Posters vintage living room
The posters from our Vintage range that fill a living room wall: old travel posters, vintage adverts, period illustrations, in large formats.
Choosing the right poster
The living room is the room where the poster is seen by others, and vintage works there as a deliberate choice rather than neutral decoration. A 1950s travel poster or an old advertisement gives the wall a date, and that date becomes a topic of conversation.
It's also the room you view from a distance. From a sofa, you're about three metres from the wall: 50x70 is the right size, 70x100 when the wall section is wide and bare. The rule that works: the poster should span between half and two thirds of the width of the furniture below it. A 220 cm sofa calls for a 70x100, not a 30x40.
Vintage prints handle a living room's light well because their flat colour areas are broad and their contrasts are bold. Our 220 g/m² art paper with an anti-glare satin finish keeps them readable opposite a picture window, where a glossy print would reflect the whole window back.
