🖼️ Framing Guide: How to Style Your Posters Like a Pro
Your art deserves a frame that matches its power. Whether you're going bold, minimalist, or somewhere in between, here's how to choose the right frame and size for your space.
1. Know Your Sizes
We offer standard poster sizes for easy framing:
8x10" – Great for small spaces, desks, or layered gallery walls
11x14" – A versatile mid-size that works on shelves or in groups
16x20" – Ideal for making a statement without overpowering
18x24" – A bold centerpiece size
24x36" – Maximum impact for larger walls
Tip: These sizes fit standard off-the-shelf frames from most retailers—no custom framing required.
2. With or Without a Mat?
With a mat = a cleaner, gallery look and more breathing room
Without a mat = edge-to-edge boldness and full impact
Go with a mat for modern or minimal styles. Skip it for a rich, immersive visual pop.
3. Framing Styles We Love
Black or white frames – Timeless and modern
Natural wood frames – Warm and earthy
Gold or brass frames – Glam with a vintage twist
Acrylic or floating frames – Sleek, airy, and contemporary
Choose what speaks to your space—and your spirit.
4. Gallery Wall Layout Tips
Mix and match sizes for an eclectic look
Keep spacing even (1.5–2 inches apart looks clean)
Lay it out on the floor first to visualize before hanging
Use painter’s tape to map things out on the wall before committing!
5. Where to Shop for Frames
Look for affordable, stylish frames at:
- Thrift stores
- IKEA
- Target
- Michaels
- Amazon
- West Elm or CB2 for high-end styles
Bonus Tip:
Command strips are a renter-friendly way to hang frames without damage.
