Wallpaper - Nara Cross And Square

Created by Julia Dreams, our Nara Cross And Square wallpaper combines crisp geometric structure with the relaxed character of hand-painted ink. The repeat balances deep cobalt and navy blue motifs, including stylised crosses and diamond-like square forms, across a soft neutral cream backdrop. What we particularly appreciate about this design is how the structured grid remains visually calm thanks to its open spacing and ink-drawn softness. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this geometric design working exceptionally well in a dining room, where the rhythmic pattern brings defined architectural character without overwhelming the room. Because the motif is medium in scale and nicely spaced, it sits comfortably on a single feature wall behind a sideboard as well as across all four walls of a dining area. The crisp contrast between the rich navy and light background creates a sense of order, making it an excellent choice for holiday homes or coastal dining spaces where a clean, Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere is desired.

Styling it

To complement the graphic rhythm of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing this design with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or teak dining tables, balance the cool navy blue elements and prevent the space from feeling stark.

For soft furnishings and accents, we would introduce natural, unbleached woven textures and simple glazed white tableware to highlight the relaxed, hand-painted aesthetic. Keeping decorative clutter to a minimum allows the alternating crosses and geometric squares on the wall to serve as the main visual focal point.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich navy and cobalt blue set against a warm, neutral cream background. When planning the rest of the room, we recommend echoing these tones with soft off-white or ivory on adjacent walls, woodwork, and skirting boards. To add gentle contrast, warm natural timber tones or muted sand accents help soften the graphic clarity of the deep blue shapes.
