Why Poster Size Matters

Choosing the right poster size is one of the most important decisions when decorating your space. Too small and your poster gets lost on the wall; too large and it can overwhelm the room. Whether you're decorating a bedroom, living room, or home office, understanding our poster sizes will help you create the perfect look.

Our Poster Sizes Explained

20 × 30 cm / 8 × 12 in

Our smallest size, perfect for desk displays, small shelves, or creating a dense gallery wall. It works especially well in compact spaces like student rooms or home offices. Pair several 20 × 30 cm prints together for a curated, editorial feel.

30 × 40 cm / 12 × 16 in

One of our most popular sizes for good reason — it's versatile enough to stand alone on a small wall or blend into a larger gallery arrangement. It's ideal for bedrooms, hallways, and bathrooms where you want a statement without dominating the space.

40 × 60 cm / 16 × 24 in

Step up to this size when you want your poster to be a true focal point. It works beautifully above a sofa, bed headboard, or fireplace — large enough to command attention but still easy to frame and hang.

50 × 75 cm (≈20 × 30 in)

A popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms, this size creates a noticeable statement without overpowering your décor. It works beautifully above a console table, bed, or as the centerpiece of a gallery wall.

60 × 90 cm (≈24 × 36 in)

Our largest available size is designed to make an impact. Perfect for spacious walls, above sofas or king-size beds, or as a standalone statement piece, it brings a premium gallery feel to any room.

How to Choose the Right Size for Your Room

A good rule of thumb: your poster or art arrangement should cover roughly 60–75% of the available wall width. For a sofa that's 180 cm wide, aim for artwork or a gallery wall that spans around 110–135 cm.

  • Small rooms & bathrooms: 20 × 30 cm or 30 × 40 cm
  • Bedrooms & home offices: 30 × 40 cm or 40 × 60 cm
  • Living rooms: 40 × 60 cm or 50 × 75 cm
  • Large walls & open spaces: 50 × 75 cm or 60 × 90 cm

Gallery walls are one of the most popular ways to decorate a space. By combining different poster sizes, you can create a unique and personalized display.

A classic arrangement features one 50 × 75 cm poster as the centerpiece, paired with two 30 × 40 cm posters and several 20 × 30 cm prints. For a clean, professional look, keep 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) of spacing between each frame and stick to a consistent theme or colour palette.
