Wallpaper - Map of Stockholm

Our Map of Stockholm wallpaper presents a graphic cartographic study of the Swedish capital, tracing waterways, islands, and intricate street grids in fine detail. Rendered in a deep navy blue with contrasting grey water bodies and crisp line work, the screenprint-inspired design balances geographic accuracy with clean visual structure. The expansive scale makes it an engaging focal point, whether you are tracing familiar neighbourhoods or appreciating the overall network of islands and bridges. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a thoughtful, graphic presence to your space.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a home office, study, or living room where a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full expanse of the city map to unfold. Because the street network contains fine, intricate details, placing the wallpaper behind a desk or low credenza keeps the central waterways and dense urban core fully visible. In a study or library setting, the dark navy background creates an intimate, focused environment across an accent wall, while in a spacious living room, it anchors the seating area with a sophisticated graphic backdrop.

Styling it

The clean cartographic lines and deep navy palette pair naturally with contemporary and mid-century modern furniture. We would keep the surrounding pieces relatively grounded, choosing furniture with clean profiles so the detailed map remains the central feature.

Warm wood tones such as walnut or natural oak bring a balanced organic warmth against the cool navy and grey tones. For lighting, focused directional task lamps or warm ambient fixtures highlight the crisp white line work and add depth to the deep blue background during the evening.

Colour combinations

The design is built around deep navy blue, soft neutral grey for the waterways, and crisp white for the roads and thoroughfares. To complement these shades, consider pairing the wallpaper with adjacent walls in muted off-white, soft pebble grey, or a rich deep navy that extends the mood of the pattern. Muted ochre, cognac leather, or deep forest green accents in surrounding furniture and textiles offer a warm, natural counterpoint to the monochromatic map.
