Not only have we curated our own poster frames collection, but right now we're here to give you the best tips on framing and on which poster frames are the perfect ones for your interior.
So buckle up and pay attention! This is going to be a life changing ride!
Perfect poster frames for your Scandi home
When creating the Scandi home of your dreams, you always have to bare in mind that wall art is the key to your success. Your next poster just has to fit with the rest of your home decor or, on the contrary, stand out from it in a very subtle way.
But what's more important is to remember that poster frames are just as important as art prints. At the end of the day, you can't expect your guest to remain in awe if your gallery wall has been ruined by the wrong framing.
If you feel a bit stressed out right now, no worries. We have your back, as always. We created the perfect step-by-step guide for you on how to frame your posters and stop yourself from messing up anything in your interior.
Step 1 - Choose a perfect spot
It's super important to fit the rest of your interior design with your new poster. You should start with looking around your home and figuring out which room is missing something. You definitely don't want to buy a poster and not know what to do with it.
Remember, your poster doesn't have to hang on the wall. You can match it with your favourite armchair and leave it next to it on the floor. Or if you're missing a piece of a home decor on that tiny shelf you never use in your kitchen, you might want to decorate a bit there.
Of course, posters as a home decor have huge advantage. Unless you pin them to your wall, you can move them around your apartment any time you want. Once you decide that you want your bedroom to be an oasis with completely clean space and lines, you can take your favourite poster and move to, let's say kitchen or dining room. Or wherever you want to.
Step 2 - Choose your poster
Pick a poster that matches your passion and personality. You'll have it around for quite a while, and looking at it everyday, you really want to choose one that best describes what you like. A great poster can express a person's style at a first sight.
If you want to match your minimalist interior, have a look around our Minimalist Posters collection. Marble posters work great for bedrooms while Line Art Posters collection will perfectly go with your living room vibes.
If you're up for a bit more of a colourful setting, then how about Project Nord's Nature and Botanical Posters? In line with all the minimalist rules, these will excel perfectly in any open space, like a hallway or a living room.
Once you've decided which poster will spark the most joy in your life, you're halfway to a perfect interior decoration. In case you're up for a gallery wall, you can go for both colour and minimalism, just remember to keep it in one same style. And, remember that poster frames are twice as important in that case.
Step 3 - Choose an ideal frame
Now you can choose a perfect poster frame to bring that final touch to your desired home decor. And not to brag, but Project Nord has an excellent selection of beautiful and, what's even more important, sustainably-sourced poster frames.
We have a wide selection of frames fit perfectly for any poster size you choose. So if you've decided to work on a gallery wall to spark up your living room, no worries about framing.
And of course, we remember that every minimalist still needs options. Therefore, you can choose not only from various sizes, but from a broad selection of colours and materials. All of it of course it the best minimalist spirit.
Our personal favourite, you ask? Well, as designers halfway to be proclaimed Scandinavians, we love all natural materials. And so, our Natural Wooden 50x70cm Frame is definitely among our top picks for any Scandi enthusiast out there!
Step 4 - Styling your room around your top pick
Now, once everything is in place, you still have to remember the last details. Quite literally. Once you got your poster and you pick a frame that fits both your new wall art and the setting of a room where you plan on displaying it, you need to remember to bring all of it to a perfect harmony.
That's the time when you consider whether all of the home decor you have around your poster goes along with the new atmosphere and setting. If not, consider donating the pieces that don’t play along anymore.
Maybe you have a friend that always admired the vase in the corner of your living room. And now that the spotlight is on the new art print, that vase could use a new home. Don't be afraid to change things around. The feel of the room will ultimately influence your daily mood, so you should pay attention to every detail.
Step 5 - Enjoy!
It's coming down to a season of celebration, so why not enjoy your new interior properly? Throw a party and let your new wall art shine!
Enjoy your designing spree with your friends, because all things in life are better if we share it with friends.
Your new home definitely deserves some admiration. And once the celebration is over, remember to cherish your new poster everyday. It's there to bring joy into your days. Moreover, now that you found that perfect poster frame, once you feel like your home decor is losing its spark, you can move things around and be creative once again.
It's needless to say that every good art print deserves recognition and a spotlight. So once you decide to add some into your collection, remember that there are a few things you have to bear in mind, that are important and come along with it. Same as you can't have a day without a night, light without a bit of darkness, you can't have a beautiful home without putting effort into it.
