It's 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 best advice for choosing the perfect poster for any room in the modern home. We cover size selection, the type of art that suits your decor, and 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 prints 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're 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 prints from Karla Hyman and Karolina Székely are fantastic! They are well suited for a minimalist space where their timeless design does not clash with other art prints or objects around them.

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

Some people prefer photo art prints 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 prints full of atmosphere and beautiful moments.

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

If you want to hang the art print in frames, make sure the art print fits your frame. If the art print is for an art wall, go for the size that fits best in relation to the others so they complement each other nicely.
3. How to combine different art prints so they fit your interior design
Decorating your home with art prints can be a fun way to express your personality through your interior design, while art prints can also give the rest of your home a lift.
Think about colors, shade, and context before making your decision. The art prints should match your wall and furniture, but most of all your personality. If you need to visually see how art prints work together, we definitely recommend using our art wall builder.
Once you have chosen an art print, you need to find a frame that fits the art print and the room it will be in. If you have a bright home with, for example, beige walls and wooden furniture, an oak or dark oak frame can fit well into your decor, whereas black frames go well with dark furniture. Here it is important to choose a material that lasts and is sustainable. We most often recommend solid wood frames because they give a natural look to the room, last longer, and come in different variations 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 boost! See our full selection of quality art prints here.
