The best recipe for personalised décor? Go for world map posters!

It’s always a good idea to make sure that your décor reflects your interests. This way, the interior will never get boring, even if it doesn’t follow current trends. One quick and easy way to make your room feel more personal is through wall decoration. You can complete your décor with a stylish poster depicting a map of a place that’s important to you. It can be the country where you live or a city where an important event occurred.

You can use world or town maps in different styles to conjure up cohesive décor. Matching decorations ensure best effects

Once you decide which place is most meaningful to you, it’s time for step two – choosing the right style. The map should ideally match or complement the décor in your interior. The poster design can be colourful, black-and-white, modern or retro. Try to find a decoration that can be seamlessly incorporated into the existing aesthetic in your room. This strategy ensures best effects.

Map for a poster – how to choose the design?

A stunningly beautiful wall decoration that has special meaning for you is always a win. We’ve prepared 4 ideas that will hopefully inspire you to choose the best poster design for your interior. Our recommendations include a map of the city where you studied and places you want to visit in the future.

• The place of your honeymoon

Wedding is one of the most important events in every bride’s and groom’s lives and the honeymoon that follows is the most special type of holiday. You can capture that once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere of love and passion in the form of a wall decoration. A poster with the city where you spent that special time will constantly bring back beautiful memories. There’s no better choice for decorating a romantic bedroom.

When it comes to style, we recommend general reference maps that depict both buildings and green areas. A pastel design of this type will look absolutely incredible on a powder pink wall. Instead of hanging the poster on a wall, you can also place it on top of a dresser or a bedside table.

• The city where you studied

A poster depicting a map of the city where you studied is another interesting decorative idea. Many people look back fondly at the time they spent in university – the time of intense studying but also of freedom and fun. A modern poster depicting a map of your university city can serve as a fantastic decoration for a living room or office. Although quite a few of these designs are black-and-white, there are also many alternative ones.

If you want to liven up minimalistic, Scandinavian or industrial décor, don’t hesitate to opt for a colourful poster in a wooden or black metal frame. One of the most popular colour schemes of the year is the combination of grey and yellow, which could also be suitable for such a map.

• Metropolises that you wish to visit

Most of us have bucket lists with places that we want to travel to. It’s often difficult to narrow such a list down to just a single destination, which is why in this case, we recommend decorating your walls with two or three city maps. City map posters go very well with decorations using similar motifs. You can use several designs to conjure up a stylish triptych or even a personalised gallery wall. The latter idea is especially worth considering if you have a lot of different cities on your travel list.

If you decide to use more than one design to decorate a room, make sure that the maps are similar in style. You could, for instance, go for elegant black-and-white designs. Even though city maps are a modern decorative theme, they also look surprisingly well in the retro style.

• World map posters for travellers

Our next decorative inspiration comes in the form of world map posters. These designs are made for people who love travelling and cannot sit still in one place for long. Regardless of whether you take trips around your home country, the continent or the entire world, every journey can be an adventure! You’ll be surprised at the sheer number of creative ways in which a map of the world can be depicted.

 
Maps make for stunning and universal poster motifs, which are sure to appeal to more than just geography lovers

Some of the more popular designs of recent years are geometric, black-and-white compositions, which depict landmasses as origami figures. For fans of minimalism, we also have maps that feature only thin outlines of continents. And if you wish to introduce a splash of colour into your interior, we recommend typographic maps of the world with colourful names of countries.

Not sure which poster to choose? A map of your city can be a meaningful and stylish decorative design!

There are hundreds of options to pick from, but we’ve decided to highlight 3 very special types of posters. Expand your horizons with a map of the world, show your patriotism with a map of your country or express your appreciation for the local beauty with a map of a city. Each of these ideas may also be suitable for different interiors.

• A close-up of your city

Although grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, we shouldn’t forget to appreciate our local towns and cities. Since our company is based in Poland, we can use maps of Polish cities as an example here. Posters depicting Warsaw, Cracow, Poznan or Wroclaw are a great choice for decorating a modern living room or a minimalistic bedroom.

Such large format art featuring a darker colour scheme in an elegant frame will become the pièce de résistance of your décor. You don’t even need to hang the poster on a wall. Place it on a shelf or even on the floor and lean it against the wall to make your room feel artistic and sophisticated. It’s also a great practical solution if you’re renting a place and don’t want to put nails in the wall.
