World Map Feature Wall

I am currently re-doing my son's room who has just turned eleven. The colours which we have chosen are black and light blue with pops of bright red. I liked white with red and blue for a boy's room but then I think if it's black and blue he might be happier with it through to his teens. I would love to do a wall like this, any ideas where I can get such a huge map, is it a wallpaper?


The only thing I could find so far is this decal which won't look as good.

  4. Sounds Great Cyma! I can't wait to see what you decide!
    Try this website for a contact (these people supply the world map wallpaper that is seen in the Flight Centre fitouts!)

    Also, I recently specified a fake grass rug for a little boy's room in a residential extension and he loves it! Plus it can be rolled up and moved away when they want too. That would go well with your green, black and white theme too. You can get less expensive versions from hardware stores.

  8. I completely understand your pain! We all dream of uncovering a gigantic vintage school map, but alas, I think all those discoveries have already been discovered!

    Best of luck on your hunt, I'm sure it will be fabulous xx

  9. I just put a map like this up in my nephew's bedroom! I think it is the same one. It comes as 8 pieces of wallpaper. I found it on the Urban Outfitter's website: www.urbanoutfitters.com
    It is called the World Map Wall Mural. It looks so great in person, you could sit in there forever and never get bored! I posted pictures of us hanging it on my blog: www.fricandfracblog.blogspot.com
    It is a fun project!

  12. If you are after a less permanent than wallpaper, I have just put up IKEA's big world map canvas in my sons' room and it looks fantastic. The wallpaper is pretty special though - I just have a wallpaper phobic husband!!!

  14. I love the map wallpaper but I ended up buying a super big laminated map that takes up the entire wall in my son's room and it looks pretty good plus I can move it if we move. Thank you so much for coming last Saturday!xxx

  15. Hi again,
    I go the map from the Map Store at Harbour Town on the Gold Coast when we were up there. It's a little speciality store just out out of the mail shopping centre xxx
