You’ve picked out the coolest posters, hammer and nails in hand, ready to give your walls some love. But… something doesn’t feel quite right. The wall looks cluttered, cramped, or just off. Sound familiar? Chances are, you’ve overlooked one crucial detail: white space!
Too little space = too much chaos
We get it – you want to fill your walls with all your favorite prints. But when posters are packed too close together or squished against furniture, your space loses its balance. You miss out on that calm, visual breathing room that lets your artwork really shine. White space – the empty space around your posters – lets your wall breathe, makes your posters pop, and instantly opens up your room.
Give your walls (and your eyes) some air
Think of white space as a pause between visual stimuli. Just like you need a break sometimes, your eyes do too! By leaving enough space around each poster, every print gets the attention it deserves. The result? A wall that feels clean, calm, and stylish. Even if you hang multiple posters.
How much white space do you need?
A simple rule of thumb: leave 5–15 cm between posters, depending on their size. Hanging above a piece of furniture? Keep about 20–30 cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the poster. Don’t forget the edges of your wall, let your posters breathe there too!
Poster + space = perfect match
Next time you hang a poster, don’t just think about color and layout but think white space! It’s the simple trick for a wall that truly wows.
Hanging posters is one thing, choosing the right ones is an art. Explore our collection and get inspired by designs that really make a statement.
