Connecting Style and Size
Minimalist Style:
Works best in smaller sizes (13x18 cm, 21x30 cm) with plenty of space around the poster. Choose black-and-white or geometric designs.
Abstract Art:
This style stands out in medium and large sizes (30x40 cm, 50x70 cm). Use bold colors for modern interiors.
Nature Motifs:
Suitable for all sizes. Smaller posters (13x18 cm) work well in bedrooms, while larger ones (60x90 cm) can serve as striking accents.
Vintage or Classic Style:
Works best in 30x40 cm or 40x50 cm sizes, paired with gold or rustic frames.
Combining Multiple Sizes
Gallery Wall:
Mix different sizes (13x18 cm, 21x30 cm, 30x40 cm) in a collage layout. Use matching frames for a cohesive look or varied ones for an eclectic style.
Symmetry:
Use posters of the same size (e.g., 40x50 cm) arranged in rows or grids for a formal appearance.
Focal Point:
A large poster (50x70 cm or 60x90 cm) in the center can be surrounded by smaller ones (21x30 cm or 30x40 cm) for balance.
General Rules for Placement
Height:
Hang posters so that the center is at eye level (approximately 145–150 cm from the floor).
Spacing:
Leave 5–10 cm between posters on a gallery wall for a harmonious look.
Colors:
Match poster colors with furniture or wall tones to create a harmonious space.
Lighting:
If posters have intricate details, highlight them with wall or table lamps for better visibility.
By following these guidelines, you can create a personalized and balanced look in your home while showcasing art posters in the best possible way.
