Every poster we print comes in four sizes. Picking the wrong one is the most common reason a poster looks off, so here's what each one is for.
11x14 (27x35 cm)
The small one. Fits above a desk, on a bedroom door, inside a bookshelf, or grouped three or four across as a gallery row. Easy to frame; 11x14 frames are on every store shelf. Skip it for a big blank wall on its own.
16x20 (40x50 cm)
The safe default. Big enough to be the focal point above a dresser or nightstand, small enough to move around. If you're buying one poster and don't know the wall, this is the size.
18x24 (45x60 cm)
The one most people should be buying for over a bed or couch. It reads as art rather than a print. Frames are standard and cheap. This is our most popular size for teen rooms and offices.
24x36 (60x90 cm)
Full poster size. For a bare wall, a man cave, a garage gym, or anywhere it needs to be seen from across the room. It needs a frame or a poster hanger to stay flat, and it's a two-person job to hang straight.
A rule for when you're stuck
Measure the width of the furniture the poster will sit above. The poster should be roughly half to two-thirds of that width. A 48-inch dresser wants an 18x24 or a 24x36 turned landscape; a 30-inch desk wants an 11x14 or a 16x20.
Matching sizes in a set
If you're hanging multiple posters, keep them the same size. Three 16x20s in a row look designed; a 16x20 next to an 18x24 looks like a mistake, even though it's only two inches.
Frames
All four sizes are standard US frame sizes, so any big-box store or online frame shop will have them. Black or natural wood works with the minimalist style; skip ornate frames.
Once you know the size, pick the player: NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, or soccer. Every product page lists all four sizes.
