Why choose a framed canvas world map?
Paper maps curl and posters fade. A framed canvas world map is built to be pinned and added to for years. We've handcrafted ours in the USA since 2012: premium canvas and vibrant inks, a hidden wood stretcher frame, and a foamboard backing that grips every pin. Each map is then finished in a float frame and shipped ready to hang, with 150 pins and free personalization included. Mark where you've been and plan where you're going. The wall fills up faster than you'd think.
Made to take pins
Foamboard behind the canvas holds every pin firmly, and the wood stretcher frame keeps the map flat year after year.
A float frame, not a poster frame
The map sits inside the frame with a small shadow gap, so it reads as art rather than a print. Choose black, brown, natural or white, and on most designs silver or gold.
Three sizes for any wall
26 x 38 for an office or hallway, 32 x 47 above a sofa or bed, 36 x 53 for a statement wall. Your name or a favorite quote is printed on any size at no charge.
Framed canvas world map questions
What is the best world map for a wall?
It depends on whether you want to look at the map or use it. For pure decor, any canvas print will do. If you want to mark where you've been, you need a map built to take pins, which means a firm backing behind the canvas. Our framed canvas world maps are backed with foamboard for exactly that reason. The designs customers choose most often are Blue Oceans, Earth Toned and Executive World.
What size world map should I get for my wall?
Our framed canvas world maps come in three canvas sizes: 26 x 38, 32 x 47 and 36 x 53 inches. The float frame adds a bit to the outside dimensions. The 26 x 38 suits an office wall or the space above a desk or dresser. The 32 x 47 fills the wall above a sofa or bed. The 36 x 53 is the one for a large open wall. A quick check before you order: measure the wall and leave at least six inches of open space on each side of the frame.
Can you push pins into a framed canvas map?
Yes. That's what these maps are made for. The canvas is stretched over a wood frame and backed with sturdy foamboard, so pins go in cleanly and stay put. Every map ships with 150 pins in red, white and black, and you can add specialty pins from our Map Pins collection any time.
What's the difference between a framed canvas map and a gallery wrapped map?
Both start as the same printed canvas on a wood frame with a foamboard backing. A framed canvas map is then set into a float frame, which gives it a finished, gallery look with a shadow gap around the edge. A gallery wrapped world map skips the frame and wraps the canvas around the edges instead, for a cleaner modern look at a lower price. If you want something bigger still, look at our 3 panel world maps.
Do framed canvas world maps come ready to hang?
Yes. Each map arrives with sawtooth hangers attached and hanging hardware included, along with your pins. Hang it, open the pins and start with the place you were born. Shipping is free on orders over $100 in the contiguous US.
How much does a framed canvas world map cost?
Framed canvas world maps start at $289.99 for the 26 x 38 size and go up with size and frame choice. Personalization is free on every map, and the 150 pins are included. If you're choosing for a living room wall, the 32 x 47 is the size we'd pick.
