Custom Map Prints: Turn Any Place on Earth Into Personalised Wall Art
Some places just stay with you. Now you can put yours on the wall.
There's a spot somewhere in the world that means everything to you. The street where you grew up. The city where you met. The little corner of the world that's quietly yours. A custom map print turns that exact place into a beautiful piece of wall art — and at The Hue Map, we've just made it easier than ever to create your own.
Whether you want a hand-styled personalised map poster of your favourite city or a stunning custom aerial photo print of your home seen from above, this guide walks you through everything: what these prints are, why they make such meaningful gifts, and how to design one in minutes.
What Is a Custom Map Print?
A custom map print is a personalised piece of wall art built around a location that matters to you. Instead of a generic poster, you choose the exact place — an address, a city, a coastline, a country lane — and it becomes the artwork.
At The Hue Map, we offer two ways to capture a place:
Custom Map Print — an artistic, hand-styled map of any location in the world. Not cold cartographic lines, but genuinely beautiful map art in your choice of colour palettes, with your own caption and coordinates.
Custom Aerial Photo Print — real satellite photography of any spot on earth, turned into art. Your house, your street, your whole neighbourhood, captured from the sky.
Both let you turn somewhere ordinary — to everyone else — into something extraordinary to you.
Why Personalised Map Posters Make the Perfect Gift
Search for a birthday or anniversary gift and you'll find a thousand identical options. A personalised map poster is different because it can only mean something to one person. That's exactly what makes it memorable.
Here are the moments a custom map print captures beautifully:
- Where you met — that first café, that street corner, the town where it all began
- Where you got engaged — the exact spot, framed forever
- Your first home together — the address that started your story
- A childhood home — the street someone grew up on, as a nostalgic birthday gift
- A special holiday — the city that changed everything, or the beach you keep going back to
- A new baby's hometown — the place they entered the world
Because every print is made to order around a single location, no two are ever the same. It's the kind of gift people keep on the wall for years — and remember who gave it to them.
Custom Aerial Photo Prints: Your World, Seen From Above
There's something quietly magical about seeing a place you love from the sky.
A custom aerial photo print uses real satellite imagery to capture your chosen location from above — the rooftops, the streets, the fields, the coastline, exactly as they look from the air. It's a completely different feeling to a map: more personal, more surprising, and often more emotional.
Aerial photo prints are especially loved as:
- New home gifts — the house and its neighbourhood, captured the year they moved in
- Farm and property art — the whole plot of land in a single frame, a favourite among landowners
- Nostalgic keepsakes — the family home, seen the way you never usually get to see it
- Wedding venue prints — the venue and its grounds from above, a beautiful anniversary surprise
If a map is the idea of a place, an aerial photo is the reality of it — and for a lot of people, seeing home from above hits differently.
How to Create Your Own Custom Map Print
We built our map maker so you can design a gallery-worthy print in just a few minutes — and see it come to life on screen before you order. Here's how it works:
1. Enter your location
Type any place in the world — an address, a city, a landmark, a street corner. The live preview updates instantly so you can position it exactly how you want.
2. Choose your style
Pick from a range of colour palettes to match the room it's going in — soft and muted, bold and graphic, or something in between. Add a marker over the meaningful spot, choose your border, and set the level of map detail.
3. Add your caption
Give it a title, a subtitle or region, and the exact coordinates. This is where "London" becomes "Where We Met" — the personal touch that turns a map into a keepsake.
4. Pick your size and finish
Choose from sizes ranging from a desk-friendly A4 right up to a statement A0 poster. Then select your finish: a fine art print on paper, a ready-to-hang frame in metal or wood, or a gallery-wrapped canvas.
5. We make it and ship it — free
Every print is made to order and delivered with free worldwide shipping. Nothing generic, nothing mass-produced — just your place, made beautifully.
Choosing the Right Size and Frame
A few quick pointers to help you choose:
For a desk, shelf or gallery wall: A4 or A3 works beautifully as part of a cluster of smaller frames.
For a statement piece: Go large — a 50x70cm or A1 print above a sofa, bed or mantelpiece makes the location the hero of the room.
Print, frame or canvas? A print on paper is perfect if you already have a frame in mind or want to choose your own. Our ready-to-hang wood and metal frames arrive complete with hanging hardware — no trip to the framer needed. Canvas gives a soft, contemporary, borderless look that suits modern interiors.
All our frames use responsibly sourced materials and arrive ready to hang straight out of the box.
