Decorating a room with posters is back in fashion. With a poster not only do you create a nice atmosphere, they’re also ideal for reflecting personal interests. Your favorite car, a motivational quote and even your favorite holiday destination can reveal a lot. It provides an extra warm feeling of home and gives the impression that a lot of thought has gone into the furnishings and accessories. But how do you choose a poster and can you hang several posters in a room?
Choose your own style
If you want to hang several posters next to each other, choose posters with the same dominant (colors); this makes things look calm and organized. Make sure the posters are fairly similar in style. Posters are of course available in various sizes. A standard 61x91,5 cm poster is a very common format. But 61x91,5 cm, 40x40 cm or 100x50 cm posters are also very popular. For a playful effect, you can choose posters in different sizes. For more balance, choose a poster in the same format.
Posters for a nursery or teenager's room
You can brighten up a teenager’s room very effectively by hanging one or more posters of, for example, your son or daughter's favorite singer, favorite series, actor or cartoon. How about an Avengers Poster with Captain America and Spiderman on it? Or a vintage-style Harry Potter poster? Posters of games such as Fortnite, The Legend of Zelda and BT21 are also very popular!
Posters for a man cave
A man cave can be an attic room, garage or garden shed. A room every man is entitled to! You can set up a man cave in different ways. Install a pool table, a pub bar, PlayStation, your own mini-gym… whatever your passion is… It’s a space where a man can completely withdraw for a while. The common dilemma when it comes to setting up a man cave is: what to do with the walls? Have you ever thought of a beautiful art print or a poster? Give the room more personality and atmosphere with a cool poster of your favorite artist, film, athlete or game. How about a James Bond, Pulp Fiction, Muhammad Ali poster or a nice poster of the film classic The Godfather. Do you want a rather more streamlined interior? For example, choose a black and white poster.
However, a man cave should not be without female beauty… opt for a sexy and stylish poster of Marilyn Monroe.
Posters for your bedroom
Maybe you think it's a crazy idea or it’s not even occurred to you... but you can also hang a poster in your bedroom. Whether it be a nursery, guest room or the master bedroom, there’s a poster to fit every room. You can make it as crazy as you want.... do you want an oasis of peace and relaxation in your bedroom? Then choose, for example, a soothing nature poster.
Tip: you can also frame a poster with a nice frame for a chic look. Do you have a student room that you want to make a bit more personal and cosy?
What’s the best way to hang my poster?
There are many options for hanging a poster. With a poster strip hanging system, your poster always hangs flush with the wall and comes into its own. What’s more, using a poster strip is a piece of cake. There are hanging systems with an eye and a hole. For poster strips with an eye, you pull a thin string or nylon thread through the eyes and hang it on a nail or screw. The bottom poster strip provides weight, so that the poster hangs flush with the wall. The string you use to hang the poster will then be visible. If you want a slightly cleaner look, choose a poster strip with a hole. The top poster strip has one hole at the back so that you can hang it on a nail/screw. This means you don't need string and your poster hangs flush with the wall.
Or how about a pin board or wire rack? The advantage of these is that you can hang several posters next to each other and if you get tired of your posters, you can replace them more easily.
Do you want to avoid holes in the wall? For a playful effect, you can stick a poster on the wall or on your wardrobe with double-sided tape or washi tape. This also makes it easier to change posters!
Frame a poster
Make your poster a real eye-catcher by framing it in a strong or a classic photo frame. You can frame any poster…anything from a nice quote to your favorite game. And how about a black and white James Bond and Marilyn Monroe poster in a nice black frame next to each other on your wall? You can also turn a boring wall in the living room or kitchen into a beautiful gallery wall by using different sizes of posters and photo frames. Also make sure that the colors match or that you have a clear theme.
Give a poster as a gift
You probably know the feeling... it's another birthday and you’ve no idea what to give the birthday girl or boy as a gift this year. You’re lacking in inspiration or haven’t had time to buy a gift yet. Have you ever thought of giving a poster as a gift? A poster is an ideal gift for a birthday or other special occasion. How original or personal do you want it to be?
As you’ve seen above, you can go do all sorts of things with a poster. You can hang them in any room… even a framed poster with an amusing quote in your toilet can be very nice. Posters are available in many sizes, themes and styles. You can also give a poster as a gift… very original!
Hanging the poster is also very easy… with double-sided tape, washi tape or on a nail or screw. When choosing a poster, the most important thing is that you choose one that suits you best!
