Wallpaper - Burlap White

Designed by Sue Schlabach, our Burlap White wallpaper presents a classic world map rendered in soft white across an earthy, woven burlap-look backdrop. The visual texture mimics a coarse woven textile, giving the continents a painterly, slightly distressed presence alongside vintage-inspired typography and a detailed compass rose. The contrast between the warm khaki brown base and the chalky white landmasses creates an understated, rustic character that feels timeless rather than purely cartographic. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the map spans the entire width of the composition, we think this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full geography has space to unfold. It is particularly well suited to a study, home office, or a relaxed living room where the large visual scale adds depth without overwhelming the space. In a dedicated library or reading corner, placing the mural behind a low desk or sofa ensures that the main continental forms and typographic details remain visible across the room.

Styling it

The earthy background and weathered white motifs pair naturally with rustic, heritage, or colonial-inspired interior styles. We suggest combining this design with warm natural timber, such as antique pine, weathered oak, or mid-tone walnut furniture, which echoes the warm undertones of the woven background. To keep the focus on the graphic map, choose upholstered pieces in simple woven fabrics like off-white cotton or oatmeal wool, and keep surrounding accessories grounded with brushed bronze or matte black iron accents.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its warm khaki brown base, earthy undertones, and soft chalky white continents. When choosing surrounding wall colours, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted stone tones create a harmonious, quiet transition. For adjacent trim, cabinetry, or woodwork, deeper shades of taupe, rich espresso brown, or even deep charcoal offer a handsome, grounded contrast that complements the vintage aesthetic of the map.
