Wallpaper - Rainbow Map

Our Rainbow Map wallpaper presents a world map rendered with an expressive, painterly watercolour look across a crisp white background. Each continent is brought to life through rich colour gradients, moving from soft greens and oceanic teals across North and South America to deep blues in Africa, rich purples in Europe, and vivid pinks, reds, and sunny yellows spanning Asia and Australia. Fluid pigment blooms and subtle splashes give the composition a creative, freehand character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artistic focal point on any wall.

In the room

Because the map spans the full width of the composition, we like giving this design a broad, uninterrupted wall where the complete geography can be seen together. It works especially well in a home study or home library behind a desk or low shelving, where the vivid colours add visual energy without cluttering the surrounding space.

In a study, positioning the wallpaper on a main feature wall allows the white background to keep the room feeling open while the bright continents anchor the seating area. The clear contrast between the colourful pigment and the white negative space also means the design holds its clarity across longer viewing distances in larger spaces.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour details stand out, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and understated. Contemporary desks or shelving units with simple silhouettes provide a calm framework around the vibrant map.

Pairing the design with natural wood tones, such as light oak or warm birch, introduces warmth that complements both the cooler blues and the warm yellow-red gradients. For lighting, clean directional spotlights or soft diffused lamps highlight the subtle colour bleeds across each continent.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a broad spectrum of colours, including emerald greens, teal, cobalt blue, violet, rich red, and radiant yellow, all set against a clean white ground.

When choosing surrounding shades, echoing the clean white background on adjacent walls and woodwork creates a light, cohesive setting where the mural wallpapers become the primary source of colour. Alternatively, pulling a single accent from the continents, such as a deep navy or a muted ochre, onto surrounding textiles or painted woodwork creates a striking, deliberate connection with the artwork.
