Topos: the topic of conversation

Lately my clients have been moving inland with their wallpaper mural desires.  Our latest example of this is Rachael Lewis who lives in upper state New York, near Syracuse.  Her area of interest is located in a topographical map called the Marcellus Quadrangle.  Rachael wanted her powder room to display the area in a topographical map of her home town and surrounding area.

What you see is just that - but in a historical topo context. In other words, the topo is presented as a bit of a historical look, using the appearance of an older topo, but having it up to date.  

The historical look has more of a green tint to it than later topos show, but that is precisely the look she needed for her powder room.

In the last couple of months, we have had five clients wanting topographical murals. I'm suspecting that this could be an emerging trend.

Do you have an area that might look great with a topo map?  Give us a call at (801) 989-8083 and we'll explore the possibilities with you.

We are still called Nautical Chart Wallpaper, but topos still fit into our original concept as they are conversation starters much like nautical charts are.

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
