Speaking about the latest trends, many designers use a trick spied in the artists’ studios: not hanging pictures on the walls at all. Like on the photo above the Constellation Map Poster is simply leaned against the wall, which is actually a very original idea; besides being an element with a decorative value, saves significant information about a special moment in life, since you can customize it to mark the date you want.
As an option, you can install a shelf along the wall and use it to display your posters together with various art objects and statuettes. You can group various posters together to make a gallery wall – this will create a feeling of continuity and flow.
If you prefer more traditional look use posters of the same theme and same size: they will create a feeling of harmony if hanged above a sofa or dining table. Use large sized posters for the interiors with massive furniture: small pictures will be simply lost in there.
Black and white paintings, arranged in an asymmetric order, will look good in the home office placed above the work desk. Traditionally good places for posters of small and medium sizes are above the console table, fireplace, sofa, or headboard.
You can also create a special niche with LED lighting that will draw additional attention to the posters display. Large, oversized pictures, do not like the neighborhood with furniture or other artworks and require lots of neutral space. Use the museum rules: the exhibits are placed so that the distance from the floor to the middle of the picture is 152 cm.
