Wallpaper - Sea This Map Blue

Created by Daphne Brissonnet, our Sea This Map Blue wallpaper brings together a stylized world map and charming maritime illustrations over a deep navy background with a woven textile look. The continental landmasses are rendered in soft earthy cream tones, each filled with delicate botanical and patterned motifs, while the surrounding oceans are populated by whimsical sea creatures, including a spouting whale, sea turtle, octopus, seahorse, and sailing ship. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an engaging visual centrepiece that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because this is a large-scale pictorial composition, we see it working especially well across a broad, uninterrupted feature wall where the entire map can be appreciated without being broken up by tall cabinetry or large shelving units. In a children's bedroom, playroom, or toddler room, placing the design behind a low bed frame or open play area keeps the delightful sea illustrations at an eye-catching height for little explorers.

The design also carries a lovely heritage character that makes it feel right at home in a study, home office, or library. On the wall behind a desk or reading nook, the deep blue oceans set a calm, contemplative tone, while the detailed continental patterns and nautical details invite a closer look throughout the day. In a larger living room or dining area, giving the wallpaper a wide expanse of wall allows the classic map outline to anchor the entire room with a sense of adventure and vintage charm.

Styling it

The rich navy blue base and soft cream landmasses give this design a timeless quality that pairs naturally with both traditional and relaxed coastal interiors. We suggest leaning into warm, natural materials to complement the woven visual texture of the artwork.

• Combine the wallpaper with warm wood tones such as honeyed pine, natural oak, or teak furniture to balance the cool depth of the navy ocean.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, choosing chunky knit throws, off-white cotton cushions, and unbleached woven rugs that echo the earthy fill inside the continents.
• Introduce understated brass, antique gold, or bronze accents in reading lamps, picture frames, or hardware to subtly draw out the golden-toned starfish and shell motifs.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep navy blue, off-white, and warm earthy cream, accented by subtle hints of golden ochre and dusty blue in the marine details.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or skirting boards, a creamy warm white provides a gentle, low-contrast transition that mirrors the landmasses. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space in a study or snug, a rich midnight blue pulled directly from the background creates a cohesive look. For accent pieces, soft coastal blues, sand tones, and touches of mustard or terracotta work harmoniously alongside the illustrated sea life.
