Wallpaper - All Around The World

Created by Laura Marshall, our All Around The World wallpaper presents an illustrated world map filled with hand-drawn landmarks, regional wildlife, and cultural icons across every continent. Soft pebble-grey landmasses sit against an off-white ocean background gently animated by tiny wave motifs and traditional compass detailing. From iconic architectural wonders to local wildlife, each charming ink-style vignette brings playful detail without visually overwhelming the room. Printed to your custom dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our mural wallpapers bring an engaging sense of discovery to shared family spaces and bedrooms.

In the room

Because this design functions as a complete panoramic map, we recommend giving it an uninterrupted feature wall where the global composition can unfold across the entire width. It works wonderfully across the main wall of a children’s playroom, nursery, or toddler room, where the detailed illustrations naturally invite close-up exploration. We also see this design working well in a study, home library, or dedicated teenage room, offering an artistic take on cartography that feels decorative rather than strictly academic.

To keep the lower continents and polar regions visible, consider positioning low-profile furniture along the wall, such as low storage benches or a desk, rather than tall wardrobes or high bookcases. In rooms with bright daylight, the delicate ink line work and nuanced earthy tones across the continents remain crisp and easy to distinguish.

Styling it

We suggest balancing the detailed illustrated map with clean-lined furniture in warm natural woods or soft painted finishes. Keeping larger surrounding elements relatively calm lets the intricate landmarks and animal illustrations remain the central narrative of the space.

For textiles, simple woven rugs and plain curtains in oatmeal, warm grey, or unbleached canvas complement the pale ocean background. Introducing accents in muted terracotta, mustard, or gentle sage green echoes the subtle landscape colours without adding visual clutter.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is anchored by a soft palette of pebble grey, sandy beige, and crisp off-white, enlivened by gentle accent shades of warm rust, soft ochre, muted sky blue, and forest green across the individual illustrations.

When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest painting adjacent walls and woodwork in warm off-white, chalky stone, or light pebble grey to maintain a bright, open atmosphere. For built-in shelving or decorative accents, earthy tones like warm terracotta, clay, and subdued denim blue connect naturally with the drawn details on the map.
