Geographical maps in the interior can be looked at endlessly. World maps not only give aesthetic pleasure from contemplation, but also create a light atmosphere of romance and adventure, evoke pleasant thoughts about distant countries and memories of your trips. We suggest looking at how you can use world maps in the interior of your home.
1. Geographical maps in the interior as wallpaper
The geographical map on the wall will becomethe central decorative element of the room's interior. Today we will not consider the standard option of placing a small world map on the wall in a frame or simply pinned with buttons. But if you have a large geographic map, you can completely cover the wall with it. In addition, now you can buy or order photo wallpaper with an image of your choice or vinyl decorative wall stickers. Maps in the interior can be modern, vintage navigational or abstract stylized. It can be a map of the world, a part of the world, a country, a city or a metro map. Most often, the walls of the bedroom are decorated with an image of a world map, but you can decorate the walls in this way in any room - a bathroom, a nursery, a living room or a kitchen. You can use different children's wall stickers with a similar theme.
A very interesting option for a child's room. Climbing holds are fixed to the wall with a geographic map, and soft mats are underneath them.
Pay attention to the map - it is made in the fantasy style and also "upside down". Instead of continents there are oceans, and in place of water spaces there are kingdoms.
For interiors in modern styles such as Art Nouveau and Hi-Tech, stylized images of continents in the form of dots, lines, letters and other artistic techniques are suitable.
2. Geographical maps in the interior design of the floor and ceiling

You should not turn the entire room into a world map. If you decide to decorate the floor with maps, you do not need to decorate the walls and ceiling with them, it is enough to support the general theme with small world maps in frames on the wall or in accessories.
Although here is an interesting solution, when photo wallpaper with the image of a geographic map smoothly moves to the ceiling. But in this case, in order not to overdo it, there are no more objects with maps in the room.
