So you’ve got the poster. It’s bold. It’s you. It’s practically begging to level up your wall game. But now what? Slap it up with tape? Frame it like a fine wine label? Here are six easy, stylish ways to frame and style your posters that even your landlord would approve of.
1. Match the Frame to the Vibe, Not Just the Poster
A sleek black frame says "cool gallery mood". A chunky wooden one gives off cozy cabin core. And a minimal acrylic mount? Ultra modern, baby. Let the frame be part of the vibe.
My recommendation? If your poster is loud, go simple with the frame. If your print is minimal, try a bolder frame to add contrast.
Even better if the frame matches something else in the room, like a lamp base or your favorite chair.
2. Hang it Low-ish, Like a Pro
Hanging art too high is the rookie mistake we’re not doing in 2025. Aim for eye level when standing. Around 57 inches from the floor to the center of the artwork.
If it’s above furniture, leave 6 to 10 inches of breathing room between the top of your couch or desk and the bottom of the frame.
Renting? Use adhesive strips, Command hooks, or leaning frames against walls. No holes needed, no deposit drama.
3. Say Yes to the Gallery Wall but Keep It Unbasic
Mix and match posters with canvas prints, mini frames, postcards, or even funky mirrors. Odd numbers rule. Try a layout on the floor before committing.
The Studio Funkari gang loves a grid-meets-chaos moment. Clean rows with one rebel tilted piece? Iconic.
Keep spacing consistent, about 2 to 3 inches between frames. And don't forget to step back to check before final placement.
4. Light It Up, Darling
Good lighting makes your posters pop. Try clip-on picture lights, LED strips, or even a nearby floor lamp angled just right.
Avoid direct sunlight unless you're into faded vintage realness. UV rays can dull colors, especially on paper prints, unless they have UV coating.
Poster styling tip: Funkari prints play well with warm lighting, so think soft glows, not interrogation beams.
5. Mix Paper and Canvas Like a Mastermind
Don’t limit yourself. Paper posters bring that crisp, editorial energy. While a canvas poster adds texture and a bit of luxe. Together? Magic.
Hang canvases with no frame or floating frames for that gallery effect. Keep paper posters behind glass to protect them from dust and pizza grease. Trust us.
A cute combo? A canvas print over your bed, plus a paper poster grid over your desk. And just like that, you've achieved visual balance.
6. Let Your Poster Be the Star of a Shelfie
No wall space? No problem. Lean your framed poster on a shelf, dresser, or window sill. Layer with candles, plants, or even books with matching tones.
It’s relaxed, stylish, and very I-just-stumbled-into-this-aesthetic.
Pro tip. Change it up with the seasons. Your wall art deserves a little outfit rotation too.
Studio Funkari posters look fab however you frame them. Whether you're into high-contrast statement pieces or dreamy abstract scenes, the key is to have fun and trust your eye.
Now grab that hammer.. or that Command strip; and go make your walls happy!
