Wallpaper - Across the World VI

Created by artist Sue Schlabach, our Across the World VI wallpaper presents a painterly world map with an aged, weathered visual texture. The continents are rendered in soft washes of dusty rose, warm terracotta, and muted slate green, set against a pale seafoam background with delicate cartographic grid lines. What we particularly like about this design is how the textured brushwork softens the geographical shapes, turning a traditional map into an artistic focal point. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because a world map mural relies on its full horizontal span, we would give this wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the continents have space to unfold naturally. It makes an engaging feature wall in a study, home office, or library, creating an atmosphere that feels cultured and contemplative. In a living room or bedroom, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or headboard keeps the majority of the landmasses visible while anchoring the seating or sleeping area. The understated contrast also allows it to sit comfortably across a hallway staircase or teenage bedroom without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

The soft, faded character of this map lends itself particularly well to rooms featuring classic, vintage, or heritage-inspired interior elements. We suggest pairing it with warm, natural timber furniture such as walnut or mid-toned oak, which echoes the warmth in the terracotta and rose continents. To maintain visual balance, keep larger upholstered furniture in calm, unpatterned fabrics so the detailed cartographic line work remains the central graphic interest in the room. Brushed brass or muted bronze accents on lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware complement the historical look of the print.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features an evocative palette of dusty rose, soft terracotta, sage green, and pale slate blue against an antique off-white background. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pulling the pale seafoam or warm cream tone onto adjacent painted walls, which lets the mural blend naturally into the architecture. For trim, skirting boards, or built-in joinery, a deeper slate green or earthy terracotta creates a confident, tailored frame that pulls out the richer pigments in the map.
