World map in the interior: main characteristics and photos

Types of maps

Any maps can be used in the interior: accurate geographical or political, fantasy, antique or super-modern – depending on the result you want to achieve.

The main rule: there should not be many other decorative elements, and they should not distract attention to themselves. Let the world map in the interior become the main component, and the surroundings become a calm background for it.

As a rule, the map itself, that is, the drawing of the earth’s surface, is placed on one of the walls, covering the remaining walls with neutral light shades, for example, beige, olive, white.

If the room is small, then the world map on the wall should not be multi-colored. It is best if the continents are designated in one tone, the water surface in another, and these tones are not too bright.

This solution will help to visually enlarge the room. Usually, such an option looks good in a room of any purpose – like a bedroom, a nursery or a living room.

Photos in the interior of rooms

Maps in the interior can be anything, for example – a map of your city or the city where you like to relax, a metro map or your region will not only decorate the interior, but can also serve their intended purpose – quickly find a particular locality or lay the necessary route.

An interesting idea is to visually divide the space using maps. For example, in the work area – wallpaper with a map or diagram, and in the bedroom – any other type of decoration.

Try to use the colors that are used in the upholstery of the furniture, in the curtains, in the decorative elements of your interior.

Living room

Those who love to travel enjoy marking on maps the places they have already visited and plotting future routes. For such people, maps in the interior have a special meaning.

If you paint the outlines of the continents on one of the walls, indicating individual cities, then you can make such marks directly on the wall. You will get an interactive map that will serve not only as a decoration, but also as a kind of informer.

Kitchen

It can be quite difficult to place a world map on the kitchen wall: usually all the space is occupied by wall cabinets and household appliances. In this case, you can use a small map in the form of a poster, or apply a drawing of a geographic map to roller blinds.

Another option is to order an apron for the work area with an image of maps.

Children’s

The most “correct” world map in the interior of a child’s room is a classic geographic one, giving an idea of the real picture of the world. After all, for a child, this is, in fact, not just a design element, but a real geography textbook. However, it can also be a map displaying the world of his favorite children’s books.

Bedroom

When decorating a bedroom, a map is usually placed on the wall adjacent to the headboard.

Study

Traditionally, the best choice is considered to be placing a world map in the interior of the study. If a separate room is not allocated for an office, the map will help to visually highlight the work area in the living room or bedroom. Here they can be hung on the wall in frames, or fixed on sheets of plywood and hung above the desk.

Bathroom

A bathroom decorated in a marine style will be successfully complemented by maps of the great geographical discoveries. Maps can be used both in decoration (wallpaper or tiles) and as decorative elements (bath curtains or posters).
