A guide to Tides Out Map dimensions and fitting your space
Whether you’re ordering a map of a favourite beach, home coastline, or a place you’ve loved and left, choosing the right size helps your map feel at home—on your wall and in your story. Here’s a simple guide to help you find the best fit.
Our Standard Sizes
We currently offer three thoughtfully proportioned sizes, each framed and ready to hang:
-
Small – up to 40 x 40cm
A perfect size for gifts, desks, small spaces, or travel memories. -
Medium – up to 60 x 60cm
Ideal for hallways, gallery walls, or placing above a shelf or sideboard. -
Large – up to 60 x 80cm, (portrait or landscape)
A bolder presence—works well as a standalone feature in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices. - XL - up to 90 x 120cm, (portrait or landscape)
We have done bigger sizes over multiple panels, so just reach out and ask if you've got a custom wall that you are wanting.
All dimensions are for the framed map, ready to hang on delivery.
For Larger or Custom Sizes
If you're looking for something larger—or want to create a bespoke design for a special location or occasion—we also offer custom sizes. Whether it’s a panoramic stretch of coastline, a multi-layered detail of an estuary, or something entirely your own, we’d love to hear your idea.
You can learn more and submit a request on our Custom Designs page.
How to Visualise the Size
If you’re not sure which size will work best:
-
Use painter’s tape to mark out the dimensions on your wall.
-
Or place a similar-sized book or frame where you’d hang the map.
-
Consider spacing—maps look best with a little room to breathe.
Designed to Fit, Built to Last
Every Tides Out Map is crafted in New Zealand using sustainably sourced birch plywood, hand-layered and finished with low-VOC paint and wood oil. Each size is chosen to suit everyday living spaces—calm, clean, and full of coastal detail.
All frames are fitted with hanging hardware so they arrive ready to go.
