How to Decorate Your Home With Maps

Which is the easiest and cheapest way to adorn your walls? Consider maps. They can instantly bring the world to your home, and give you the sense of travel, plus I think maps just look great because they bring great amount of color.

I’ve rounded up 15 display ideas, from small framed maps to rolling ones from primary school and from oversized maps to a full wall map mural, to inspire you to repurpose already-owned or find vintage maps at bookshops and thrift stores and incorporate them into your wall decor.

Go Big

World map is part of any child’s room, but instead of sticking up a poster, install a full wall map mural your child can easily study and interact with, adding marks to the places he or she has visited or would like to visit in the future.

Just make sure that you are not covering the map with a bunch of furniture. If you go with a mural look, you want to make sure that people can see it and that it is a centerpiece of the room.
