How to Decorate Your Living Room with a 3D Wooden World Map
Your living room is more than just a space to relax — it's the heart of your home, where your personality and style should shine. If you're looking to add warmth, texture, and conversation-starting charm, a 3D wooden world map might be exactly what you need.
Here’s how to decorate your living room using handcrafted wooden map art that turns empty walls into memory-filled masterpieces.
1. Choose the Right Size for Your Space
Wooden world maps come in various sizes, from compact 100 cm options to large-scale 250+ cm centerpieces.
🪄 Tip: For above a sofa, go with at least a 160 cm wide map to create balance.

2. Pick a Color That Matches Your Interior
Color sets the tone. Do you want contrast or harmony?
-
Brown: Best for natural, cozy rooms
-
Dark Brown: Elegant and rich — perfect for modern or minimal interiors
-
Colorful: Fun, artistic, and full of energy
🎨 Use your wooden furniture and wall tones as a guide.

3. Use Lighting to Highlight the Texture
Soft LED strip lighting or a spotlight above the map can enhance the layered texture and make your wall art glow at night. Birch wood responds beautifully to warm light.
4. Personalize Your Map with Push Pins
Make the map your own by pinning the places you've visited — or dream to go!
This is especially meaningful for couples or families who love to travel together.

5. Complement with Minimal Decor
Let the map speak. Pair it with plants, neutral furniture, or a wooden clock. Too many decorative items nearby can compete for attention — give the map some breathing room.
6. Mount It Securely and Easily
Most 3D wooden maps come with double-sided tape or mounting guides. Assembly takes around 1–2 hours and is a fun activity on its own.
📦 All Mapofx maps come with tape, instructions, and a stencil — no tools needed.
