Hang them as wall decor.
Posters are a great way to add color and interest to your walls, and many of them are printed on high-quality paper that looks good when hung up. You can use push pins or thumb tacks or glue to hang posters, depending on the type of poster you choose and how long you want it to stay up.
Frame your posters
Frame your posters. When you frame a poster, it gives the image a timeless and professional look. The frames also protect them from damage so that they last longer.
When choosing a frame, choose one that will fit the size of your poster and ensure it’s in proportion to it. For example if you want to hang up an A3 sized picture on your wall choose an A3 sized frame for it.
If your poster is a movie poster then consider using an old style movie poster frame or even getting an original one made for you if there aren’t any available at local stores or online shops such as Etsy!
DIY poster wall collage
A poster wall collage is a great way to fill up a large wall. You can use it to show off your personality, and it's also an easy way to decorate without having to spend lots of money. You'll need some basic supplies, including frames and posters that fit in the frames. Make sure you have enough variety so that no one poster seems out of place or too small compared with others on the wall.
Here are some tips for creating a poster collage:
-
Use different sizes and shapes of frames for different types of posters (movie posters vs travel posters)
-
Be sure there's enough space between each frame so that they don't seem crowded together
Make a poster wall gallery
-
Supplies: poster, frame, ruler, pencil, hammer and nails.
-
Step 1: Draw a grid on the back of your poster with a ruler and pencil. You can make it as simple or fancy as you like depending on your budget and style! The example below is one inch squares for each square on the paper (1in2).
-
Step 2: Using a hammer and nail punch through each square from top to bottom to create holes for hanging (or use push pins if you are hanging an unframed poster).
-
Step 3: Hang up your new piece of art!
Use washi tape to hang posters
Washi tape is an extremely versatile decorating tool. It can be used to hang posters on walls, windows, doors, or even ceilings. Washi tape comes in a variety of colors and patterns so you can make your posters as colorful as you want.
While we recommend using washi tape for hanging posters because it's easy to remove without damaging the wall or leaving any residue behind (unlike tacks), there are other methods that will work just as well!
