Maps as Art



I was just looking at the Elle Decor website and spotted a slideshow entitled 
Maps as Inexpensive Wall Art.



photo by me
I really like the idea of large wall maps as art.  I used a large world map from Ikea to fill this wall in my loft.


I used antique map prints of the Bahamas and Caribbean in a bedroom at my Bahamas house.  We call it the map room!  A map could be a great way to remember a vacation or use a world map to track places you've visited. 




Idea from Elle Decor.  Wall map reinforced by globes.















A subway map is colorful, fun, modern art.
