Posters

Posters are important elements that enrich wall decoration and reflect personal tastes. The poster collection, which attracts attention with its artistic expressions and striking visuals, allows you to change the atmosphere of your home or office. Especially retro posters and vintage posters bring the past to your homes with a modern touch. While colourful posters add vitality to your rooms, you can get a stylish and sophisticated look with modern and minimalist black and white posters.

Whether you choose from pop art style, minimalist or fairy tale designs suitable for your children's rooms, you can achieve a harmonious integrity with other decoration elements thanks to the many styles you will find among various poster paintings. These posters, which are impressive like ready to hang art, are at the forefront not only with their artistic but also functional qualities. Posters to be hung in the room and posters to be hung on the wall that can be mounted in open areas can completely change the atmosphere of the spaces by offering aesthetics and functionality in both cases. 

With different poster sizes, you can make a dramatic touch by hanging large posters on your large and wide walls, while you can decorate smaller or narrow spaces with minimalist and smaller posters. The rich poster collection allows you to make a difference in your living spaces by offering alternatives to suit everyone's taste.

From large-scale posters to those in the quality of framed works of art, posters that you can find almost every option you are looking for have the potential to add an aesthetic spark to every corner of your home. Corridors, living rooms, bedrooms and even kitchens can be remodelled with various poster models. While keeping up with the changes and transformations required by modern life, these aesthetic and functional posters will challenge your usual perceptions of decoration and bring a modern breath to your living spaces.

How to decorate a room with a poster?

Decorating your room using posters allows you to free your creativity. Posters to be hung on the wall add vitality and depth to the environment when chosen according to the theme of the room. You can make children's rooms fun with thematic options such as space posters or design a modern living room with black and white posters. You can also combine them with various objects among IKEA's wall decoration products to get a holistic look. Posters are aesthetic elements that will allow you to make a sophisticated touch in your decoration and increase the general atmosphere of the space.

When decorating a room with posters, it is important to consider the size and light intake of the space. Hanging a large retro poster in a small and low-light room can make the room look narrower and suffocating. Instead, you can make your room feel more spacious by choosing poster models with lighter tones and minimal design. If the colours of the poster are in harmony with the other colours of the room, it creates an eye-friendly and aesthetic integrity.

If you plan to use vintage posters or colourful posters in your decoration, make sure that these products are compatible with the wall colour and existing furniture. Posters in vibrant colours add energy to your room and create a more dynamic atmosphere, while posters in pastel tones help to create a calmer and more peaceful environment. In both cases, you can choose items that suit your decoration style by taking advantage of the rich poster collection.

The positioning of posters is also critical when decorating your room. Instead of completely covering a wall with posters, focusing on a certain part of the wall can provide a more aesthetic look. A few small-sized posters hung above your workspace can add an inspiring touch to your room. In addition, the choice of frame you will use when hanging your posters is also very important. You can make your posters more eye-catching by choosing the most suitable one for the style of your room among wooden, metal or plastic frames.

Although posters are generally seen as the choice of young people and art lovers, they are actually suitable for people of all age groups and tastes. Thanks to the wide range of poster sets, you can find products to complement every decoration style from minimalist to bohemian, classic to modern styles. These posters are perfect decoration pieces that you can use not only in your home but also in your office or workplace.

Decorating with posters is a low-cost, high-impact renovation method. By exploring IKEA's affordable poster collections, you can reshape your home or workplace according to your personal taste. With posters, you can easily and economically update the look of any room and breathe new life into your space.

What should be considered when buying a poster?

The most important point you should pay attention to when choosing a poster is that it harmonises with the general decoration style of the space. The quality and paper type of the poster pictures you choose increases the permanence of the visual effect it will offer. Choosing a sturdy frame also extends the life of your posters and makes them more aesthetic. With the frame models available at IKEA, you can turn each poster into a work of art. 

Another important point to consider when buying a poster is its size. Poster dimensions should be suitable for the size of the selected space. While large posters are preferred for a large wall, more minimal and simple designs should stand out for smaller or narrower spaces. The choice of colour palette also plays a critical role in poster selection. While colourful posters create a lively and dynamic atmosphere, black and white posters offer a more sophisticated and modern atmosphere. 

Being in colour harmony with other decorative items in your home or office provides a general integrity. Especially vintage posters and retro posters can change the atmosphere of the space with a nostalgic touch. Such posters are the perfect complement to spaces with classic or retro decoration.

