A good map is a good thing and I have found some good ones. You may have seen some of these on other interiors blogs (some of which I have linked to here) and with good reason. The strong black and white graphics look great in most interiors, particularly when arranged with a few plants as seems to be the theme in the images I have chosen here.
These maps are from a new company called Mapiful, which allows you to type in the co-ordinates, or the name, of the place you want mapped and the words of your choice and it arrives in the post a few days later.
Now these maps are all of cities, which is why I like them. The simple nature of lines means that they work better when the map is denser. So, I love Paris and Los Angeles because they work well from a distance.
Now, Mapiful got in touch with me a few weeks ago and asked me if I wanted to create a map. And I decided to do one of the tiny village we go to in Italy every year and I didn’t think it quite worked because there was an awful lot of white space. I did another one of London, but centred on the part I live in and that was better. Then I saw the city ones and decided that is the way to go.
So now I’m thinking I’d like to create a wall of cities that I have visited. It would make a great personalised wallpaper wouldn’t it? It’s the kind of thing you could do in a bathroom if you glued them all on and then varnished over the top. It would be good in a study too only I can’t do my loft as the walls are mainly exposed brick so it would be a shame to cover them up. I could start with Paris, Berlin, Reykjavik and New York…
Anyway, here is my London map. I like it more now it’s taped up on the wall, what do you think?
