Since we painted our walls white this fall I have been working to add colorful, fun accessories to our home. I decided a big patchwork-style world map would be a perfect anchor piece for a gallery wall above the couch in the living room. Get your pen and paper because here are the complex steps:
1. Download the free Faux Pallet Art World Map Printable image.
I have scaled the image to several common sizes so you can decide how big or small you want your map to be. Mine is a 20 x 30 inch poster print. You can also get the image in 16 x 20 inch, 11 x 14 inch, and 8×10 inch versions.
2. Print the image.
This can be done at your favorite photo printing center. I usually use Costco for larger prints because you can’t beat their speed or their prices.
3. Hang the image on your wall– with or without a frame.
Above is the poster print stuck to the wall college-style {with plasti-tack}, which I would probably consider if I were putting it into one of my kids’ rooms. Or if I were still in college and renting. I like the casual look of it. I wanted to be a little “fancier” since I’m 40 and technically a grown-up, so I mod-podged my poster print onto a canvas to give it a little dimension when hanging on the wall as you can see below.
Super easy, cheesy right?!! That’s all there is to it, my friends! You have instant {faux} pallet art, folks. It looks faaabulous and you didn’t hardly have to do anything! You can see it still looks a little bare and relatively colorless here, but imagine {with the power of Photoshop} that same map surrounded by a carefully curated collection of marquee letters, clocks, and other cool pieces:
You gotta love virtual room makeovers, right? This map would work equally well in a family room or a kid’s room — anywhere you need a pop of color and whimsy.
Where will you put your Free Pallet Art World Map Print? I’d love to hear how you display and use this free printable!
