Post of the Day: Posters at Home

Good day to our dear customers,

I’m sure many of you have bought posters from us. Now you’re probably wondering where to put them!

  • Where to hang them so I can wow my buddies?
  • Where to hang them so my parents won’t think I’m cluttering up space at home?
  • How many should I hang on one wall?
  • Which posters should I put up because everything is awesome!
  • I want a poster showcase, not an overloaded wall art.

Rest your weary brains and let us do the thinking for you. Today, we will share with you on where are the best places to hang your favourite posters, and how many should you hang on one wall. It all comes down to suitability. How many posters are we talking about, and what posters are suitable for which room. Below is a sample of many ways on how you can hang your posters:

The best places for poster decor are the living room, bedroom, and movie room (if you have one). Just before you curl up for the night, you can admire the collection of posters on your wall. When you have guests over at your place, they can be wowed at the poster collection that you have in the living room. You can organize a movie night, invite some friends over, prepare some snacks and drinks, and voila! Your movie room with its gadgets and vast movie collection will be in all its glory with famous celebrity, sports, and movie posters!

Your Bedroom

This is a place where you doze for the day, rest and relax in the middle, and sleep for the night. It is a place where you can get the ultimate privacy and tranquility. You can do almost anything in your room, before you sleep and after you wake up. So it’s a given that you would want to decorate it as best as you can so it will make the room look good.

Your Living Room

Unless you have designed your home to be different from others, your living room will be the first place people see when they walk in. The first thing you’ll want to hear from your guests is how beautiful your home is and be wowed by the interior decoration. The best way to elicit such positive responses is to put posters up on the wall, above your wide-screen television or the sofa! If you don’t want to draw people’s attention away from what’s on TV, you can divide the number of posters you want to hang up on either side of the living room, opposite each other. The choice is yours to make.

Your Movie Room

If you have a movie room, you definitely want to put up your favourite movie posters. Or if you have purchased posters on sports and sportsmen, you can add them to your list as well. Go with the theme of the room that you want to decorate. If your movie room is a large space, perhaps you can put both sports and movie posters up! One genre on each side of the room.

The size of your designated rooms matters between big and spacious or wide and narrow. For example, if you sleep in a big master bedroom, you don’t have to worry much on crammed walls compared to if your room is small and cramped like that in university student residences. Depending on the width and height of the wall, I’ll say 5 to 7 posters of various sizes should suffice. One large portrait-styled poster accompanied by several smaller landscape-styled posters would do the trick. If you’re in a smaller room, then 3 to 5 posters will do. Again, you can have the large sized poster followed by several smaller ones. Or you can have 3 to 5 large posters, side by side. The idea is to balance the posters out. The view would be lopsided if one “side” is too heavy.

Individual Preferences

Now what sort of individual are you? A movie buff? Celebrity stalker? Travel junkie? Sports enthusiast? Decide on a theme. It will make it easier for you to select which posters you want to put up. Think of how you want them to look on your wall. Do you like symmetrical patterns? Perhaps you prefer the alignment of your posters to be landscape or portrait. Instead of putting your posters up immediately, you could use several large pieces of paper in various sizes and tape them up temporarily, imagining what your posters would look like on the wall. Once you have made your decision, you can slowly replace each large piece of paper with your selected posters. Make sure you use hooks to hang your posters! So the next time you want a change of scenery, you can swap your current ones for new lots!

All set for the big decorating day? We say, lay out those posters and get busy. If you need more posters to add to your collection, feel free to view more at our Facebook page!
