Are you an avid traveller or someone who loves adventure? Well this season MAPS are set to be a huge interior trend across designer and high street stores as they provide a great way to introduce colour and texture into your chosen interior space. From period charts to modern mapping this style is sure to be a favourite in a wide variety of homes.
If you wish to create a stylish focal point on a statement feature wall then why not opt for some map print wallpaper or a large wall mural that will create a stylish finish within the room. For a subtle and classic look then opt for an antique or sepia coloured wallpaper featuring a repeating period map design that is elegant and sophisticated.If you prefer a more modern look then select a large wall mural featuring a simple silhouette world map outline, underground map or city map in sleek monochrome or bold and neon colour schemes that is sure to provide maximum impact on your chosen wall. For a cheaper and simpler feature then select some map print wall art that will add detail on a plain painted wall or alcove area.
Cushions are a great way to introduce a map print or pattern into your home interior and can be clashed or co-ordinated with your interior colour scheme for a striking focal point within your room. For a refined and classic look then team traditional neutral map print designs with linen and knitted cushions in soft cream, beige and mocha to create a cosy and inviting space in which to curl up and relax. A more contemporary look can be achieved by displaying a selection of monochrome or metallic print cushions featuring world map outlines or city maps and include printed cushions that correlate with the destination on the map such as the Eiffel Tower, The Statue of Liberty, Big Ben or Sydney Opera House designs.
For a burst of colour then select map print cushions featuring tropical destinations such as the Bahamas, Seychelles or Hawaii and partner with palm print, parrot and beach patterned designs for a bright and uplifting look. Complete your interior look by selecting some map print accessories and artwork that is sure to create a simple yet refined finish in your chosen interior space. Map print lampshades are a great way of adding visual detail to a side table, sideboard or bedside and come in a range of traditional and period designs to match your interior style.
Globes are also a great addition to this interior trend and look particularly stylish in a period style office, library or cosy living room interior. Instead of filling your photo frames with images from your holidays or day trips why not frame maps of destinations you have visited on your travels or places with special meaning to you and your family for a personalised touch to your chosen space. If you have a large bookcase with a mix and match of book covers and colours then why not make a feature of this area with some map print book sleeves that can be used to create a visual focal point and a universal area of print and colour that will act as an alternative to a wallpapered feature wall.
