Size guide
Choosing your map size
Every map is supplied as separate wooden pieces that you arrange on the wall yourself, so the size below is the space the finished map will occupy – not a box or a frame. Measure your wall first, then leave around 20 cm of clear space on each side so the map has room to breathe.
3D wooden world maps
Layered maps: continents stand proud of the wall and cast a real shadow.
| Size | Dimensions | Weight | Wall space needed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 80 × 55 cm | 0.7 kg | ~120 × 95 cm | Desk wall, hallway, child's room |
| M | 100 × 70 cm | 1.3 kg | ~140 × 110 cm | Above a console or a desk |
| L | 150 × 105 cm | 2.9 kg | ~190 × 145 cm | Above a sofa or a double bed |
| XL | 200 × 140 cm | 4.5 kg | ~240 × 180 cm | Feature wall, office, showroom |
2D wooden world maps
Flat maps that sit close to the wall – a quieter, more minimal profile.
| Size | Dimensions | Weight | Wall space needed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 60 × 40 cm | 0.36 kg | ~100 × 80 cm | Small spaces, a first map, gifting |
| S | 80 × 55 cm | 0.9 kg | ~120 × 95 cm | Desk wall, narrow corridor |
| M | 100 × 70 cm | 1.3 kg | ~140 × 110 cm | Living room, home office |
| L | 150 × 100 cm | 2.3–2.6 kg | ~190 × 140 cm | Above a sofa, statement wall |
Note: the L size differs slightly between ranges – 2D is 150 × 100 cm, 3D is 150 × 105 cm.
Framed panels
Mounted on a solid backing panel, ready to hang. No assembly, single piece.
| Model | Size | Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| World map, Multicolor | S | 90 × 60 cm | 4.0 kg |
| World map, Multicolor | M | 110 × 80 cm | 5.0 kg |
| World map, Graphite | M | 110 × 80 cm | 5.0 kg |
| France wine map | — | 65 × 65 cm | 3.5 kg |
| Italy wine map | — | 58 × 65 cm | 3.0 kg |
Framed panels arrive assembled and are noticeably heavier than the piece-by-piece maps, since they include the backing panel.
Three steps before you order
- Measure the free wall. Width and height of the clear area, ignoring furniture that reaches less than 20 cm up the wall.
- Subtract the breathing room. Take off roughly 20 cm from each side. What remains is the largest map that will look comfortable there.
- Check the shape. All our world maps are wider than they are tall, roughly 3:2. A tall narrow wall will suit a smaller size than its height suggests.
Still unsure? Mark the outline on your wall with masking tape before ordering – it takes two minutes and settles the question.
Frequently asked
Is the size the map itself or the packaging?
The map. Boxes are much smaller, since the map ships as separate pieces.
Between two sizes – which should I take?
The larger one. The most common regret we hear is a map that looks smaller on the wall than it did in the box.
What if my wall is textured or painted?
The supplied tape holds on most smooth and lightly textured surfaces. On heavily textured walls, rough plaster or fresh paint (under three weeks old), the bond is weaker – write to us before ordering and we'll advise.
How much does it weigh on the wall?
Between 0.36 kg and 4.5 kg depending on size, spread across many separate pieces, so no single point carries much load. Framed panels are heavier and hang as one piece.
