Tips to display posters like a pro

  • Walls are made from different materials, and suitable materials are needed to hang the posters perfectly. Anchor the posters on the wall with the use of materials that are specifically designed for the walls. Walls are usually made from bricks, plasterboard, or mortar.
  • The arrangement of the posters will determine the success of the wall art. Do not hesitate to employ symmetry and asymmetry. The frames should likewise be spaced evenly to avoid cramping. Use a tape measure to determine the proper arrangement of the posters.
  • Any artwork, including posters, needs to be displayed at eye level. At this position, the prints can be viewed easily. However, hanging the posters at eye level can be complicated and greatly depends on your perception of eye level. Estimate the average eye level of those who will view the prints. It does not have to be precise; just the right height is sufficient to be appreciated by the viewers. 
  • Too heavy posters may damage the wall. Frame hangers are needed for lightweight frames, and heavy prints should be hung with an anchor to stay in place.
  • The size and scale of the prints should match the size of the wall. For example, small posters do not appear excellent on large walls as they may leave wall space. Arrange them in groups to fill up space. 
  • Use non-glare glass for posters that are displayed near a window. This will allow the posters to be viewed quickly when the sun is out.
  • The walls are not the only structure where you can display your prints. You can also use easels in various sizes and styles.
