Learn how to create the perfect poster wall by following this guide!
How to choose the perfect color combination for your picture wall
The foundation of any good design is mixing the right colors together. The right color choice is crucial for whether your picture wall looks lively or dull. At Peléton, you can get posters in different colors, so you can freely choose what suits your taste.
Usually it's easiest to start with a dominant color and then add one or two more shades. You can also use our poster wall builder as an option to play with contrasting colors and different size and color combinations. Start building your poster wall here.
It is also important to color-coordinate the poster design with the Frames you like. Therefore, it can sometimes be a good idea to choose a more natural color as the dominant color so that the Frames and posters you choose for your poster wall match.
You can choose Frames in many different colors and sizes. We offer art framed in oak and black pine in many different sizes such as A4, A3, A2, A1, 30x40 cm, 40x50 cm, 50x70 cm, and 70x100 cm. See how your favorite art prints look in Frames here.
How can I match different art styles?
Art prints come in a wide range of different styles. The style of your wall art depends on the kind of interior you have. If you already own some furniture that has a particular design or theme, it is better to match the poster design with the existing furniture rather than creating a completely new look for your home. The most important thing when choosing the right style for your poster wall is to choose a style that suits you as a person.

Although some people will say that it is difficult to mix several art styles together, in many cases you can create really good results by, for example, mixing abstract and minimalist art prints. That is also why we at Peléton have art prints in many different styles, making it easy for you to choose something you like. Try mixing our different styles of art prints with help from our interactive picture wall tool, which allows you to see and build your dream poster wall before you buy it.
Our art prints are of high quality and printed on thick and lovely art paper. The color reproduction is top-notch, and the details on our posters are incredibly precise. Additionally, our paper also has the advantage of being age-resistant, so you can enjoy your posters for many years. Find our posters here.
The posters we offer at Peléton help you create a stylish poster wall that is both beautiful and sustainable at the same time. They are easy to hang and assemble because if you buy a Frame for your poster, we frame the poster so it is ready to be hung up.

How to combine different poster sizes in a picture wall
It can be challenging to create a poster wall. However, the process becomes much easier when you have several different posters in various sizes. Poster sizes can be combined in many ways. Here with us, you can find posters in A4, A3, 30x40 cm, 40x50 cm, A2, 50x70 cm, A1, 70x100 cm, and even 100x140 cm. Our posters can perfectly match your existing art or our unique vintage posters. See our selection of vintage posters here.
If you have art prints in different sizes and are unsure how to make them match, try sorting them into three groups by size, color, and art style: art print group 1 (most dominant), art print group 2, and art print group 3 (less dominant). These groups should then fit together according to your design style.
Once you have separated the posters into different sizes, colors, and art styles, you can set them up either horizontally or vertically. Create a couple of large squares with the most dominant posters and work out from these. Then take small steps and add more smaller posters along the way, so you get a cohesive image that matches your personal style. When that is done, it is time to try different variations by moving the individual posters around to find the perfect composition.
The exact order of which art prints belong to the specific place depends entirely on the look you want your picture wall to have. The most important thing is that each piece looks good when placed side by side in the poster wall.
It is always most practical to have your posters framed in advance. Also remember to ensure that the paper is thick enough so it does not fold inside the frame over time. We produce our artworks on thick, high-quality paper, and our Frames close tightly around the artwork. If you buy a Frame with your poster from us, we will frame it for you, so it is easy to hang up.
Creating a calm and personal picture wall with posters and your photos will definitely create balance in your home.

How many posters do I need for my picture wall?
When you need to find the right number of posters for your poster wall, it mostly depends on the wall or the area where you want to have your gallery wall. Art prints from Peléton come in many different sizes such as 30x40 cm, 50x70 cm and 70x100 cm see all our sizes here.
Posters are not just "something you put on the wall," but should instead be seen as a design piece in itself. To create the perfect look with posters, we recommend a maximum of 3 art prints per square meter, so you can enjoy each poster individually without it being too much for the eyes.
Art prints can be combined in different ways, and you can freely place them wherever you want, depending on their size and style. They are perfect for placing around windows or door openings because they create a focal point that really stands out from the rest of your decor. However, we recommend going with a maximum of 10-12 artworks per art wall, so your home decor is not dominated by them. Find the perfect amount of art prints for your interior by use our art wall builder, allowing you to visualize your picture wall design before you buy your art prints and frames.
You can have art print walls in many different rooms, such as your living room, dining room, and bedroom. Art prints look fantastic when placed directly next to each other, so you don't need many of them for a small but beautiful picture wall.

Choosing frames for your own art print wall
When choosing a frame for your art print wall, it is important to consider how it will aesthetically enhance your environment, but also how well the frame fits with the rest of your decor.
You can get many different types of frames for your art prints. The frames at Peléton are sleek and come with real glass (except 70x100, which has acrylic) and have a thin and beautiful edge. If you buy art prints and frames together, we will frame your art print so it is easy for you to hang up.
We have three types of frames. We sell frames in oak, frames in dark oak, and frames in black wood. They are all of high quality. These frames go well with art prints. Art prints look great in a wide range of frame colors, so you can choose the color that best fits your decor!
If you already have an existing interior theme and want to add an art print wall to it, you have come to the right place. We have curated all art prints on Peléton to ensure that you can combine art prints for any style or home decoration. They work well as part of a picture wall or alongside other home accessories like small nibs items and larger furniture.
How to hang your art prints and create the perfect picture wall
There are many different ways to hang your art prints. The traditional hanging method is simple nails. It is always good to measure the distance between the art prints before you start hanging them.
You can also use art print strips. They are self-adhesive, easy to cut, and can quickly be hung on the walls. Art print strips are easier to use than hanging art prints with nails because it is easier to change the placement of the art prints later without making holes in the wall! All our Frame can also be hung using nails, screws, or hooks.
