kaleidoscopic rhythm of the motif feel intentional and balanced.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a deep navy blue set against a soft, warm neutral beige. When choosing surrounding colours, soft off-whites and pale creams work harmoniously on adjoining walls, woodwork, and ceilings, echoing the pale backdrop. To create a more dramatic interior, deep inky blues or slate tones on surrounding panelling or cabinetry draw directly from the pattern's main motif, creating a cohesive, enveloping feel throughout the room.
