Creating a Stunning Feature Wall with Framed Travel Posters

Let’s face it, we’ve all got that one blank wall in our homes that’s been staring back at us, begging for a bit of personality. Maybe it’s in the living room, the hallway, or even the bedroom. Well, I’m here to tell you that a fantastic way to inject some life into that space is by creating a feature wall with framed travel posters. It’s a brilliant way to showcase your love for travel and add a touch of visual interest to your home décor. Plus, it’s a pretty fun project to tackle!

Now, you might be thinking, “Sounds great, but where do I even begin?” Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. From choosing the right posters to arranging them like a pro, I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step.

Choosing Your Travel Posters For Your Feature Wall

First things first, you’ll need to decide on the travel posters you want to feature. This is where you can really let your personality shine! Think about the places you’ve been, the destinations that are on your bucket list, or simply the locations that capture your imagination.

We have a vast collection of travel posters here on our website, featuring destinations from all corners of the globe.

A few tips for choosing your posters:

• Consider the colour palette: Think about the existing colours in your room and choose posters that complement or contrast them in an appealing way.
• Mix and match styles: Don’t be afraid to combine different styles of posters for a more eclectic look. You could pair a vintage poster with a modern one, or a photographic print with an illustration.
• Think about size and orientation: Varying the sizes and orientations of your posters can add visual interest to your feature wall.

Framing Your Travel Posters

Once you’ve chosen your posters, it’s time to frame them. The right frame can make all the difference in how your posters look on the wall.

We offer a range of framing options to suit different styles and budgets.

Here are a few framing tips:

• Consider the poster’s style: A vintage poster might look best in a classic wooden frame, while a modern poster might suit a more contemporary frame.
• Choose a mat that complements the poster: A mat is a piece of cardstock that sits between the poster and the frame. It can help to enhance the poster’s colours and create a more polished look.
• Ensure the frame is the right size: Make sure the frame is the correct size for your poster and that it’s properly secured.

Arranging Your Framed Posters

Now comes the fun part – arranging your framed posters on the feature wall! There’s no right or wrong way to do this, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Create a grid layout: This is a classic and symmetrical way to arrange your posters. It works particularly well if you have a collection of posters that are all the same size.
• Go for an asymmetrical arrangement: This is a more relaxed and informal approach. You can mix and match different sizes and orientations of posters to create a more dynamic look.
• Tell a story: If your posters are all related to a particular theme, such as a specific country or region, you could arrange them in a way that tells a story.

Before you start hammering nails into the wall, it’s a good idea to plan your arrangement for your feature wall. You can do this by laying your framed posters on the floor and experimenting with different layouts. You can also use painter’s tape to mark out the position of each frame on the wall.

Hanging Your Framed Posters

Once you’re happy with your arrangement, it’s time to hang your posters. Make sure you use the appropriate hanging hardware for the size and weight of your frames.

Here are a few tips for hanging your posters:

• Use a spirit level to ensure your frames are straight.
• If you’re hanging multiple posters, use a measuring tape to ensure they’re evenly spaced.
• Consider using picture hanging strips if you don’t want to make holes in your wall.

Enjoying Your New Feature Wall

And there you have it! With a bit of planning and effort, you’ve created a stunning feature wall that showcases your love for travel and adds personality to your home. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your new artwork. It’s a great conversation starter and a constant reminder of the amazing places you’ve been or dream of visiting.
