Wallpaper - Burlap White

Designed by Sue Schlabach, our Burlap White world map wallpaper presents the continents in broad, painterly white silhouettes across a warm, woven burlap-look background. Subtle typography labels the landmasses, complemented by a classic compass rose and the inscription "Map of the World" in the lower corner. The contrast between the chalky white landforms and the earthy khaki ground gives this wall mural a relaxed, rustic elegance that feels grounded rather than academic. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this is a continuous world map composition, we recommend giving our design a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full scope of the continents can be seen together. It works especially well in a home office, study, or library, creating a thoughtful focal point behind a writing desk or between low bookshelves. In a living room, placing the mural behind a sofa allows the soft white continents to anchor the seating area without overwhelming the space with intricate political borders.

The calm, neutral palette also means the design settles naturally into rooms with varying daylight. In bright natural light, the detailed visual weave of the backdrop stands out clearly, while softer evening lamplight deepens the warm khaki tones, making the room feel cozy and inviting.

Styling it

The textile-inspired character of this mural pairs beautifully with classic, rustic, or colonial-inspired interior styles. We suggest pairing it with warm, natural materials to complement the woven visual texture in the artwork.

• Select furniture in medium to darker wood finishes, such as walnut or aged oak, to provide a handsome, grounded contrast against the pale map.
• Introduce soft furnishings in unbleached natural fibers, like linen drapery or a low-pile wool rug, echoing the earthy quality of the background.
• Keep wall-mounted decor minimal so the geographic forms remain unobstructed, opting for low-profile floor lamps or warm brass table lighting.

Color combinations

Our Burlap White wallpaper centers on earthy khaki, warm sand, and soft chalk white. When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim, warm off-whites, creamy linen shades, or muted biscuit tones create a seamless, harmonious wrap around the room. If you prefer more visual depth, deeper charcoal, espresso brown, or a subdued olive green on surrounding doors, cabinetry, or window frames will pick up the darker flecks within the woven background and beautifully frame the mural.
