Collection: Posters

Start with the wall space. Measure the area where the poster will hang, including space around monitors, shelves, lamps, and furniture. A smaller print often works well beside a desk or in a narrow gap, while a larger format can become the main visual focus of an open wall. If you plan to group several posters, map the layout with paper sheets or painter's tape first.

Next, think about viewing distance. Detailed character art and scenes are easier to appreciate when viewed from nearby. Bolder graphics, logos, and high-contrast imagery tend to read well across a room. Consider the colours already in your space too. A poster can match an existing setup, or provide contrast against plain walls and neutral furniture.

Check the listed dimensions before ordering, as “poster size” can mean different things across products and regions. Decide if you want a frame, poster rails, clips, or adhesive strips. Framing can help protect the print from dust, marks, and bent corners. For rented spaces, use wall-safe hanging methods that suit your wall type and the poster's weight.

Finally, choose art you’ll still enjoy seeing every day. Your current favorite character is a great place to start, but iconic artwork and themes with lasting personal meaning can also make a room feel more like yours.

Where you hang a poster affects how it looks over time. Avoid placing paper prints in direct sunlight for long periods, since light exposure can cause colours to fade. Rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or poorly ventilated spaces, can also affect paper and cause rippling. A bedroom, gaming room, office, or living area is usually a more suitable setting.

Before mounting anything, clean and dry the wall. Dust or moisture can weaken adhesive products and leave a poster sitting unevenly. If you use tape, choose an option intended for posters or lightweight paper, and test it on a hidden section of wall when possible. Standard tape may damage the print during removal. Poster putty can work for lighter pieces, though it may leave marks on certain painted surfaces.

Frames are a practical choice for prints you want to keep in good condition. Choose a frame that matches the print dimensions rather than trimming the artwork to fit. A mat can create breathing room around a smaller image, while a borderless frame gives art a closer, more direct feel. Clear acrylic covers are lighter than glass and can be useful near desks or gaming setups.

For a gallery wall, keep spacing consistent. Around 5 to 8 cm between prints is a common starting point, though the best gap depends on the size of each piece and the room. Aligning the center points, top edges, or bottom edges creates a more intentional display. Mix character posters with game art, anime imagery, or typography if the themes feel connected.

If you need to store a poster before hanging it, keep it flat in a dry place. Avoid folding it. If it arrives rolled, let it rest under clean, light weight for a short time, with protective paper between the print and the weight. Handle the edges with clean hands to reduce fingerprints.
