Personal posters for your living room

Above the sofa, beside your favourite armchair or on a sideboard: a poster does not need a perfect room. It needs a spot where you enjoy seeing it. Here are three ideas using designs you can personalise yourself.

Start with a place or picture that means something to you

Your hometown, your first home together or a photo of your dog can be a useful starting point. Choose the subject first, then adjust its colours and frame to suit the room.

A colourful city map stands out against a pale wall. A coordinates print feels quieter, with more open paper around the lettering. TextArt combines your own photo and words in one image.

Check the size on your own wall

Measure the space above your sofa or sideboard. Mark the outside dimensions of your preferred size with removable decorator’s tape. Step back and see how the outline works with furniture, lamps and windows.

A wide sofa does not automatically need one enormous print. Two smaller posters can work together. Leave room between them so each design remains easy to see.

Connect the print to a few colours already in the room

Pick up something already there: wood from a table, black from a lamp or a pale shade in the sofa. A frame can connect the print to your furniture without matching every colour exactly.

These room images are visualisations. Frames are optional; your editor preview shows the actual design and finish you select.

Ideas for your room

A city map above the sofa

The ochre map and wood frame give a pale wall a clear focal point. Search for your city or the street you walk along every day.

Coordinates for a quieter corner

A favourite place can be shown in just a few lines. Beside an armchair or on a sideboard, the coordinates stay subtle while you choose the place and lettering yourself.

A couple’s portrait, made from your words

Choose a photo with a clear silhouette and a few words that feel right for you. From a distance you see the picture; up close you can explore the lettering.
