Wallpaper - Schooner Bay Map

Our Schooner Bay Map wallpaper combines classic coastal scenery with the nostalgic look of a vintage nautical chart. Created by David Carter Brown, the design brings together an oil-painted coastal landscape featuring a white lighthouse with a brick-red roof, a classic sailboat with an American flag, and a small coastal cottage nestled behind grassy dunes, all layered over a faded antique ocean map. The earthy palette balances soft ocean blues, muted beige tones, and rich brick red details to create an authentic maritime atmosphere. Produced to your exact wall measurements, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a living room, study, hallway, or a coastal holiday home where you want a sense of traditional maritime character. Because the mural combines both pictorial storytelling and detailed cartography, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the lighthouse, dunes, and sailing boat can be viewed in full. On a feature wall behind a sofa or dining table, the scenic composition anchors the space while adding warmth through its earthy red and warm beige tones. In rooms with steady natural daylight, the gentle painterly brushwork and delicate line work of the background map show their depth especially well.

Styling it

The historic New England character of our wallpaper pairs effortlessly with traditional and classic interior furnishings.

• We recommend pairing the design with warm wood tones or painted furniture in muted off-white or deep navy to ground the nautical elements.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings relatively calm in texture, allowing the detailed maritime scene and map background to remain the main visual focus.
• Classic architectural details like traditional skirting, wainscoting, or tongue-and-groove panelling below the mural create a balanced, heritage-inspired composition.

Colour combinations

The design is built around brick red, calm ocean blues, soft sandy beige, and grassy earthy greens. For adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or trim, warm stone, off-white, or muted sand create a soft and cohesive transition that mirrors the antique map background. If you prefer deeper contrast, taking inspiration from the brick red of the lighthouse roof or the rich navy tones of the sea creates a striking accent on surrounding cabinetry or doors without competing with the mural wallpaper.
