Wall Posters

A poster is the least committal way to change a room and the fastest. No fixings to plan around, no reframing when you move, and if you tire of it in two years the wall is exactly as you found it. That freedom is why posters carry the boldest work in most homes — people will hang a saturated Krishna or a black-and-white op-art face as a print long before they would commit to it on canvas.

What is here

The catalogue splits roughly into subjects people come looking for by name and styles people recognise on sight. The named subjects run from Hindu deities — Krishna, Radha, Shiva, Rama, Ganesha — through Buddha and Christian iconography, into wildlife and birds, flowers, world landmarks, and the film and pop-culture faces that never really go out of rotation. The styles run from Art Deco and pop art to hard-edged geometry, minimalism and optical illusion.

Both routes lead to the same place. Browse by what a piece is *of* if you know what you want on that wall; browse by style if you know how the room needs to feel and are open about the rest.

Choosing a size before you choose the art

The usual mistake is going too small. A single print on a wide wall reads as an afterthought no matter how good it is — the rule of thumb is that one piece should cover somewhere between half and two-thirds of the furniture it sits above. If that feels too big, it probably isn't.

Two smaller prints hung close together read as one composition and solve the same problem more cheaply. Three or more want a real grid, measured, with even gaps: a nearly-aligned set is more distracting than an obviously casual one.

Where posters do their best work

Hallways and stair walls, because you pass them at speed and a bold subject earns the glance. Bedrooms, where the palette can be quieter and more personal than anywhere you entertain. Home offices, which are on camera more than they used to be. And any wall that gets real daylight for part of the day — colour that is chosen in the evening often looks quite different at ten in the morning, so it is worth standing in the space at both times before you decide.
