Wallpaper - Scandi Map White

Our Scandi Map White wallpaper, created by Becky Thorns, reimagines the world map with a gentle, hand-painted watercolour aesthetic. Set against an off-white flecked background, the continents are illustrated in earthy sage and army greens, detailed with charming mountains, flora, handwritten continent names, and a classic navigational compass in the corner. The visual texture and soft tonal variations give the geography a calm, storybook quality that feels both educational and decorative. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper acts as an expansive panoramic map, we see it working exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the entire world can unfold without being cut off by tall wardrobes or structural breaks. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, placing the design behind a low bed, cot, or reading nook keeps the illustrated mountain peaks and continent labels at an engaging viewing level.

The soft green tones and airy white background also make it versatile for a home office, study, or library. The motif provides enough visual curiosity to inspire without overwhelming the space, bringing an artistic, grounded atmosphere across an entire accent wall. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the subtle wash of the watercolour textures across the landmasses becomes especially clear and inviting.

Styling it

To complement the earthy green palette and Scandinavian illustrative style, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture and textiles that echo its natural, understated feel.

• Pair with light wood furniture, such as natural ash, birch, or pale pine, to complement the Scandinavian aesthetic without competing with the map's delicate linework.
• Choose soft, tactile textiles like washed cotton bedding, natural wool rugs, and muted linen curtains in warm neutrals or pale stone.
• Introduce low-profile shelving or simple wall hooks placed away from the main continental clusters so the map's details remain easy to explore.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a palette of muted army green, soft sage, warm earthy tan accents on the African and Australian continents, and snowy white mountain highlights, all resting on an off-white textured ground.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from these earthy undertones. A soft chalky white or warm plaster tone on surrounding surfaces will keep the room feeling bright and cohesive. For a slightly more grounded look, a muted sage green or soft khaki on architraves and skirting boards creates a gentle framing effect around the mural.
