Wallpaper - Art Deco Moon Phase, Liquorice

In our Art Deco Moon Phase wallpaper in Liquorice, created by RNM Arts, a radiating fan of botanical seed pods and lunar spheres creates a striking, symmetrical composition. The design pairs deep black with off-white, textured line work that has the tactile visual character of a linocut or block print. Slender stems fan outward from a central point, crowned by circular motifs that evoke stylised poppy heads and waxing moon forms. The high contrast and rhythmic geometry give the pattern an unmistakable vintage glamour, while the stippled texture softens the lines across the wall. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper that complements detailed prints.

In the room

We love this design on a feature wall where the central radiating pattern has space to anchor the room. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully behind a headboard, framing the bed with its arched, upward movement. In a dining room or living room, positioning it along an uninterrupted wall lets the full symmetry and intricate detail show without visual disruption from tall bookcases or oversized cabinets.

Because the black background carries substantial visual depth, we find it sits best in spaces with good ambient daylight or warm layered evening lamps. In a hallway or entryway, wrapping an alcove or a single accent wall in this pattern creates an immediate, welcoming impression of character and vintage elegance.

Styling it

To balance the graphic strength of this monochrome pattern, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated:

• Pair with warm, mid-tone to dark wood furniture, such as walnut or stained oak, which softens the stark contrast between the black and cream tones.
• Bring in subtle metallic accents in aged brass or antique bronze to echo the Art Deco feel without overwhelming the space with shine.
• Choose plain, textured upholstery in neutral fabrics like bouclé or smooth wool to let the wallpaper remain the primary visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself centres on deep liquorice black and speckled off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we like pairing this wallpaper with soft chalky whites, muted greige, or warm stone tones rather than cold, stark whites. If you want to introduce colour elsewhere in the room, rich jewel tones such as deep forest green, burnt amber, or dusty ochre create a sophisticated, grounded balance against the black and white base.
