Design Options
Every map arrives framed, with hanging hardware already fitted. You choose the frame, the stain and the text when you order — none of it costs extra.
Frame styles
Two styles, shown above on finished maps:
- Farmhouse — a weathered grey-brown wood with the grain left visible. The softer of the two, and the one most people pick for lake houses, cabins and panelled rooms.
- Black — a flat, clean black that frames the map without competing with it. Suits modern interiors and pale walls, and makes the blue water layer read strongest.
Both come in all four print sizes at the same price.
Text layout
Tell us the family name, the body of water and the year, and we set it in one of six layouts:
Pick a number when you order, or describe the wording you want and we’ll set it for you. Either way you see it on a proof before anything is cut.
The rest of the choices
- Frame sizes — 11x14, 16x20, 18x24 and 24x36. The frame adds 3.75 inches per side.
- Wood stains — Light Natural or Dark, on genuine maple.
We email a design proof within 24-36 hours (Mon-Fri). Nothing is made until you approve it, and if you don’t love the design you get a full refund.
