Wallpaper - Travel the World

Designed by Laura Marshall, this world map wallpaper brings the globe to life with a gentle watercolour-inspired finish and delicate pastel shades. Set against a subtle grid background with sky blue washes, soft blush tones, and muted earth colours, each continent is populated with charming wildlife and architectural landmarks. From polar bears and igloos in the Arctic to the Pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, and kangaroos in Australia, the composition balances educational exploration with a light, playful hand. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design turns any blank space into a captivating visual discovery.

In the room

We find this mural wallpaper works especially well on a wide, prominent accent wall in a nursery, children's bedroom, toddler room, playroom, or study. Because the map contains so many intricate illustrations, from swimming marine life in the oceans to mountains and native animals across each continent, it thrives where the full panoramic layout can be viewed without being heavily blocked by high furniture. In a study or playroom, positioning the design alongside low shelving, a child-height desk, or a cot allows the rich details to remain easily visible and engaging from floor to ceiling.

Styling it

To keep the visual focus on the map's delicate story, we recommend balancing the wall with calm, unpatterned elements throughout the rest of the space. Light natural wood furniture, such as pale birch or ash, pairs naturally with the airy, Scandinavian-inspired look of the artwork. Simple plain textiles in soft off-white, oat, or muted dusty blue complement the watercolour palette without competing with the detailed illustrations. Keeping larger pieces minimal and grounded lets the playful character of the wall murals lead the atmosphere of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a subtle palette of sky blue, pale blush pink, soft sage greens, warm sandy ochres, and cool greys over an off-white grid background. When selecting colours for surrounding painted walls, skirting boards, or built-in joinery, warm chalky whites and soft ecru create a seamless, harmonious boundary. If you prefer introducing accent colour into adjacent walls or storage, pull directly from the design with a muted sea glass green or a subtle powdery blue to mirror the ocean washes.
