Wallpaper - Around America

Our Around America wallpaper, created by Laura Marshall, brings the United States to life through charming hand-drawn illustrations and warm pastel tones. Across an expansive map layout, iconic landmarks, regional wildlife, and cultural motifs tell a vibrant story from coast to coast. You will spot Seattle's Space Needle, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, and the St. Louis Gateway Arch alongside playful details like a Texas cowboy boot, a Nashville acoustic guitar, and wildlife including bison, bears, and moose. Rendered in cheerful coral, warm terracotta, soft grey, and gentle green against a clean, light backdrop, this made-to-measure, PVC-free design turns an entire wall into an engaging visual journey.

In the room

We see this illustrated map working especially well in a playroom, children's bedroom, teenage room, or a dedicated home study. Because the composition contains a high density of fine graphic details and labelled cities, it benefits greatly from a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the entire geographical spread can be explored at eye level. Placing the wallpaper behind a low desk, bed frame, or open play area ensures that lower-positioned vignettes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and coastal details, remain fully visible. In rooms with ample natural light, the subtle contrasts between the coral accents, soft ocean blues, and warm earth tones remain crisp and clear.

Styling it

To balance the lively character of our mural wallpapers, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and understated. Simple wooden pieces in pale birch, light ash, or painted white timber allow the detailed illustrations to remain the central focus without visual clutter.

A plain woven rug in a neutral cream or soft oatmeal texture anchors the space comfortably underfoot. For larger textiles such as bedding or window curtains, choose solid linen or cotton weaves that draw from the design's quieter background tones rather than introducing competing graphic patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette centres on warm pastel orange, coral, soft sage greens, weathered slate greys, and gentle earth tones set against an off-white field. When selecting paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, consider these complementary directions:

• Soft chalky whites and warm neutrals that echo the light backdrop and give the room an open, airy feel.
• Muted coral or terracotta accents drawn directly from the banner and southwestern motifs to add warmth to painted shelving or trim.
• Gentle sage green or pale denim blue to pick up the pine trees and coastal waterways, offering a quiet, balanced contrast.
