Map Wall Art Inspiration

April 28, 2011 by Renee Claire

I’ve posted before on certain dream house must-haves (see: bookshelves, hidden gardens). Another item for the list is “maps as wall art.” Below are some of my favorite map decor images, including one from my house. I hope these will inspire you too!

Wall Map Inspiration

Design*Sponge featured this cute D.I.Y. cork map project by Halligan Norris.

A beautiful map in Lonny Mag. The apartment belongs to designer Lynn Nigro and the map comes from Côté Jardin Antiques {via This is Glamorous}.

Wall Map Inspiration

Repro antique map of Amsterdam, from my house.

Wall Map Inspiration

Image from Steph Davlantes’ studio (I love the idea of a map collage wall, and that Oceans print is gorgeous).

Wall Map Inspiration

Design*Sponge featured photographer Jess Loraas’ place, which has this custom Paris map (print done by Rollout).

A giant reproduction antique map of Paris from Restoration Hardware.

I love this image, but can’t find the original source, even with TinEye. Please leave a comment if you know who to credit {found here, via pinterest}.

National geographic wall map

Oh Happy Day turned me on to this huge National Geographic world map, a bargain at $100. The National Geographic map store has many great choices, as well. Below is an “action shot” of the map, via Honestly, WTF.

Diy-1

A great idea from Better Homes & Gardens. I’m not sure where I found this first, but the first time I saw a credit for it was on Say Yes to Hoboken.

Mapsandboats

At $150, the Hammacher Schlemmer World’s Largest Write On World Map is another budget-friendly option. The bright colors make it popular for kids’ rooms; above, the map in a gym/office featured in New York Magazine {via swissmiss}, and on the cover of Room for Children {via Babble}.

Alice lane

A romantic image from Alice Lane (featuring their Margaret bed), photo by Nicole Hill Gerulat.

Ballard designs

Finally, a map triptych featured on Ballard Designs (product photo no longer on site).

Want more inspiration? Check out this map of Africa; these maps used as blinds; an Elle Decor map store round-up {via Babble}; this children’s map wallpaper; and this room with map-wrapped rafters.
