Wallpaper - Map of Staten Island

Our Map of Staten Island wallpaper presents a crisp, contemporary cartographic illustration of the New York borough created by Anton Shahrai. Rendered in a refined monochrome palette of smoke grey, charcoal linework, and soft off-white, the design captures the intricate street grids, waterways, and connecting bridges in clean graphic detail. A bold typographic title anchors the bottom of the composition, giving it the visual character of a modern screenprinted city print. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a collected architectural feel to any feature wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a home office, study, or living room where graphic detail can be appreciated up close. Because the street network contains fine line work balanced by open water areas in smooth grey tones, the motif benefits from an uninterrupted wall where the full layout has room to read clearly. In a study or behind a desk, the cartographic composition creates an engaging focal point without overwhelming the space, while in a living room it sits comfortably on a primary wall behind a low sofa.

Styling it

The minimalist line work pairs naturally with contemporary and mid-century modern interiors. We would balance the graphic precision of the map with warm, tactile materials to keep the room feeling inviting.

• Pair with warm natural timber furniture, such as oak or walnut, to soften the cool smoke grey and charcoal tones of the print.
• Choose low-profile furniture along the wallpapered wall so the typographic base and lower waterways remain fully visible.
• Add textured upholstery like bouclé, wool, or soft linen in warm off-white or muted oatmeal to echo the lighter ground tones of the design.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on pale smoke grey water bodies, dark charcoal and black transit lines, and clean off-white landmasses. To complement this restrained monochrome scheme, we suggest pairing it with warm neutral wall paints on adjoining surfaces, such as soft chalky whites, light pebble greys, or muted stone. For accent colours, deep forest greens, navy textiles, or warm cognac leather provide rich contrast without fighting the clean neutrality of the map.
