It is easy to decorate your home with posters, but the right poster can make all the difference in how a room feels and is perceived. In this blog post, we guide you through some of our good advice for choosing the perfect poster for any room in the modern home. We cover choosing the size, which type of art suits your decor, as well as choosing frames so you get exactly what you want without compromising on either quality or sustainability. Finally, we share some tips on how to combine different posters to create a balanced interior!
1. Choose art posters based on the style of your home.
When choosing a poster, you should consider the style of your home and how it will complement what you already have on the wall. If you are looking for a more playful approach to decoration (think: bright colors), choose an expressive artwork with bold lines that match the mood you want. Examples of different styles are shown below with a matching frame.

If you instead want something elegant and sophisticated without it becoming too boring, these art posters from Karla Hyman and Karolina Székely are fantastic! They are well suited for a minimalist room, where their timeless design does not clash with other posters or objects around them.

Maybe you are looking for some more abstract posters to add variety and inspire creativity in your space. Paul Klee's works are an obvious choice for those who want colors in their home without it being too much. Additionally, Lot Winther's colorful and beautiful posters can also complement many living rooms thanks to her calm motifs and colors.

Some people prefer photo art posters when decorating their homes because it gives a feeling of life and warmth. Here, Morten Nordstrøm is an excellent example of one of the artists who delivers photo art posters filled with atmosphere and beautiful moments.

It is important to remember that there is no 'right choice' when it comes to which kinds of posters fit well in your home. It is important that you consider where they will hang, what style the posters should contribute to, and which colors work best for your home. Fortunately, you can find many different posters right here! You can also try building your own poster wall with our poster wall tool here.
2. What size should your poster be
A question we often get is which size is best for the poster.
It depends a lot on what type of art poster it is, where the poster will hang in your home, and whether it should fit into an existing frame or be part of a poster wall. Should the poster hang in the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, or maybe the hallway? A good tip is to have some space around the poster so it doesn't hang right up against a door frame or something else. That way, there is also more balance. Therefore, it is also good to have the option to choose from many different sizes. With us, you can get most posters in sizes A4, A3 30x40 cm, 40x50 cm, A2, 50x70 cm, A1, 70x100 cm, and even up to 100x140 cm. You can explore all our posters here.
So should it be a poster in 30x40 cm, 50x70 cm, or something completely different?
To find the answer, you need to get the measuring tape and measure where the posters can hang. Sometimes it is better to go with two posters that are 50x70 cm than one poster in 70x100 cm if you want to fill a space. If you are unsure about which size art posters to buy, our poster wall builder is a fantastic tool to help you narrow down your choices. It is easy to see how the sizes relate to each other, and it gives an idea of how many posters in different sizes you have space for.

If you want to hang the poster in frames, make sure that the poster fits in your frame. If the art poster is for a poster wall, you should choose the size that fits best in relation to the others, so they complement each other nicely.
3. How to combine different posters to match your home decor
Decorating your home with posters can be a fun way to express your personality through your interior design, while art posters can also give the rest of your home a boost.
Think about colors, nuance, and context before making your decision. The posters should match your wall and furniture, but most of all your personality. If you need to visually see how posters work together, we highly recommend using our poster wall builder.
Once you have chosen a poster, you need to find a frame that fits the poster and the room it will be in. If you have a bright home with, for example, beige walls and wooden furniture, a oak or dark oak frame can fit well into your decor, whereas black frames go well with dark furniture. It is important here to choose a material that is durable and sustainable. We most often recommend solid wood frames because they give a natural look to the room, last longer, and come in various options such as natural oak, dark oak, and black wood.
Once this is fulfilled and done, you just need to order them, hang them on the wall, and voila: your home has received a striking interior lift! See our entire selection of quality posters here.
