Contemporary posters & prints

Time to update your home interior? Ready for a complete redecoration or are you just wanting to liven things up with a few new details? Whatever your needs, there is a lot you can do with the help of a few new posters and prints. Redecorating and updating your home should be fun and preferably not cost the earth. If you can create a whole new look and feel to your home with just a few small changes, then you’re on to a winner.

Imagine an empty room with white walls, a completely blank canvas. You get to decide the feelings you want to create, and everything is possible. Imagine decorating the walls with a few posters of large, green leaves intertwined in a lush rainforest. In one of the trees sits an exotic bird whose feathers are all the colours of the rainbow, and a vine with small, dark green leaves winds its way up the trunk and along the branches. Can you smell the jungle? Now imagine taking down the jungle posters and hanging some black and white posters of urban cityscapes and skyscrapers. On the bustling street below, traffic halts to a standstill as smartly dressed commuters cross the road. Which room would you prefer to be in? A jungle, a busy city or somewhere else entirely?

With this example, we wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to put a stamp on an entire room, all depending on what type of feelings you want to evoke. By allowing posters and prints to set the tone, it's so easy to replace with something different whenever you fancy a change.

Perhaps you've already decided that a few new posters are exactly what you need but you need some help and inspiration? The types of image are of course subjective as everyone has individual tastes, but we've compiled our best tips to help you sort your thoughts when choosing an image.

On our Instagram page @bgainspo you can see many inspiring photos shared by our customers. Who knows, in the future perhaps it will be your own pictures we will see there?

Add some colour to your life…

Posters and prints are a really simple way to add a splash of colour to a room. Choose colours that work well with your walls and other decor if you want to create as harmonious a look as possible. Or if you want your posters to stand out and make a statement, choose bolder colours. Different colours stir up different feelings within us. For example, red is known to catch our attention quickly, perhaps because it is associated with danger. Use red sparingly as it can easily dominate a whole room. Green, with its association with nature, often evokes feelings of calm and can also help our focus and concentration. Yellow makes us happy and sharpens our memory and imagination—great for an office or studio.

It's possible to sort by colour when browsing our collections, making it easy to find the exact shade you're after.

…or do you see everything in black and white?

Perhaps you already have enough colour in your home? Or maybe you prefer a more minimalist monochrome look? No problem. You can also filter to view only black and white posters. Combine different images to create variety and interest, or choose uniform images to convey calm and harmony.

Technical diagrams?

Were you fascinated by new inventions when growing up? Technical diagrams transport you back to your childhood dreams. We have a wide selection of patent drawings to choose from—who cares if you weren't the inventor?

Go on a journey – in your living room!

Are you longing to travel? Do you dream of strolling through Paris? Or is your hometown your happy place? We have maps of countries, cities, and more. Our landscape posters include informative text too, so you can learn while decorating.

Uniform or mix and match?

Interior design is personal. You might love something someone else wouldn’t hang on their wall. That’s fine! We offer hundreds of posters and prints in all kinds of styles, so you’re sure to find something you love. Want consistency? Use the same colour frame, or stick to a theme like the sea or birds. Want the opposite? Go wild—mix styles, colours, and subjects like cities, animals, or fashion.

Maybe a gallery wall?

Not sure what a gallery wall is? It’s when you group pictures closely together on one wall to create a collective visual impact. Gallery walls are artworks in themselves. Try laying your pictures on the floor first to experiment with layouts. For the cleanest look, use similar frames. If your images vary, consistency in framing can bring cohesion. Or align your pictures by their edges or centres for a tidy grid-like effect.

Let your posters shine in a beautiful frame

No matter the image or style, posters always look better framed. It gives a more polished finish and makes them easier to hang.
