Wallpaper - Scandi Map Blue

Our Scandi Map Blue wallpaper, designed by Becky Thorns, presents an illustrated world map set against a rich steel blue ocean with subtle grid lines. Each continent is rendered in soft, earthy off-white tones and labelled in graceful hand-lettered script, accented by charming vignettes of regional flora, mountains, and landscapes. A classic compass rose anchors the lower corner, while gentle clouds drift across the sea to give the composition a dreamy, storybook quality. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm sense of adventure to any wall.

In the room

Because this is an expansive world map mural, we find it works best when given a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the continents and geographical details can be explored without heavy disruption. It makes a wonderful backdrop in a child’s bedroom, toddler room, or playroom, where the playful illustrations invite curiosity and storytelling. The sophisticated palette also allows it to transition effortlessly into a home office, study, or library. We suggest placing lower furniture, such as a desk, low shelving unit, or child’s cot, against the wall so the continental details higher up remain clear and easy to enjoy.

Styling it

The balanced mix of cool steel blue and soft earth tones gives this design great versatility across modern and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.

• Pair with light or mid-tone wood furniture to complement the warmth within the landmasses and botanical illustrations.
• Introduce soft neutral textiles, such as unbleached cotton or gentle wool rugs, to echo the muted ivory tones of the continents without competing with the map.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent surfaces minimal and clean-lined so the detailed mural remains the visual centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a deep steel blue ocean, balanced by soft warm white and ivory continents with accents of sage green, sandy beige, and terracotta in the landscape details. On adjacent walls and woodwork, we love pairing this wallpaper with soft off-whites, warm chalky neutrals, or muted pebble greys to keep the space bright and airy. If you want a more cocooning look in a study or reading nook, pulling the deep blue from the oceans onto adjoining painted walls creates a cohesive, immersive feel.
