Wallpaper - Animals From Around the World Map

Our Animals From Around the World Map wallpaper, created by Kate K., brings a gentle and artistic perspective to a global map motif. Rendered with a delicate watercolour appearance, the continents are washed in soft fern green and earthy tones, populated by charming illustrated wildlife across land and sea. Whales drift through open ocean spaces while deer, bears, giraffes, and penguins settle naturally into their native habitats. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, this design features a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the illustrated details, making it a wonderfully engaging backdrop for curious minds.

In the room

Because this is an expansive world map with a wealth of smaller animal illustrations spread across every continent, we think it works best on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall. In a nursery, playroom, or child's bedroom, placing the design along the main wall allows all the regional details to remain visible and easy to explore from floor level.

The calm, muted palette also makes it a lovely choice for a study or home library, where the soft earthy tones create an inviting atmosphere without overwhelming the space. Giving the wallpaper room to breathe across a larger surface ensures the complete geography and its marine creatures at the margins are not cut short by corner walls or bulky furniture.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the intricate animal illustrations take center stage. Natural light wood furniture, such as birch or ash cots, shelving, and low toy benches, harmonises effortlessly with the earthy map tones. To complement the soft watercolour feel, you could bring in woven baskets, washed cotton bedding, or a simple unpatterned wool rug in a warm neutral or pale moss shade. Keeping larger elements unpatterned prevents visual clutter and gives the map the prominence it deserves.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a base of soft fern green, muted sage, and warm sandy browns set against a clean off-white background, with gentle grey tones grounding the polar regions. To style around it, we recommend drawing on the pale greens and gentle parchment hues found within the landmasses for adjacent painted walls or woodwork. If you want a slightly richer accent, a warm biscuit tone or a soft slate grey pulled from the polar animals creates a balanced, grounded contrast that feels cohesive and calm.
