Wallpaper - Map of Staten Island

Designed by Anton Shahrai, our Map of Staten Island wallpaper presents a clean, graphic cartography of the borough with refined line work and balanced contrast. The intricate network of streets, parkways, and coastlines unfolds in deep charcoal against soft neutral land and pale gray water, framed by clean typography at the base. What we particularly like is how the screenprint-inspired aesthetic turns urban geometry into an understated, architectural pattern across a wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a collected, graphic focal point to modern interiors.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a home office, study, or living room where you want an engaging feature wall. Because the cartographic details invite closer inspection, we would give this mural wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a desk or low credenza so the complete geography and coastal outlines remain visible. In an open-plan space or larger living room, the restrained neutral palette ensures the dense street grid feels crisp and organized rather than overwhelming.

Styling it

The minimalist aesthetic of this design pairs naturally with contemporary and mid-century modern furniture. We suggest keeping nearby furnishings relatively clean-lined so the intricate linework of the map remains the main visual pattern in the room.

• Pair with warm wood tones like walnut or white oak to bring organic warmth against the crisp urban grid.
• Incorporate matte black metal accents in lighting or shelving to echo the deep charcoal lines of the highways and typography.
• Use simple, textured upholstery in off-white or charcoal wool to complement the graphic quality of the wallpaper without adding competing motifs.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers on deep charcoal, soft smoke gray, and crisp neutral off-white. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with soft off-white or pale smoke gray tones that match the background paper. For trim or accent elements, deep charcoal or muted slate works beautifully to frame the map and tie in its strongest line work.
