THE MAP ROOM
Welcome to the map room, where you can print the place you love.
We adore maps and understand how having just the right bay or river or mountain on the wall can mean so much to a person or a family.
We’ve searched through archives for the best vintage New Zealand maps, but there are always more places to discover - so sing out if there’s a place you can’t see and we’ll do our best to find it for you.
We can also create maps of requested areas of the country with New Zealand topo maps. This option has proved popular with families keen to explore the landscape around them and track their adventures. If this appeals to you, please reach out to see what we can create together.
All our maps come sumptuously finished and ready to hang. Choose between two fantastic modern styles - Wall Art on ACM for a satin non-reflective finish or a face-mounted acrylic print for a glossy luxurious feel.
“We couldn’t be more happy with our map from ‘a great backyard.’ Corin was so helpful in perfecting exactly what we were wanting & it continues to be observed and admired by friends & family.”
For maps intended for kitchens and bathrooms we recommend choosing acrylic. These aren’t splash backs but genuine high-quality wall decor that are certain to add sophistication to your home.
It is important to note that our maps are not designed to withstand high heat and should not be hung over a stove.

attention to detail
Our maps are printed with a 12 colour archival ink process on Kodak Professional substrate for the ultimate in colour gamut.
Incomparable style
Some providers print direct onto acrylic, a cheaper process used in sign making. Our prints have a broader colour range, finer line detail and longer lifespan.
get the best
All our prints come ready to hang, backed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) to give the print protection, rigidity and a luxurious gloss black finish on the back.
luxurious finish
Each print is supplied with a 12mm spacer board with a wire for easy hanging, or a french cleat for larger prints. These are heavy prints, designed to last yet they seem to float effortlessly off the wall!
Longevity
By printing on your map and then mounting it onto acrylic using a U.V. protected Ultra-Clear laminate, we ensure it will last long into the future.
“My map has become such a talking point I can hardly get my guests out of the bathroom!”
