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.
Most often, it is easiest to start with a dominant color and then add one or two additional 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 posters look in frames here.
How can I match different art styles?
Art prints are available in a wide variety of styles. The style of your wall art depends on the kind of decor you have. If you already own some furniture with a specific design or theme, it is better to match the poster design with the existing furniture, rather than creating an entirely new look for your home. The most important thing when choosing the right style for your poster wall is to select 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 posters. That is also why we at Peléton have art posters 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 posters are of high quality and printed on thick and luxurious 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 gallery wall
Creating a poster wall can be challenging. 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 complement your existing art or our unique vintage posters. See our selection of vintage posters here.
If you have art posters in different sizes and are unsure how to make them match, try sorting them into three groups by size, color, and art style: art poster group 1 (most dominant), art poster group 2, and art poster group 3 (less dominant). These groups should then coordinate with your design style.
Once you have separated the posters into different sizes, colors, and art styles, you can arrange them either horizontally or vertically. Create a few large squares with the most dominant posters and work from these. Then take small steps and add more smaller posters along the way, so you get a cohesive picture that matches your personal style. Once that is done, it's time to try different variations by moving the individual posters around to find the perfect composition.
The exact order of which art posters belong to the specific place depends entirely on the look you want your picture wall to have. The most important thing is that each individual piece looks good when placed side by side on 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 that it does not crease 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 that 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 are available 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 themselves. To create the perfect look with posters, we recommend a maximum of 3 art posters per square meter, so you can enjoy each poster individually without it being too much for the eyes.
Art posters can be combined in various 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 builderwhich allows you to visualize your picture wall design before you buy your posters and frames.
You can have poster walls in many different rooms, such as your living room, dining room, and bedroom. Posters look fantastic when placed right next to each other, so you don't need many of them for a small but beautiful picture wall.

Choosing frames for your own poster wall
When choosing a frame for your poster 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 posters. 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 posters and frames together, we will frame your poster 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 posters. Posters look good in a wide range of frame colors, so you can choose the color that best suits your decor!
If you already have an existing interior design theme and want to add a poster wall to it, you have come to the right place. We have curated all posters on Peléton to ensure that you can combine art posters for any kind of style or home decor. They work well as part of a picture wall or alongside other home accessories like small knick-knacks and larger furniture.
How to hang your art posters and create the perfect gallery wall
There are many different ways to hang your posters. The traditional hanging method is just regular nails. It is always good to measure the distance between the posters before you start hanging your posters up.
You can also use poster strips. They are self-adhesive, easy to cut to size, and can be quickly hung on the walls. Poster strips are easier to use than hanging posters with nails because it is easier to change the posters' placement later without making holes in the wall! All our poster frames can also be hung using nails, screws, or hooks.