When purchasing a poster, the quality and longevity of the material should be taken into consideration along with its aesthetic features. Posters made of high quality materials are more resistant to colour fading when exposed to sunlight and thus can remain as the first day for many years. 

When choosing your posters, you should also consider thematic cohesion. A room with a lighthouse theme can be complemented by hanging nautical or maritime posters to create an atmosphere that complements the room. For children's rooms, fun posters such as space posters or cartoon characters that will develop imagination can be preferred. These choices help to create an environment that suits the personality and tastes of the user of the room.

A good poster choice means more than just an image to hang on the wall. These choices add character to the space and reflect the spirit and style of the people living there. Therefore, you can give a personal touch to your living spaces by choosing the ones that suit your taste and needs from a wide range of posters to hang in the room.

How to hang a poster?

When hanging your posters, you should consider the surface condition of the wall. You can easily hang your posters using the various hanging brackets and adhesives IKEA offers. When planning the layout, think about how the posters relate to other artworks in the room, such as furniture and wall ormanents, to help you create a harmonious decoration. It is also important to pay attention to the materials you can use when hanging your posters; different materials, such as vinyl or paper, require different types of adhesives.

It is also important to choose hanging devices suitable for the size and weight of the poster to be hung. Large and heavy posters may require strong and durable nails or dowels, while double-sided tape may be sufficient for lighter posters. Make sure your poster is hung exactly level by using a spirit level to maintain level during the hanging process.

You also need to be aesthetically careful when hanging a poster. Measure the distance from the furniture and the overall composition of the wall to ensure that it is comfortable on the wall. The bottom edge of a poster to be hung over a sofa should be at least 20-30 cm above the sofa to provide a visual balance.

In the case of poster sets to be hung as a group, the distances between them should be equal or symmetrical. Thanks to these arrangements, the aesthetic integrity of the room gains an organised and planned artistic content instead of a confused and random appearance. For posters to be hung in groups, special attention should be paid to thematic or colour harmony and a visual transition should be ensured.

The direction in which the poster will receive light is also important. Posters hung on a wall in direct sunlight run the risk of fading; therefore, frames with UV-protected glass can be used. If you are using artificial lighting, you can ensure the best view by controlling the distribution of light that the lamp casts on the poster.

To avoid making any mistakes, you can make light marks on the wall to mark the position of your poster before hanging it. You can make a visual preview on the wall by marking the corners of the frame with small sticky notes. This method allows you to make sure everything is as planned before you actually hammer the nail.

When hanging your posters, you need to know whether the material of the wall can support the weight of the poster and which type of dowel or nail to use. For plasterboard walls, special plasterboard dowels should be preferred, while for concrete or brick walls, stronger solutions should be chosen. In any case, it is important to use the right tools to avoid damage to the wall.

What are the poster sizes?

There is a wide range of poster sizes available at IKEA. Small posters can be used in narrow spaces such as hallways, while large posters can be used in large spaces such as living rooms to create eye-catching wall art. When choosing the size of the poster, it is important to consider the width of the wall where it will be hung and its relationship with other objects in the space.

Posters are decorative elements that can completely change the general appearance of the wall. If you have a large living room and your walls are empty, a large large poster can perfectly fill this space and become the focal point of the room. Oversized posters add dynamism and character to the space, especially by breaking the monotonous appearance of wide walls. On the other hand, if you prefer a smaller and minimal decoration, it is possible to add elegance in a simple way with small posters.

For children's rooms and youth rooms, more dynamic and fun poster models can be preferred. In these rooms, vibrant colours and energetic designs are usually at the forefront. Space posters or posters with cartoon characters are among the choices suitable for children and young people's rooms. Such posters, when chosen in accordance with the general theme of the room, can make the rooms more enjoyable for children.

It is also possible to create a minimalist and modern decoration by using black and white posters. Such posters are especially ideal for living spaces that want to create a modern and stylish atmosphere. Black and white posters can also be easily combined with colourful decorative elements, thus creating a balanced and sophisticated look. The size of the poster to be used can also affect the size and design of the frame to be selected. Frame options are available in different sizes and styles. These frames can make your posters stand out even more and provide an additional artistic touch to your walls. 

When you want to completely cover a wall with posters, you can create an interesting gallery wall by experimenting with different size and style combinations. You can discover a wide collection of posters that you can use to take your decoration to the next level and get designs that offer not only beauty but also functionality and comfort in your spaces from IKEA.
