Origin and history of posters

Posters emerged in the 19th century when artists turned advertising into an art form. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Andy Warhol and Alphonse Mucha shaped entire eras.

Today, posters are a staple of interior design. They reflect the evolution of design, print and society – telling stories of trends, ideas and style.

Contemporary wall art follows suit: alongside paper and art prints, textile pictures are growing in popularity thanks to their warm texture.

Tips & comparison. Poster, canvas or placard?

A common question: What’s the difference between a poster, a canvas and a placard?

Here’s the answer:

  • Posters are flexible, lightweight and affordable – ideal for frequent updates.
  • Canvas looks more premium, with texture and long-lasting durability.
  • Placards are thinner and primarily intended for advertising or temporary use.

Hanging: no drilling required – use adhesive strips, magnetic rails or frames.

Price range: standard sizes from approx. €10; large art prints from €30.

Unlike canvas, posters are easier to swap – perfect if you like to restyle regularly.

If you prefer crisp lines and reflections, consider glass pictures; they look elegant and intensify colours with depth and sheen.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about posters

What’s the difference between a poster and a placard?

A poster is a high-quality print on sturdy paper – mainly decorative. A placard is often used for advertising and is more functional.

What’s the difference between a poster and a canvas?

A poster is a flat paper print, often framed or hung with poster rails — affordable and flexible. A canvas is stretched over a wooden frame with a more painterly look, robust and ready to hang. Posters are ideal for changing décor; canvases suit long-term settings.

Which poster sizes are available?

Many standard sizes, e.g.:

  • Small: 21 × 30 cm (A4), 30 × 40 cm
  • Medium: 40 × 50 cm, 50 × 70 cm
  • Large: 70 × 100 cm, 100 × 140 cm
  • XXL: up to 150 × 200 cm
  • Special: round, panorama and square formats

Have your motif printed to the perfect size — minimalist or bold.

How big is an XXL poster?

Typically from 70 × 100 cm upwards. Common sizes include 100 × 140 cm, 120 × 80 cm and 150 × 100 cm — and for extra impact, 200 × 140 cm.

Which frame size for 50×70?

Use a frame with the exact inner dimensions — 50 × 70 cm. A mount (passe-partout) can make the image appear smaller.

What resolution should I use for a poster?

At least 150–300 dpi at final size. We check print quality in advance to ensure optimum results.

Are posters matte or glossy?

Both are possible. For living spaces, silk-matt paper is often chosen as it reflects less and looks refined.

What’s the best way to hang a poster?

Use frames, poster rails or adhesive strips. For delicate walls such as wallpaper, rails are recommended.
Tip: Keep the poster flat and out of direct sunlight to preserve colour.

How do you create a good poster?

A good poster needs:

  • A clear, recognisable motif
  • A considered palette that suits the room
  • Correct resolution (min. 150–300 dpi at print size)
  • Quality paper (e.g., silk-matt photo 200 g/m²)
  • Good positioning

How much does a poster cost?

Prices vary by size, paper and customisation:

  • Small (e.g., 21 × 30 cm): about €10–15
  • Medium (50 × 70 cm): about €20–40
  • Large (70 × 100 cm and up): from €40
  • Personalised photo posters: from about €20

We regularly offer bestsellers and promotions — ideal for budget-friendly decorating.

Can I design posters myself?
