Maps provide such fun color and are being used as art all over the design world right now. It’s not a brand new thing, but is a trend worth highlighting! Let’s look at different ways people are using maps in their room designs. (Each image is linked to where I found it at.)
I’m crushing on these.
Are you on board with this trend?
Oh yes I love maps. I have a large one in the living room.

And more I ‘d love to find a place for. There are all kinds of fun things you can do with them for sure.
I love maps, too. I think it is best when it’s used as a large wallpaper/ backdrop for walls. It creates such a big impact.
Adore your inspirational pictures, too. Great blog, a new follower!

I bought a map last week at Paper Source for CHEAP that I plan on framing and putting in the hubby’s man room. He LOVES maps, globes, etc. I think it works great for “art”.
I love all of those examples! What a great way to look add character to a space. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness, I love the map HOME so much! So cute. I want to mod podge a map onto my coffee table. Any tips on where to find good maps? Michael’s was a bust.
I love maps for decor. I am so bummed, there used to be a wooden map of the USA Restoration Hardware sold and they don’t have it anymore **tear**
Have a good weekend!
There is one in ballard designs I want so badly right now…
LOL I know all these pictures from your Pinterest. You pin the best stuff. And I love them all. I so want to put maps on these two old school desk/chairs I have for my new grandson…but I guess that project can wait since he is only 2 weeks old lol
Love map art, and love all these pics. I’m so on board with this I’ve used some myself:

I’m liking maps lately too. I have a globe collection started in my office so I’m debating if a map in the room would put it over the top or tie everything in. Time will tell.
I love framed maps! These are great ways that maps are used in home decor.
Such a great way to add color and interest into a room. LOVE the room with the paris wall map…
Maps are cool inside the home…
they have this whimsy and traditional feel within.
Love your map inspirations.
I have used maps on top of furniture pieces I have painted. Declopoged(don’t think that is spelled right) I could send pic through email.
