Wallpaper - Planet Earth, Southern Africa And Surrounding Oceans

Our Planet Earth, Southern Africa And Surrounding Oceans wallpaper brings an awe-inspiring perspective of our home planet directly onto the wall. Centred on the southern tip of the African continent and Madagascar, this photographic satellite design captures the swirling cloud formations, deep cobalt blue oceans, and earthy terrain of southern Africa set against the quiet black backdrop of space. The rich tonal depth and large spherical scale give the composition a commanding presence in any room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

This is a design with immense visual scale, making it well suited to a dedicated feature wall where the curve of the globe and the surrounding space can unfold completely. We see this working particularly well in a home study, library, or reading room where its thoughtful, tranquil character creates an engaging focal point. Because the deep black background occupies the upper corners and lower perimeter, placing the mural on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the contrast between dark space and vivid oceanic blue to feel fully balanced. We suggest keeping tall bookcases or large wardrobes away from the central globe so the detailed cloud systems and landmass remain visible.

Styling it

Because this wall mural carries significant visual weight and contrast, we like to balance it with understated, contemporary furnishings.

• Pair the wallpaper with dark wood or matte black shelving and desks to let the deep background of space blend seamlessly into the surrounding interior.
• Choose clean-lined furniture with simple silhouettes rather than ornate pieces, ensuring the focal point remains squarely on the dramatic satellite imagery.
• Introduce tactile elements like brushed wool throws or textured natural fabrics in charcoal or deep navy to bring warmth without competing with the graphic circular form.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design is led by deep cobalt blue, pure white, deep space black, and earthy ochre tones across the southern African landscape. When decorating the surrounding space, we recommend pulling from these natural hues. Off-black or deep charcoal on adjacent walls or trim creates a continuous, enveloping feel. Alternatively, crisp white or pale stone paint lets the spherical motif stand out sharply as a striking focal point, while subtle accents in terracotta, warm tan, or brass gently echo the dry landmasses visible from orbit.
