Wallpaper - Map of Americas

Our Map of Americas wallpaper, designed by Yvette St. Amant, brings a classic cartographic feel to the wall with North and South America rendered in an etching-inspired style. Set against a warm, aged parchment backdrop with caramel and earthy brown tones, the continents are detailed with fine vertical line work and defined by strong black outlines. Two ornamental compass roses anchor the composition, with one resting partially behind North America and a second placed to the southwest. Printed to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a distinctive antique character.

In the room

In a home office, study, or dedicated reading room, our design works especially well as a focal wall behind a desk, armchair, or low shelving. Because the continents and compass roses form a clear, horizontal layout, we recommend placing it on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full geography and linework can be seen together. The weathered parchment tones bring warmth to quieter corners of the home, creating a considered, timeless backdrop without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

We like pairing this design with interior pieces that echo its heritage character. Warm wood furniture, such as stained desks or bookcases, sits naturally against the parchment tones, while leather seating in tan or deep brown reinforces the traditional aesthetic. To keep the focus on the cartographic detail, surrounding accents should remain relatively simple: classic desk lamps, muted brass hardware, and tailored upholstery work best.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around warm parchment, caramel, and rich earthy browns, balanced by crisp black etched outlines. Around it, we suggest working with warm off-white, muted beige, or stone tones on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer deeper contrast, dark espresso browns, charcoal, or forest green accents on furniture and textiles complement the aged parchment palette effortlessly.
