World map wall decor is a timeless solution for every room and home and at the end of 2020 is even more topical. It’s true that we experience all these lockdowns and travel restrictions due to covid-19 and this situation makes us reconsider the worth of traveling. Who doesn’t feel nostalgic for the past trips, even the shorter ones? And, who doesn’t make new traveling plans while waiting for the next day after the pandemic?

Here, in my town, we have already reached the fifth week of lockdown. And, in these days of isolation and social distancing that we live in, the favorite tv show of my 9-year-old son isn’t some kid’s TV show or cartoon animation series, but a TV travel program and a Youtube travel channel. He talks all day about the new places that he sees and he is continually renewing his travel list for our next vacation. That’s why the selection of a world map print for my son’s room was my first and only choice for this period.

At other times, I would also search for space or scientific designs because he also loves reading about them and there are endless designs to decorate the kid’s room walls. But world maps are ideal from nurseries to teenager’s rooms not only because they create stunning, timeless decor and they also have an educational point, especially for our younger sweeties.

Choosing the right world map wall decor for your space

Ideally, I would choose to apply wallpaper or a wall mural on the whole wall behind the bed. The result would be absolutely impressive. And, I definitely recommend it if the surface of your walls is smooth. But, in our home, the quality of the specific wall and its rough surface would put the result in danger.

That’s why I left the wallpaper choice on the side and I decided to choose a big canvas. The advantage of a canvas print, especially when it covers a large amount of the wall’s surface, is that gives a similar impression of the textured warmth but it is less committed.

As for the design, I selected a classic world map with a neutral palette because my son’s room has minimal, Scandinavian style, and walls painted with geometric motifs. Photowall has thousands of designs. And, with its easy-to-navigate site and filters, I easily ended up deciding among 5 designs, and then the selection was easy. Do you ever scroll in shops with endless products and couldn’t find what to choose? Not in this case.

Order world map canvas print from Photowall

After deciding my preferred design in a canvas print, I was excited to discover that Photowall canvas print is delivered unmounted. There was a video tutorial with really easy assembly instructions. And, the frame would arrive with everything needed for assembly, including a mounting hanger. So, I consider it safer to receive it in this way. The only thing I had to do was to choose the edge of the frame, white, or black, or the same motif. I selected the motif on edge.

In six hours approximately, I received an email that my order was already dispatched and on its way. Maybe the fastest dispatch email I have ever received in an online order. And, late in the evening of the same day, I received a message from the shipping company with the estimated delivery date. But, again I was surprised to receive it two days earlier which was very fast considering the delays due to Covid-19.

Assemble world map canvas print

The canvas print rolled in tissue paper, and the frame inside the box was well protected. All came safe and sound with everything needed. Moreover, the cardboard box was made of recycled materials. And, this is another advantage for appreciating Photowall as they have an environmental policy.

With the instructions and the tutorial video, we assemble the canvas print in a few minutes. My son was very happy and really excited to participate in the process. We only listened to “wow” and “that’s so cool”. And when we finished, the result was stunning. The quality of the print is excellent and the canvas is stretched perfectly. No one would believe that we set up it alone so easily. Moreover, with the Photowall hanging solution, we installed canvas print safely to the wall in a minute. We just measured the distances in order to be centered and made the hole with a drill.

There’s no better way to enjoy winter days at home by creating a comfy reading nook with beautiful wall decor. And, spend your time there creatively! This classic world map from Photowall with the beautiful neutral palette definitely made the difference in my son’s room decoration. The canvas print transformed his bed’s wall into a sophisticated reading corner.
