5 Ways To Hang Your New Map
Creative Ways to Display Your Maps: Framed and Unframed Options
When it comes to decorating your home or office, the way you display your art is just as important as the art itself. Maps, especially high-quality framed world maps or framable map prints, add a sophisticated touch to any space. Whether you're looking to showcase a framed map of London or a stunning giant framed world map as a centerpiece, we’ve got you covered. Below are our favourite ways to hang your wall maps, but before you begin, make sure to properly prepare your map. Lay it flat on a clean surface and gently roll it in the opposite direction to smooth out its natural curvature. And remember—do not use an iron! (Yes, really.)
1. Framed Maps
A framed world map is the most secure and elegant option. With a world map framed print, you can prevent yellowing edges, protect the corners, and add a polished look to your space. Each framed map print is mounted on a sturdy backing board, ensuring that it stays flat, making it perfect to consult, pin to, or write on. Our world map artwork framed options are specially crafted without glass to highlight the beauty of the lithographic print. A large framed world map is not only a striking decor piece but also practical for everyday use.

2. Wooden Hanging Rails
If framing your map feels like too much of a commitment, poster hanging with wooden hanging rails is a stylish and affordable alternative. These poster hanger frames, handcrafted from oak in our studio, use discreet magnets to securely hold your world map print in place. The top rail attaches easily to the wall, while the bottom rail provides weight to keep the map hanging flat. This hanging rails method is perfect for those who enjoy switching up their decor without the permanence of a full frame. Ideal for world map posters and other framable prints, it adds a minimalist yet polished look to any room.

3. Hanging Strips
Our magnetic maps come with magnetic hanging strips that make installation a breeze. These have a sticky side that sticks to the wall and then the map sticks to the other side. They keep everything hidden and tidy.

4. Fold Over Clips
For a more DIY effect, raid the stationery drawer and see if you can find any old clips to attach to the top of the map. Depending on the size and weight of your map, you might need a few to ensure it doesn’t fall. You can either hang the clips off nails or use some blue-tac or command strips to keep them in place.
5. Wallpaper
Don’t want to drill holes in the wall but want to make a big impact? Go big and get any of our maps made into wallpaper. We can scale the design to fit your exact dimensions, whether you’re after a mural or some feature backing for a shelving unit. We print onto a high quality paper in traditional wallpaper rolls that is wipe-able and scuff-resistant.
