Beware the Moon is made up of father and daughter John and Louise Wakefield. He with 40 years design experience, she with a background in renovation and photography, and both with a history of travel and obscure interests from atomic energy, lucite guitars and microlights, to sharks, perfum-ery and herbal medicine. Once residents of the Pendle Moors (and now printing just down the hill) Beware the Moon is an expression of their creative collaboration and mutual will to produce wallpaper that pushes the industry’s boundaries and catches the imaginative eye - from intriguing motifs to unusual pigments. The brand’s foundations are in time-honored craftsmanship rather than new-fangled fad. The aim is to keep the British wallpaper trade with its feet firmly on the ground...but its head in the clouds.
Everything starts off with a traditional, non-digital approach in the studio with hand-drawings, endless cut-outs, pencils, rubbers, airbrushes and Stanley knives. The designs are then taken to the print-room drawing-board and various specialists are squeezed and pressed until techniques are perfected and delicious wallpaper emerges.
Underlying everything is an intuitive approach to the environment and local business - it’s a given that our papers are printed in England by master tradesmen using pulp from sustainable European forests - that promises to develop a strong cycle of give-and-take with the Earth through various projects and initiatives as the company grows.

We highly recommend ordering a sample before placing your order. As much as we try to ensure the accuracy of our product images, color variances from one monitor to the next do occur and the color you see on your computer screen may vary from the actual color of the product - we will not accept returns or exchanges because of color variances from your monitor to the actual product. There may be color variances from one dye lot to another, so please order all of your wallpaper at once.
Customs, Duties, and Taxes
The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to customs brokerage fees, import duties, and taxes after the shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient because we have no control over these government-imposed charges and cannot determine what they may be. Customs policies vary greatly among countries. Please contact your local customs office for information.
To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, consider the following:
- Provide us with a phone number where you can be reached by customs when your product arrives. This phone number will be listed on the commercial invoice so customs can reach you to clear your order.
- Please do not refuse a shipment or ignore requests from carriers regarding duty and/or tax liability charges. Be aware that most carriers will hold a shipment for 5 days after arrival in your country before they return it to the sender.
- We do not refund original shipping charges for goods that are refused for delivery at customs.
