World and city maps made from natural wood make a top-notch wall decoration and serve as excellent gifts for travel lovers. In this post, we’ll provide expert tips on how to approach styling your walls with wooden world or city maps.
1. Evaluate the Overall Style of Your Home
If you’re planning to buy a 3D wooden world map or a wooden wall city map, start by making sure it will resonate with your overall interior design. These days, you can find wooden wall maps for all kinds of interior, including minimalistic, ultra-modern, rustic, Boho, etc. Your priority should be choosing the piece that will look stylish in your home.
2. Choose the Right Size
Opting for the right size of your wooden wall map is vital, too. The size issue is often determined by the room you want to show off your wanderlust in. Need a centerpiece for your living room or workplace? Then it shouldn’t be tiny. Sticking with one large-scale piece or creating a large gallery wall is the smartest choice.
Here are some more aspects to take into account when choosing the right size of your wooden map wall art piece:
- large pieces shouldn’t be more than ⅔ longer than your couch;
- wall art should be at least 5 inches above the edge of your furniture;
- a small wooden wall map will not fill a large space;
- take the height of your ceilings into account, making sure the piece fills the space in terms of both height and width.
3. Listen to Your Heart
Knowing wall art rules is good. Because it will give you the possibility to break them in the most stylish way possible — in order to make your own rules. Remember that art shouldn’t just fill space. Find that perfect wooden wall map that’s most appealing to your eye, let it reflect your personality, and bring the world to your doorstep.
Conclusion: Set Your Creativity Free
The beautiful thing about art is that it reflects that warm and personal story of your home. It reminds you where you’ve been, what you love, and what’s truly important. There’s really no right or wrong as long as your home makes you feel cozy and happy.
With all that said, there’s no hard and fast rule for styling your walls with wooden maps. Following expert tips is very smart. But the wisest approach is doing your homework, brushing up on your wall decor skills, expressing your unique sense of style, and enjoying the process of adding something to your home that shows off your love of travel.
