How to choose the right poster size

Quick answer: A4 (20 × 30 cm) is the most popular size for bedrooms and offices, A3 (30 × 40 cm) works as a statement piece above a sofa or bed, and A5 and A6 are perfect for gallery walls and shelves. Measure your wall first and cut a piece of paper to size to see how it looks.

*Prices for most designs. London pub posters have their own prices.

What makes a good-quality poster?

• Paper: look for a heavy paper (around 200–300gsm). Ours is 260gsm matte, which shows deep colours without reflections.
• Printing: printed on demand means your poster is made fresh for you, not left in a warehouse.
• Design: original designs look better and last longer on your wall than generic stock images.
• Packaging: posters should arrive flat in a rigid envelope or rolled in a protective tube.

Printed poster or digital download?

Quick answer: choose a printed poster if you want it ready to frame and delivered to your door; choose a digital download (£3) if you want to print it yourself, need a last-minute gift or live outside the UK. Our digital downloads are high-resolution JPG and PDF files (300 dpi) sent by email, with no shipping to pay.

How to frame and hang your poster

A frame protects your print and makes it look finished. Choose a frame that matches the print size, add a mount for a gallery look, and use removable adhesive strips or picture hooks depending on your wall. Read our full guide: how to hang posters without damaging your walls.

How to create a gallery wall

1. Pick a theme: a director, a band, a city or a colour palette.
2. Mix sizes: one A3 in the centre with four A5 prints around it works on most walls.
3. Keep the same frames for a calm, consistent look.
4. Leave about 5 cm between frames and hang the centre at eye level (around 145–150 cm from the floor).
5. Use buy 3, get 1 free: four prints for the price of three.
