Which format should I choose for a wall poster in the entryway?

Le format est la première décision à prendre. Dans une entrée, les contraintes sont réelles : murs souvent étroits, hauteur sous plafond variable, peu de recul. Voici nos recommandations selon la configuration :

• Entrée étroite (couloir < 1m) : 30×40 cm or 50×70 cm portrait format — the poster creates depth without overwhelming the space.
• Standard entry (1 to 2m):
• Large entrance or hallway (> 2m): large format A1 on its own, or a 3-size gallery wall — the entryway becomes a gallery.

In any case, prioritize the flush-mount wall poster, without a frame or mat — the poster blends into the architecture and creates maximum depth. To learn more about formats, consult our guide framed print or poster: how to choose.

• Colors too bright: The entrance should be inviting, not aggressive. Stick to neutral Mediterranean tones—sand, ivory, and soft terracotta.
• Poster too high:
