Choose the size and type of frame

When it comes to showcasing your posters, choosing the right frame plays a key role. Our posters are available in several sizes (15x20, 20x30, 30x40, and 50x70 cm). This article will guide you in choosing the ideal frame. If you want to use a mat, you'll need to opt for a frame larger than the poster. Here's everything you need to know.

Different types of frames and their effects on your posters

Choosing the right frame type is just as important as its size. Here's a list of the main frame types and what they add to your posters:

Natural wood frame:

  • Effect : Brings warmth and authenticity to your decor.
  • Ideal for : Scandinavian, bohemian or rustic interiors.
  • Common colors : Light wood, oak, walnut.

Colored frames:

  • Effect : More versatile, they can adapt to any atmosphere.
  • Ideal for : Adding a pop of color or contrast to a room.
  • Common colors : Black, white, gray, pastel...

Metal frames:

  • Effect : Modernity and minimalism.
  • Ideal for : Contemporary or industrial interiors.
  • Common colors : Matte black, silver, gold, bronze.

Floating frames:

  • Effect : Gives the impression that the poster is floating between two plates of glass or transparent plastic.
  • Ideal for : Showcasing posters or modern graphic works.

Thin edge frames:

  • Effect : Discreet, it leaves all the attention on the poster.
  • Ideal for : Very colorful posters or posters with minimalist designs.

Wide rim frames:

  • Effect : Creates a strong visual presence and enhances smaller posters.
  • Ideal for : Accentuating the impact of a poster in a large room.

Frames with ornament:

  • Effect : Refined and elegant, perfect for a classic or vintage atmosphere.
  • Ideal for : Sophisticated interiors or those inspired by ancient art.

Frames without rim (solid glass):

  • Effect : Highlights the poster without distraction.
  • Ideal for : Very clean or monochrome designs.

What is a master key?

The mat is a cardboard border inserted between the poster and the frame. It has several advantages:

  1. Poster enhancement : The mat draws attention to the visual by creating an additional framing effect.
  2. Extra protection : It prevents the poster from directly touching the glass, which preserves the paper and colors.
  3. Aesthetic effect : It gives an elegant and professional look, ideal for modern or classic interiors.

If you are not planning on using a mat, the frame must match the poster size exactly.

Frames sold in home decor stores often specify the size of the poster they can hold with or without a mat.

A well-chosen frame transforms your poster

The right frame isn't just for protection; it enhances your poster and complements your interior decor. Whether you're looking to add a minimalist touch or create a bold focal point, choosing the right frame is essential.
