Choosing the Perfect Size Poster: A Simple Guide

Finding the right art print can transform any room. Yet choosing the perfect size poster is just as important as selecting the artwork itself. The right dimensions create balance, improve flow, and elevate your interior. In this guide, you’ll learn how to choose the ideal size for your space .

Why Size Matters

Size defines presence. A small poster feels subtle and calm. A large one makes a bold statement. Therefore, the poster size should reflect the role you want the artwork to play. Think of the room’s layout, nearby furniture, and how much visual impact you want.

Measure Your Wall First

Start with your wall. Measure the width and height. Next, determine how much space you want around the artwork. A good rule of thumb is to keep at least one-third empty wall around the poster. This creates breathing room and prevents the space from feeling crowded.

Consider Standard Poster Sizes

At Artcohr, our posters come in three easy-to-frame formats:

• 12×16″ (30×40 cm) – Ideal for small rooms, reading corners, or narrow walls.
• 18×24″ (45×60 cm) – A versatile size for living rooms, bedrooms, and creative studios.
• 24×32″ (61×81 cm) – Perfect for large walls or when you want a strong visual statement.

These options make choosing the perfect size poster simple and flexible.

Classic or Gallery Edition?

The Edition you choose also affects perceived size.

• The Classic Edition shows the artwork edge-to-edge.
• The Gallery Edition adds a white border of about 5%. This creates a calm, modern look and increases contrast.

The border can make the poster feel slightly larger and more refined, especially in clean and minimal interiors.

Match Size With Room Function

For workspaces, choose a medium or large poster that boosts focus and inspiration. For bedrooms, a smaller or mid-size format can add texture without overwhelming the space. In living rooms, larger formats create a strong focal point and tie the decor together.
