Topographic Furniture Elements
For those who love to flip through atlases and absorb every intricate detail, a world map is a truly prized item. In fact, in some of the world maps that are used as furnishing elements, the most colorful topographical elements and specific details become part of a pattern of refined aesthetics, certainly able to give value to your home walls.
In fact, this is an extremely classic decor idea as it was already used in ancient times as a much sought after element (those who owned maps were certainly people of culture, so it also helped to validate their social status) and, therefore, if you would like to choose traditional world maps, they will easily give a sense of nostalgia and historicity to your home.
What to do when world maps are too bulky
If you don’t want the full wall effect, you can always opt for smaller maps that face out from above a table or sideboard and you can buy them at Oldmapster.com. Create a collage of several smaller maps for an elegant and decidedly original impact, perhaps mixing different textures.
If the furniture of the room where you would like to place your world maps has wooden furniture you can also opt for harmonious materials or strong contrast. For example, a map finished in metal will give a very particular industrial effect in a room with wooden furniture, while world maps cut out in wood will work exactly like a painting and contrast with a lovely black and white living room.
