How to choose your New York star map print
Designing an impressive New York map poster is easy with our online editor. Before you create your perfect piece of wall art, there are a few things to consider.
Like any decoration, your New York star map art should complement your space and not compete or clash with your existing decor. With diverse styles, we make it easy for you to design a print that matches with any theme or color palette. From Japanese-inspired designs to classic black and white prints, matching your star map poster with your interior design is easy.
Another consideration is the size of your space. Your print should be proportionate to the surface where it will stand or hang. Choose a smaller or portrait print for narrow walls or small furniture if you opt for a standing poster. For feature walls and larger spaces, a larger landscape poster ensures your custom view of the night sky impresses.

Why I’m in love with my New York star map print
The day I moved to New York City the sky night was clear. I was impressed at how many stars I could see from my apartment window. After living in the city for a year, I designed a star map print. I chose the day I arrived. When I look at it, I remember how I challenged myself with the move. It quietly reminds me that I need to go after my dreams.
