Wallpaper - Scandi Map White

Our Scandi Map White wallpaper, created by Becky Thorns, presents an illustrated world map with a gentle watercolour-inspired character. The continents are rendered in soft earthy and army greens against a clean, speckled off-white backdrop, complemented by hand-lettered names for the continents, a classic compass rose, and charming landscape illustrations including mountain peaks, pine forests, and palm trees. It is a calm, Scandinavian-style design that adds a decorative and exploratory feel to a room. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a large-scale mural wallpaper, we see it working particularly well on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the entire map can be viewed without heavy interruption. In a children's bedroom, toddler room, nursery, or playroom, placing the wallpaper behind a lower bed or play table keeps the charming geographic details, mountains, and wildlife habitats within easy view.

The design also suits a home office, study, or library where a quieter, educational element adds visual interest without overwhelming the space. The pale background keeps the room feeling airy, while the muted green landmasses anchor the wall naturally.

Styling it

The understated Scandinavian look of this design pairs easily with simple, functional furnishings. We like combining it with light-toned wooden furniture, such as birch or pale ash, to echo the organic feel of the green continents and natural landscape illustrations.

To balance the illustrative detail of the map, we suggest keeping surrounding textiles calm and unpatterned. Simple cotton or linen bedding, neutral curtains, and woven storage baskets help create a grounded space that lets the wall mural remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around soft army green and earthy sage tones across the continents, supported by a speckled off-white ocean background and deep ink-blue lettering and linework. Small touches of warm desert ochre and snowy white mountain tops provide subtle contrast.

For surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend off-whites, warm creams, or gentle chalky greys that match the lightness of the background. If you prefer more colour on adjacent walls, a muted sage or soft lichen green drawn directly from the landmasses creates a cohesive, wrap-around atmosphere.
