Travel Wall Ideas – How to Display Travel Photos & More!
I’ve hardly done any traveling this year…so, to fill my travel void, I’ve been working on different travel wall ideas I have for our home. I’ve always wanted a large metal map to display our travel photos around and also a timezone wall. 2020 is the year I finally brought these ideas to life!
I am by no means a master DIYer or home decorator. So, these travel wall ideas are all quite simple to replicate. I hope you get a little inspiration for your own home with this post, and I’m happy to answer any questions anyone has in the comments.
Metal World Map with Photos and Lines
I have wanted a travel photo wall like this in my home for years and years! I’m so excited I was finally able to bring it to life. These are all my own travel photos with lines pointing to roughly where they were taken on this world map.
Now, some of the metal maps out there will come with everything you need to recreate this wall.
This is how I did mine:
- Purchased and hung this metal world map from Etsy
- Bought black frames from Amazon in varying sizes
- Used small black magnets and black wool yarn to create the lines
- Attached wool to back of photo frames and hung at varying distances from the map
- I put a more detailed, printable version of how I did this at the end of the post.
Timezone Wall
On the wall by the metal world map, my husband and I hung 5 clocks, with custom wooden signs under them and set them to their corresponding time zones. The cities are all cities we have lived in over the years. This is also a great idea to have in a home office!

Coordinates Sign
I have this custom coordinates sign hanging in my kitchen. I used our home coordinates and then Route32Designs (a fantastic Wisconsin-based shop) made me the fabulous sign below. Now, the one below isn’t the exact one I have, I wasn’t comfortable putting my home coordinates on the internet, but it does look just like this one!
You could use any coordinates you like too! You could use a favorite city you visited or had lived in instead.

Map Poster
A super-easy way to get some travel decor on your walls is to simply hang a map or a metal map poster. I have the metal map poster below from Displate and it is so easy to hang! You literally just peel the paper back off the magnet it comes with and stick it to your wall, then the poster sticks to the magnet – no nails required!

Oh the world map with the photos is such a clever idea! I really like how it fills up the wall, such a fun statement wall for a room! 🙂
Hubby doesn’t like gallery walls as he’s more a symmetrical type of decorator but when we had our family photoshoot earlier this year they had a big set of framed pics that met his requirements perfectly and it looks so good, it’s a real talking point in the room! 🙂
Hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas week 🙂
Oh, Lindsey, I just love this idea with the map photos especially for you who has been so many places!!! If you ever need more yarn, I’ve got you covered, LOL!!!
