A custom map print turns a place that means something to you — the street you grew up on, where you got engaged, your first home together — into framed wall art. Design it online in minutes: search any address in the world, style the map, add a title and coordinates, then choose a frame and we print and hand-frame it in our UK workshop.
Below are the most popular ways people use our custom map prints, plus how to pick a style, size and frame that works on your wall.
What is a custom map print?
It's a map poster of a location you choose, drawn in a clean modern style and personalised with your own text. Unlike a stock map poster, every one is generated from the exact spot you pick — down to the house number — so no two are the same. Order it as a print on its own to fit a frame you already own, or as framed map wall art ready to hang.
Custom map print ideas
- Where you met or got engaged — mark the exact spot with a heart or pin and add the date.
- Your first home — a housewarming or new-home gift that lasts far longer than flowers.
- Wedding venue — the map of the day, with your names and the date as the title.
- Hometown or where you grew up — a heartfelt gift for parents, grandparents or anyone far from home.
- A favourite city or travel memory — the place a trip happened, framed as a keepsake.
Modern, vintage or night sky?
We make three kinds of map wall art, all personalised to a place and date:
- Modern map prints — clean, contemporary styling in your choice of colours. Start with a custom map print.
- Vintage OS map prints — genuine 1800s and 1900s Ordnance Survey maps of UK towns and cities. Browse old OS map prints.
- Star map prints — the night sky exactly as it looked on a date and place that matters. See star map prints.
Choosing a frame and size
A map poster looks best framed with a little breathing room. For larger walls, a bigger print with a mount gives a gallery feel; for a shelf or gallery wall, a smaller framed map works well grouped with photos. Every print can be ordered framed in a range of wood and metal finishes — see our picture frames — or on its own if you'd rather frame it yourself.
How to make your custom map print
Open the custom map print designer, search any address, town or city, and a live preview appears instantly. Adjust the styling, add your title and coordinates, choose a size and frame, and order. We print on heavyweight archival paper and hand-frame it in our UK studio.
