Posters landscape format

Posters wider than they are tall, for a wall that stretches: above a sofa, a headboard or a console. Where a vertical poster leaves a gap on each side, a horizontal one fills the width.

Tableau horizontal, affiche paysage : quel mur, quelle largeur

Which landscape format poster should you choose?

The landscape format changes the nature of the image: a horizontal picture reads differently from a portrait, and some subjects truly only exist in this orientation.

  • Vintage landscape format poster: old advertisement, map or plan, period lettering stretched in width.
  • Landscape horizontal nature poster: mountain range, coastline, field or forest, the horizon fills the whole line.
  • Landscape format film poster: image drawn from a wide scene, cinema framing.
  • Black and white landscape format poster: architecture, city or group portrait, contrast without colour.
  • Large abstract landscape format poster: shapes and flat colour that stretch the eye from one wall to the other.
  • 50x70 or 70x100 landscape format poster: the two most requested sizes for this hanging orientation.

The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by subject.

Where should you hang a landscape format poster?

  • Living room: above the sofa, this orientation follows the line of the furniture.
  • Bedroom: above the headboard, a wide size that does not overhang the bed frame.
  • Dining room: facing the table, a landscape or an elongated still life.
  • Hallway: a series of several landscape posters aligned at the same height.
  • Office: a city map or a map, understated above the desk.

Tip: a wide, low wall fills better with a landscape format than with several portraits.

Large format landscape poster or standard poster?

A large format landscape poster covers an entire wall and carries the whole room on its own, with nothing beside it. A landscape poster in 21x30 or 30x40 fits better into a composition with other frames, portrait and landscape mixed together. The choice depends on the width of wall available: a wall over two metres calls for a single large format, a narrower wall lends itself better to an arrangement of smaller pieces.

Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?

All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, not on canvas or metal.

  • With frame: black, white, oak or walnut, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
