Wallpaper - Nara Complex

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Nara Complex wallpaper brings an intricate damask repeat to life with an expressive blend of deep navy blue, warm cream, and subtle hints of soft terracotta at the heart of each medallion. The motif features ornate scrolling acanthus leaves, stylised floral flourishes, and woven-looking visual details that give the overall composition a rich, heritage-inspired presence. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between its rhythmic structure and fluid, decorative flourishes, creating a timeless architectural feel on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a refined way to introduce classic pattern into a room.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in a dedicated dining room, where the detailed repeat creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere for evening entertaining. It is equally effective across the main wall of a living room or framing an entryway, where the strong vertical cadence immediately catches the eye. Because the pattern has a dense, high-contrast structure, it sits comfortably on larger uninterrupted walls where the full rhythm of the repeating medallions can unfold naturally. In smaller spaces or compact entrance halls, using it on a single feature wall adds immediate character without overpowering the proportions of the room.

Styling it

To let the detailed damask carry the primary focus, we suggest keeping large surrounding furniture relatively understated in form. Clean-lined pieces or classic heritage shapes in warm wood tones, such as mid-tone oak or antique walnut, sit very naturally alongside the deep navy palette. We would pair the wallpaper with unpatterned upholstery in cream or neutral linen textures, allowing the graphic contrast of the wall to stand out without competing prints. For decorative hardware and lighting, muted antique brass or blackened metal accents provide a tailored finish that complements the traditional roots of the design.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper is defined by rich navy blue, an off-white cream base, and delicate terracotta and brown accents nestled within the central ornaments. Around the room, matching adjacent walls or woodwork in a soft, warm off-white creates a crisp, classic contrast that highlights the navy artwork. If you prefer a more moody and cohesive look, drawing out the dark blue onto surrounding skirting, door frames, or panelling creates an immersive feel. For smaller accents, soft terracotta, rust, or deep cobalt in cushions and ceramics pick up the finer details within the repeat.
