How to Create a Gallery Wall with Map Posters

A gallery wall is one of those projects that looks effortless when it is done well and chaotic when it is not. Map posters are particularly well-suited for gallery walls because they share a visual language that creates natural harmony even when the cities and sizes vary.

Start with a Layout

The two most reliable options are the grid and the salon hang. Keep spacing at 5 to 8 cm.

Choosing Your Cities

Personal timeline, travel memories, dream destinations, family roots — the cities you pick tell a story.

Picking a Theme

Use the same theme across all pieces for visual cohesion.

Frame Selection

Keep frames identical. Thin black aluminium, natural oak, or white wood are the safest choices.

Getting the Spacing Right

Lay all framed posters on the floor first. Start hanging from the centre outward.

How Many Posters?

Start with fewer than you think. You can always add more later. Start with your first map poster.
