Wallpaper - Travel the World

Designed by Laura Marshall, this illustrated world map wallpaper brings the continents to life through gentle watercolour tones and delicate line work. Set against a subtle grid background with soft sky blue and blush pastel washes, the design features native wildlife and world landmarks scattered across every corner of the globe. From polar bears and igloos in the Arctic to kangaroos in Australia, the Eiffel Tower, and the Taj Mahal, every detail invites curious exploration. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, creating an engaging and charming backdrop for family living spaces.

In the room

Because this is a detailed narrative map, we find it works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full panorama of the continents can unfold naturally. It makes an inspiring feature wall in a children's bedroom, playroom, toddler room, or nursery, placing educational curiosity right at eye level. In a family study or dedicated learning nook, the soft pastel palette keeps the room feeling light and calm rather than visually cluttered, allowing the charming vignettes of mountains, ocean waves, and wildlife to be enjoyed up close without overwhelming the entire space.

Styling it

To balance the intricate illustrative details across the map, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Clean-lined Scandinavian furniture in natural pale woods, such as ash or birch, complements the light, airy atmosphere of the design without competing for attention.

You can introduce gentle texture through soft cotton bedding, canvas storage bins, or a simple flatweave rug in neutral tones. Keeping large bookcases or high storage units along opposite walls ensures that the lower sections of the mural, including the oceans, penguins, and marine life, remain visible for young explorers to discover.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a serene foundation of sky blue, muted seafoam green, soft terracotta blush, and warm desert sand, all set over an off-white grid. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, woodwork, or built-in shelving, we suggest echoing these soft tones. A gentle off-white or chalky cream will keep the room bright and fresh. Alternatively, a muted pale sage or a delicate sky blue drawn from the oceans creates a cohesive, wrap-around atmosphere that ties the entire scheme together effortlessly.
