Wallpaper - Travel the World

Our Travel the World wallpaper brings global geography to life through a delicate watercolor-inspired illustrated map by Laura Marshall. Set against a subtle grid background, the continents emerge in soft pastel washes of muted blush, mint, and sky blue. Charming miniature illustrations dot every region, from polar bears and igloos in the north to kangaroos, giraffes, and iconic world landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, and the Great Pyramids. Printed to order as a custom-sized wall mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical texture, this design offers a playful and engaging visual narrative that sparks curiosity across any room.

In the room

We love this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full expanse of the world map can unfold without being crowded out. In a children's bedroom, toddler room, or nursery, it works wonderfully as a feature wall behind a low bed, crib, or reading nook. Keeping low-profile furniture along the base allows younger eyes to spot the penguins in Antarctica and marine creatures swimming through the oceans. It also suits a family study or playroom, where the soft watercolor washes introduce visual interest while maintaining an airy, balanced environment that does not overpower the space.

Styling it

Because our wall murals feature a detailed visual map, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with relatively clean, understated furniture. Natural, pale woods such as blonde ash or light birch echo the airy Scandinavian aesthetic of the illustration, while painted white or soft grey storage keeps the focus on the artwork.

To complement the playful tone without adding visual clutter, choose soft woven textiles in simple solid tones rather than competing patterns. A plain wool rug in ivory or oatmeal creates a cozy foundation, while simple shelving positioned adjacent to the wallpaper wall leaves the intricate animal and landmark illustrations clearly visible.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a gentle palette of sky blue, pale mint green, dusty blush pink, and sandy ochre, grounded by fine black ink-style detailing. When selecting colors for surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from these soft pastel undertones.

A muted off-white or light chalky cream on adjacent walls creates a seamless, bright backdrop. For accent pieces, painted furniture, or curtains, soft sage green or gentle dusty rose ties directly into the continental watercolor washes, creating a cohesive, restful palette throughout the entire room.
