It’s easy to find your prints online, but then there’s the unraveling of what to do with them. Sometimes there are so many ideas dancing around upstairs that it’s hard to land on just one. Other times, you look at cool posters and see some sort of vision, but when you make it home, your mind draws a blank. Let us help!

Here are 10 Poster Decorating Ideas:

1. The Fireplace Mantle

The fireplace mantle draws attention to its space with its natural grandeur. But there’s always that difficult time period of wondering what to put on top. Most decorations seem to small, and we rarely find the one(s) that perfectly complement the fireplace’s grandness, warmth and charm. A large, framed poster will make the fireplace and mantle the focus of the living room.

2. The Gallery Wall

The gallery wall is the Pinterest go-to, and reasonably so! Try framing (or not framing) posters of different sizes to create an asymmetrical wall piece. Practice your layout on the floor before putting up on your space.

3. The Vertical Alignment

Stack three large posters or five smaller ones on top on one another vertically. You’ll be amazed at the vertical illusion this decorative move gives.

4. The Lean

Don’t labor with the straightness of your prints nor leaving dings on the wall. Frame your prints and go with the chic and simple lean against the wall. You can do this on the bedroom dresser, a bathroom chest or a hallway entry table.

5. Low Placement

If you want to experiment with dimensions in your home, experiment with height placement! You will be surprised at how much low leaning (or hanging) art can create multiple dimensions in a room.

6. High Placement

Similar to the vertical alignment, high placement posters open up a room like you wouldn’t believe! With or without a frame, a poster above a shelving unit or even blank space gives the sense of a higher ceiling.

7. Designs

Opt for smaller prints and play around with shape designs! Try a heart (filled in or outlined) or a circle.

8. Over-sized Statement Piece

Only do this once in a room, but go for an over-sized, dramatic piece. This will draw your company’s eye and give your space a sophisticated, artistic feel.

9. Movies Before the Movie Room

Yep, before the movie room. Put up movie posters in the hallway that leads to your living room, basement, or your home theatre to give the illusion of walking through a theatre hallway and generating enthusiasm for the movie watching to come.

10. Above the Couch

Totally classic, but totally perfect for any home! Choose two or three symmetrical prints and center them midway above the couch. Looking for more to tie in? Match your throw pillows or blankets to the colors in the prints.

Cool art deserves a cool home, and assuming you’ve shopped for the posters, we already know you’ll give your prints the abode they warrant. Whatever you do, don’t make your home a poster shop. Keep it fresh, keep it funky! All poster connoisseurs have their own eye, but no matter what, Impact Poster Gallery can solve your decorating needs. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
