There's nothing like an easy interior decor problem to make you feel like you can tackle any design dilemma in your home. Blank walls are perhaps one of the easiest to solve. With a screwdriver, glue gun or anything you can use to hang framed pictures, artwork and even shelving on the walls, you can transform any bland wall into an interesting conversation piece in a matter of minutes.
Posters as a Quick and Easy Remedy for Bland Walls
There are many decor options you can choose if you are planning on sprucing up a white wall. Posters are as good a decorative option as any, especially if you do not have the budget to splurge on an expensive art piece or no time to choose family photos and have them printed. Posters also come in various colors, sizes and themes so finding the perfect poster to fit the design that you have in the room or the design you want to achieve for that space will not be so hard to do. Just by adding a poster or a group of posters, you can introduce color, contrasts, textures and an eye-catching focal point to any room.
Types of Posters
Choosing what kind of poster you want for a wall can be overwhelming. There are different kinds of posters, from those made of solid color blocks to vintage movie posters. Statement posters are also very popular, and they come in various designs to fit any type of style from shabby chic to modern and masculine interior design themes. Here are the top kinds you will encounter when you start shopping for posters.
- Solid color blocks
- Textured posters
- Statement posters
- Vintage movie posters
- Fine art prints
- Floor-to-ceiling posters
Tying Your Poster Choice with the Interior Decor
If you love the theme that you already have in the room, it would be best if you choose a poster that ties well with the decor already in place. You can use small posters with identical frames and hang them in a pattern on the wall. Or you can opt for a single large poster to cover the entire wall for a dramatic look. You have to make sure that the design, text and graphics on the poster do not clash with the aesthetic in the room. Floral prints and feminine colors are great for a cottage style living room, while minimalist statement posters are great for an edgy, modern space.
Using Posters to Decorate Bland Furnishings
Aside from blank walls, you can also use posters to cover bland cupboards if you do not want to repaint. Choose posters with floral prints if you want to wrap kitchen cupboards and want to have a country cottage vibe going on, or old movie posters if you are redoing a space for a more masculine and modern look. Simply soak the poster in lukewarm water to make it soft and easy to glue onto your furniture surfaces.
