Wallpaper - Travel the World

Created by Laura Marshall, this illustrated world map brings the continents to life through a delicate watercolor-inspired look and soft pastel tones. Across the continents and oceans, charming drawings of native wildlife, trees, and iconic landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, and the Taj Mahal sit against a subtle grid background. The soft washes of sky blue, gentle peach, and earthy neutrals give our wallpaper a light, whimsical presence across a full wall. Produced as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a thoughtful balance of playful storytelling and gentle color.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a main feature wall in a nursery, kids' bedroom, toddler room, or playroom. Because the map contains a rich variety of small illustrations across the entire landscape, it is best suited to a relatively open wall where children can explore the different animals and continents up close. In a shared play area or home study, placing the mural behind a low bench or reading nook ensures that the polar bears in the north, sea creatures in the oceans, and wildlife across the southern continents remain clearly visible.

Styling it

To let the illustrative details stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and uncrowded. Simple light wood furniture, such as natural ash or birch cribs and low bookshelves, complements the light watercolor palette without competing with the drawings. Incorporating soft textiles in muted sky blue, off-white, or washed terracotta helps echo the tones found within the map while maintaining a calm, airy atmosphere in the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a soft palette of sky blue, pale blush, sandy beige, and gentle sage green, punctuated by fine charcoal line work. To build a harmonious palette around it, consider pairing the mural with adjacent walls in warm off-white, chalky cream, or a very pale sky blue. For trim or larger painted elements, a dusty peach, soft clay, or muted desert sand draws out the warmer continent washes beautifully.
