Wallpaper - All Around The States

Created by Laura Marshall, our All Around The States wallpaper brings a charming illustrated map of the United States to life with playful regional vignettes and hand-lettered place names. Landmarks, local wildlife, and cultural icons, from the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Rushmore to roaming bison, coastal lighthouses, and desert cacti, are rendered in an inviting ink and painted illustration style. Set against soft mint green landforms and an off-white background, the earthy palette of warm terracotta, ochre, slate grey, and pine green creates a balanced composition filled with storytelling detail. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an engaging feature wall in a children's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom. Because the map contains numerous small illustrations across its entire width, giving it a wide, uninterrupted wall allows all the regional details to remain visible and easy to explore. In a family study, home library, or teenage room, the understated Americana character adds warmth and graphic interest without overwhelming the space. The soft, pale background keeps the overall feeling light, while the dispersed motifs provide plenty of visual rhythm across the surface.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the illustrated details, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with clean-lined furniture in natural light wood or painted off-white finishes. Simple shelving and lower furniture work particularly well here, as they leave the lower sections of the map unobstructed for everyday viewing.

For surrounding accents, textiles in muted earth tones like warm rust, denim blue, or olive green pick up the illustrated highlights without competing with the artwork. Keeping nearby decorative objects relatively calm and unpatterned ensures the detailed geography remains the standout element in the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines a soft off-white base and pale mint green landmasses with earthy accent tones of terracotta, warm ochre, forest green, sky blue, and charcoal grey. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm whites or gentle stone shades provide a seamless transition that matches the background. If you prefer a richer contrast on surrounding trim or cabinetry, a muted slate blue or a warm clay brown creates a grounded connection to the regional illustrations.
