5 Ways to Decorate with vintage Posters

Introduction

If you're looking for a new way to decorate your home, vintage posters may be a perfect fit. Vintage posters are affordable, stylish, and can easily liven up any room in your house. But there are some things to consider when buying vintage posters: where and how to buy them, how to frame them properly so they last longer, and what kind of designs you should choose. In this article we'll take an in-depth look at the best ways to decorate with vintage posters!

Invest in a vintage poster framing.

Vintage posters are great, but they can be tricky to frame. There are a few things you'll need to keep in mind:

  • Make sure that the site you use is reputable, so you don't end up with a bad quality poster (you want your vintage poster framing to be high quality!).

  • When buying frames, make sure they're high quality and will last—you don't want them falling apart after a few years! For example start finding a reputable frame store in your city, where they can offer a bespoke service. A good example in London UK is The Framers located in 16 Camden Passage Angel Islington.

  • Make sure that there's enough space on the wall for both your vintage poster framing as well as whatever else might go there too (e.g., paintings or other decor). A good rule of thumb is about two feet between each piece of art—this allows for more visual appeal without overcrowding the wall space around it. If this isn't possible due to lack of room then consider using gallery-style rods instead; these allow hangings without taking up too much space themselves since they're mounted directly onto drywall rather than resting on brackets above individual panels like traditional frames do."

Find the posters you love online, then go to a reputable site.

Posters and prints

Finding the vintage posters you love online is easy, but finding a reputable site can be a little more difficult. A good place to start if you are looking for original vintage posters is at reputable auction houses like Sotheby's or Christie's (they certainly aren't the only ones), where many of the best posters ever printed are kept under lock and key. However, if it's not an auction site that has been vetted by experts in the field—or if you are looking for a high quality vintage poster reproduction also are different online shops like Murellos or Desenio are good options.

Remember that there are plenty of scammers out there who will try and sell bad quality posters or fake as authentic pieces of art; if you're unsure about whether or not something is real, contact an expert before making any purchases!

Use vintage posters to decorate your apartment.

Vintage posters can be used to decorate your apartment. If you're decorating your apartment, consider using vintage posters as a way to bring the style of the past into your space. To start, choose a style that fits with your aesthetic preferences and lifestyle. If you love vintage artwork, frame some of it on the walls with staples or thumb tacks so that they hang like paintings; if you prefer more contemporary styles, try placing them in frames on tables or shelves instead of on the walls. Next, think about how many posters will complement each other nicely—you'll want enough variety so that there aren't too many patterns vying for attention at once but not so much variety that they compete with one another visually (and logistically). Finally: enjoy!

Buy more than one vintage poster at a time so you have enough for frames.

The fact is, no matter how much you love a vintage poster, it’s impossible to afford to buy just one. The average cost of a high quality vintage poster replica is $50-$200 depending on the size and artist, and the original vintage posters in good excelent condition can cost from $1.000 up to $30.000. But there are still plenty of affordable options that won't break the bank. Sometime original vintage posters are not in excellent conditions and you will see several details of damages because they are old, in that case I recommend to go for a high quality replica that give you the best result of the original product from the day one of production. 

I know what you're thinking: “But what if all of my friends hate my taste in art? What do I do then?”

Well luckily for everyone involved, there's an easy solution: buy multiple copies of everything! This way each friend can pick their favorite poster out of the bunch and frame it themselves. You get to keep all of them without having any awkward conversations about whether or not you should take down an offensive piece hanging on your wall—and they get their own framed treasure!

Create a gallery wall with your vintage posters.

Choose a theme for your gallery wall.

This can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. Maybe you have a favorite movie that you always watch when you're home on the weekends, so this would be a good theme to choose. Or perhaps there is one artist whose work appeals to you and inspires the way that they see life or the world. If this is the case, then use their work as inspiration for what posters will go up in your gallery wall. Another option is to get creative! Just because all of our samples were vintage posters doesn't mean yours have to follow suit! Think about how each poster will fit into your room and make sure that it's something that makes sense with its surroundings.

Choose a color scheme for your frames and posters:

When framing vintage posters, we recommend choosing colors that are vibrant but not too bright or saturated (unless that's what works well with the rest of your decor). Pastels tend not stand out very much against dark walls, so we suggest sticking with neutral colors like black/white/gray when hanging framed prints on dark walls; likewise if there's already plenty of light in any given space then darker tones may overpower them instead of complementing them nicely like lighter hues do best at creating harmony between colors found therein

Vintage posters are great decorating elements, but you have to be careful about how you frame them.

Vintage posters are great decorating elements, but you have to be careful about how you frame them.

  • Use a good quality frame store (choose the one in your city with the best reputation). The best frames are made of wood and do not have glass in them. A lot of cheap poster frames use plastic or acrylic instead of wood, which can warp over time and crack easily.

  • Make sure the frame matches the size of your vintage poster. If it doesn't match up exactly, it can look strange when hung on your wall.

  • Choose a color that works with the colors in your room and makes sense with your other decorating elements (if any). Black is always a safe choice for dark rooms as it absorbs light rather than reflecting it like white does, so if you're trying to darken things up consider using black matte board for framing instead of white matte board since that will absorb more light without making everything else look dirty by comparison!

Conclusion

If you’re looking to decorate with vintage posters, remember that they will always be a great way to add some character and charm to your home. But if you want them in good condition for years to come, remember that framing is key! And don’t forget about how much fun it can be to buy multiple vintage posters at once so you have enough for frames. It doesn’t matter if your style is traditional or modern—you can find something perfect for your space no matter what kind of look you want out of life!
