When it comes to maps, F's always had a fascination with them ever since he was small, and I like to think it runs in the family as my mum also loves pouring over map books with all their roads and squiggly lines. I think it's wonderful letting little minds get a sense of the world through beautifully designed maps, which is why F loves his
Atlas of Adventures and
Maps book, and with Paul working abroad more and more, it really helps F to feel connected to Paul when he's far away.
I've been trying to think of other ways to incorporate maps into his bedroom, and now that F is starting school in September, a little room update is certainly due. I've always loved feature walls or walls with large hanging maps, like they used to have in school classrooms, and think they can add a touch of colour and fun into space while being educational too.
I love these kids rooms from
Pinterest...
So when I found these
Wallpapers I got quite excited by all the possibilities and adding a touch of fun to our walls. There is such a huge range of colours and varieties of maps to choose from, as well as the option to create your own allowing you to have a very personalised space. I really like the Pastel world map where as Paul prefers the Vibrant World Map with Antarctica as he thinks it's more educational!
What do you think of map feature walls?

I love the idea of a map wall. I might steal this idea for F's bedroom when we come to update it next year!
