Creating a Travel Poster Feature Wall Above Your Bed

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, a space that reflects your personality and passions. And for those of us bitten by the travel bug, what better way to personalise this space than with a captivating feature wall of travel posters above your bed? It’s a fantastic way to infuse your room with wanderlust and create a truly unique and inspiring atmosphere.

Now, you might be wondering how to pull this off without it looking cluttered or overwhelming. Don’t worry, I’m here to guide you through the process. From choosing the right posters to hanging them with finesse, we’ll transform that blank space above your bed into a window to your dream destinations.

Selecting the Perfect Travel Posters for Your Bedroom

The beauty of a travel poster feature wall is that it’s entirely personal. Think about the places you hold dear, the destinations that inspire you, or the journeys you long to embark on. Do you envision vibrant cityscapes, serene landscapes, or perhaps vintage travel adverts with a touch of nostalgia?

Browse through our collection of travel posters and let your instincts guide you. We have a diverse range of styles, from classic to contemporary, ensuring there’s something to suit every taste and bedroom aesthetic.

Here are a few things to consider when making your selection:

• Colour Harmony: Choose posters with colours that complement your existing bedroom décor. Do you want to create a calming atmosphere with cool blues and greens, or add a pop of energy with vibrant reds and yellows?
• Theme or Story: You could focus on a specific region, country, or even a particular style of travel. This creates a cohesive look and tells a visual story.
• Size and Orientation: Consider a mix of sizes and orientations to add visual interest. A large panoramic poster could be the centrepiece, complemented by smaller portrait or landscape prints.

Framing Your XL Travel Posters

Once you’ve chosen your posters, the next step is framing them. The right frames can elevate your posters and tie them in with your bedroom’s style.

We offer a variety of framing options. Think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

Here are a few pointers for framing:

• Frame Style: A minimalist black or white frame can let the poster take centre stage, while a wooden frame can add warmth and a classic touch.
• Matting: A mat can create a visual buffer between the poster and the frame, adding sophistication and drawing attention to the artwork.
• Glazing: Consider non-glare glass to reduce reflections and protect your posters from fading.

Arranging and Hanging Your Posters

Now comes the exciting part – bringing your vision to life! Before you even pick up a hammer, it’s crucial to plan your arrangement.

• Mock-up Your Layout: Lay your framed posters on the floor and experiment with different configurations. This helps you visualise how they’ll look above your bed.
• Consider Scale and Balance: Ensure the overall size of your arrangement is proportional to your bed and the wall space. Aim for balance, but don’t be afraid to play with asymmetry.

Hanging Tips:

• Measure and Mark: Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the desired position of each frame on the wall.
• Ensure it’s Level: A spirit level is your best friend! Use it to ensure each frame is perfectly straight.
• Securely Hang: Use appropriate hanging hardware for the size and weight of your frames.

Creating a Relaxing and Inspiring Oasis

With your travel poster feature wall in place, your bedroom will be transformed into a haven of wanderlust. Every time you glance at the posters, you’ll be transported to those captivating destinations, igniting your travel dreams and adding a touch of personality to your personal space.
