8 rooms, 8 different ways to hang a poster. This guide sums up what works room by room (subject, mood and practical constraints), with links to each room’s detailed guide and collection. To choose the right size, see our sizes and paper; to arrange several posters together, use Build my gallery wall; to choose a style, see our guide which poster style suits my decor.
1Living room
This is the room where we spend the most time awake, so a living-room poster can be larger or arranged as a pair above the sofa. The subjects that work best include travel, music, botanicals and Art Deco—anything that sparks conversation without making the room feel visually busy.
See the living-room posters.
2Bedroom
Bedrooms suit softer subjects: botanicals, landscapes and understated Art Deco. In general, it is best to avoid overly graphic or visually loud subjects near the bed.
See the bedroom guide and the bedroom posters.
3Kitchen and dining room
Coffee, wine, recipes and advertising-style Art Deco: the kitchen is the room where humour and lettering work best. For a dining nook or dining room, the same subjects work well—food, still lifes and aperitifs. There is no separate collection; simply browse the Kitchen collection.
See the kitchen guide and the kitchen posters.
4Toilet (WC)
This is the room where humour is most welcome: puns, quirky scenes and often smaller sizes (A4 or A3) for a narrow wall.
See the toilet guide and the WC posters.
5Bathroom
Soap, seashells and retro bathing scenes: beware of humidity—a pane of glass or a mount protects the print better in this room.
See the bathroom guide and the bathroom posters.
6Entryway and hallway
A hallway is often narrow and crossed without stopping, so travel subjects, cities and dynamic scenes—cars or motorbikes—set the tone as soon as you walk in without demanding prolonged contemplation.
See the entryway and hallway guide and the entryway and hallway posters.
7Office
Aviation, maps, scientific botanicals and retro objects: subjects that keep you company without distracting you while you work.
See the office guide and the office posters.
8Laundry room
The laundry room welcomes self-deprecating humour: washing machines, laundry and cleaning chores given a playful twist, in a small format.
See the laundry-room guide and the laundry-room posters.
9Hang it in the right place
A common decorating guideline is to centre the poster at eye level, around 145 to 150 cm from the floor for a standing person, and to leave slightly more space between the frame and a piece of furniture than between two frames in the same arrangement. For the exact dimensions of each size (A4 to A0) and details of the 200 g/m² paper, see our sizes and paper.
