Wallpaper - Nara Man In The Moon

Our Nara Man In The Moon wallpaper, created by Julia Dreams, brings a classic ceramic tile character into the room through rhythmic geometric forms and painted cobalt blue tones. The design features stylised crescent shapes, floral cross motifs and delicate ornamental connectors set against a soft off-white backdrop. Rich watercolour-like variation within the blue fills gives the repeating tile structure a lively, artisanal quality rather than a rigid grid. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

The balanced tile repeat makes this wallpaper particularly well suited to rooms where you want a structured, heritage-inspired feel without overwhelming the space. In a kitchen, we love using it along an open wall around a dining nook or breakfast table, where the crisp contrast between cobalt blue and creamy white adds instant personality. It also works beautifully in a bathroom, bringing the decorative charm of Mediterranean or Portuguese azulejo tiling to the upper walls above painted panelling. Because the repeat is rhythmic and modular, it sits comfortably on both smaller feature walls and across continuous wall surfaces in compact rooms.

Styling it

To complement the rich cobalt motif, we suggest pairing this design with simple, grounded furnishings that let the pattern take centre stage. Natural warm wood furniture, such as a rustic dining table or classic bentwood chairs, softens the contrast and enhances the Mediterranean feel.

For accents and fixtures, aged brass or unlacquered metal hardware adds a quiet heritage touch that resonates with the historic tile aesthetic. Keeping larger textiles plain, in undyed linen or crisp cotton, helps maintain a clean, considered balance throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a two-tone palette of deep cobalt blue, ink-like tonal blues, and a soft, warm off-white ground. When choosing paint for surrounding surfaces, matching the creamy white base on adjacent walls or painted trim keeps the room light and cohesive. Deep navy or midnight blue can be drawn from the motif to ground lower woodwork, cabinetry, or window frames. For a subtle contrast, warm terracotta, soft sand, or muted mustard yellow in decorative objects work exceptionally well alongside the dominant blue.
