Map Cushions by My Bearded Pigeon

Map cushions are the combination between two elements that apparently have nothing in common. The maps are informative but they become decorative when they are displayed in this form. With these map cushions you can fall asleep dreaming about the perfect vacation on the other side of the world or you can use them to showcase all the beautiful places you’ve already been to. Available for $ 50,81 at Etsy, the vintage map pillows are both creative and fun.

A map can also be integrated into a piece of furniture and it can become a part of its design. For example, a coffee table may feature a top that’s actually a map protected by glass or sealed with something. A vintage chair can be entirely covered in a map. A dresser can also be a more unusual representation of an actual map.

Decorate using maps

There are also all sorts of interesting designs of accessories or accent pieces for the home that features maps as a main element. For example, a pendant lamp can have a map wrapped around it and the light would make the design clear and visible. There are also table lamps that feature similar designs.
