We've all hung posters in our rooms at some point or the other—usually when we were teenagers in awe of certain rock stars! But posters aren't just for teenagers; they're also for adults. You can hang vintage posters which are like artworks in their own right. They may include black and white glamour shots of Audrey Hepburn, movie posters from bygone eras, retrospective theater posters etc. Large-sized art prints can also be hung in the same way i.e. with a poster hanging system.

Disadvantages of Using Tape or Glue

A poster hanging system makes it easy to hang your poster without any folds or wrinkles. If you've ever tried to hang a poster before, then you know that it's not always easy to get it to stay absolutely flat against the wall. Taping the poster to the wall also makes it look inelegant and leaves behind marks. You might end up peeling off your paint when you try to remove the poster.

There are other ways of hanging a poster, but they all have the same disadvantages. The poster will never hang absolutely straight and the paint on your walls will be damaged.

How Do You Use a Poster Hanging System?

It's best to use a poster hanging system in which a rail attaches to the top and bottom of your poster. This rail adds some weight to the bottom of the poster, thus keeping it straight at all times. This gets rid of the poster-wrinkling problem which you have in all other ways of hanging up a poster. Plus, the top rail is attached to thin cables which go all the way up to the ceiling and are attached to brackets there.

Advantages of a Poster Hanging System

A poster hanging system may take a little more time and effort to set up, but it will give your poster the setting it deserves as opposed to merely taping it or gluing it to the wall. Plus, if you want to change posters three months down the line, you can do so easily by just removing the rails and snapping them on to another poster. Additionally, keep in mind that this is a great poster-hanging solution, not just for the home but also for offices and display windows.

A Poster Hanging System Is Easy to Set Up

No matter where you want to hang a poster, you can use a poster hanging system in which all the necessary parts are included. You just need to make sure that the rails are the right size for the poster you want to hang. And then it's up to you whether you set up the poster hanging system yourself or have someone do it for you.

Using a Poster Hanging System at Home and at Work

In the home, you can hang posters for aesthetic reasons and create a display which you'll love looking at day after day. At work, you can hang posters to give your customers information and help them to make the right choice.

Advantages of Hanging Posters Instead of Prints

Posters are often a better choice than framed prints because they're not covered with glass which means that you won't end up looking at reflections in the glass rather than what's inside the frame. Plus, posters also have a casual feel which can be more appropriate depending on what effect you're trying to create in that room. Additionally, posters are usually bigger in size, so they make more of an impact than prints which are usually smaller. It's also possible to mix things up i.e. hang posters, prints and other types of decorative items together on one wall as long as they come together in a harmonious way.
