Wallpaper - Around America

Created by Laura Marshall, this illustrated map wallpaper brings the geography of the United States to life with playful icons, historic landmarks, and wildlife from coast to coast. Across a soft, light backdrop, the design captures famous sights such as New York's Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Rushmore alongside charming regional details like a Nashville acoustic guitar, a Texas cowboy boot, and a Maine lobster. Rendered with an inviting ink-drawn feel and a cheerful palette of coral, soft orange, sage, and sky blue tones, it makes an engaging visual centrepiece. Printed to order, our made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface texture that gives every detail a clean, tactile presence on the wall.

In the room

Because the motif is full of lively geographical storytelling and smaller illustrative moments, we love giving this design an open, uninterrupted wall where every region can be easily explored. It works particularly well as a focal feature in a playroom, nursery, children's bedroom, or dedicated family study. Positioned along an open wall beside a low play table or reading corner, the scale allows children to spot new landmarks and animals at eye level without tall storage blocking the visual narrative.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings simple and grounded to let the detailed map remain the hero of the room. Warm, natural timber finishes such as light birch, ash, or pale pine echo the outdoorsy spirit of the design without competing with its intricate linework.

Pairing the wall with unpatterned textiles in gentle neutrals or soft woven cotton keeps the room calm and balanced. Low-profile shelving, simple painted toy boxes, and streamlined furniture ensure the overall aesthetic feels open, cheerful, and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on warm coral and pastel orange accents balanced by muted sage greens, dusty blues, soft earth tones, and warm grey shading across a crisp, pale ground. To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, consider pulling out the gentle coral or warm terracotta tones for painted accents, cushions, or small decorative pieces. For adjacent walls or woodwork, creamy warm whites, soft plaster tones, or an understated sage green will frame the map beautifully while maintaining a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
