A wooden world map is not just decoration — it is the central accent of any room. The right choice transforms a blank wall into a statement. But with over 60 color options, multiple sizes, and different lighting types available, where do you start?
Step 1: Measure Your Wall
Before anything else, measure the wall where you plan to hang the map. The general rule: the map should occupy 50–70% of the wall width, or match the width of the furniture underneath it.
FACTURA size guide:
- S (90×60 cm / 35×24 in) — small bedroom, children's room, above a desk
- M (120×80 cm / 47×31 in) — universal size for a living room or office meeting room
- L (150×100 cm / 59×39 in) — accent wall in a large living room or open-plan office
- XL (200×133 cm / 79×52 in) — statement piece for a reception area or large hall
- XXL and XXXL — galleries, restaurants, corporate lobbies
Tip: tape off the dimensions on your wall before ordering. It takes two minutes and removes all guesswork about scale.
Step 2: Choose the Color
FACTURA offers 60+ color palettes, but they fall into a few clear groups:
Warm tones (Warm, Natural, Oak, Cappuccino, Nut) — pair naturally with wood furniture, brick, beige and cream walls. Perfect for Scandinavian, rustic, or classic interiors.
Cool and neutral (Urban, Dublin, Nero, Dark, Black) — designed for loft, minimalist, and contemporary styles. Work well against white or grey walls.
Light and airy (White, Light Tree, Classic) — add brightness and visual space. Ideal for smaller rooms where you do not want the map to dominate.
Patriotic (Flag, Flag 2, Blue-Yellow) — symbolic statement pieces. Especially popular for offices and public spaces.
Not sure which color suits your interior? Contact a FACTURA manager with a photo of your room — color advice is free.
Step 3: Decide on Lighting
Lighting is the single feature that separates a standard map from a premium decor piece.
No lighting — classic wooden map. Beautiful in daylight, simpler installation, lower price. Best for well-lit rooms where the natural wood texture does the work.
Warm white LED (2700–3000K) — cozy, slightly yellow light. The floating glow effect along the map contour looks stunning in the evening. Best for living rooms and bedrooms.
Neutral white LED (4000–4500K) — balanced daylight tone. Right for offices, meeting rooms, and workspaces.
Blue-yellow LED — Ukrainian flag colors. A powerful symbolic accent that reads instantly in any light condition.
RGB with remote — 16 colors and dynamic modes. Popular in gaming rooms, studios, bars, and creative spaces. Change the mood to match any occasion.
Step 4: Wood or Acrylic Base?
Wooden maps — crafted from premium birch plywood. Natural texture, warmth, classic look. Mounted flat against the wall or on standoff brackets for the floating effect.
Acrylic base maps — transparent acrylic glass allows backlighting between countries or regions. The glowing borders effect is modern and striking, especially with RGB lighting.
Maps with moss — combination of wood or acrylic with stabilized reindeer moss. Adds volume and a biophilic element. Ideal for eco-friendly and nature-inspired interiors.
Step 5: Personalization
Every FACTURA map is handmade to order, which means full customization is available:
- Engraving of a company name, logo, or personal message
- Marking specific cities or travel routes
- Removing or renaming the aggressor country
- Choice of inscription language: Ukrainian or English
A personalized map turns a beautiful object into a meaningful one — and makes it the kind of gift that stays on the wall for decades.
