So, here PHORBA recommendations on ‘How To’ elevate your look and showcase those POSTERS in offices, living rooms, Restaurants, Game Room, Cafes, wherever you want.
- Start With a Cleaning Canvas
Before hanging your POSTERS, quickly inspect the wall for unsightly scuffs, dirt, or residues that can inhibit your adhesive materials. Painted or wall-papered surfaces are easily cleaned by gently wiping them down with a soft damp sponge.
Most sticky residues (maybe left over from the last attempt at POSTERS hanging?) may be removed with a little rubbing alcohol. This evaporates quickly and cleanly, but again always tests it on a small, inconspicuous spot first. Ensuring that your wall is clean and ‘POSTERS-ready’ will remove any distracting blemishes and makes your job easier.
Choosing the right spot for your POSTERS is more of a science than an art. To maximize the visual experience and the comfort of their audience, art galleries are often arranged with the centre of an individual piece at eye level.
For an average INDIAN this will be anywhere from 57-63 inches from the floor. This means that in order to put your POSTERS at eye-level, you will have do a little math. But don’t worry!
It’s easy.
Finally, measure up from the floor and mark that point gently on the wall with your pencil. Do this two more times, on either side of your first mark.
When you are ready to hang your POSTERS, line the bottom edge of it with those three marks. Erase any visible pencil marks and step back to admire your nice and even POSTERS that is at the perfect height.
This technique will work for most individual POSTERS.
But don’t limit yourself. A wide-open wall space can seem daunting, but this is your place to play.
Depending upon the size or shape of your POSTERS, you can showcase a single piece or a group to change the feel of your space.
When grouping your pieces, place the largest POSTERSs first to avoid overcrowding. Larger POSTERSs may be placed further apart than smaller ones, but a good rule of thumb is to not space them more than 6 inches apart.
Keep in mind any furniture that will be nearby and allow about 12 – 24 inches between your furniture and the POSTERSs.
