IKEA Posters Review

Even a minimalist doesn't always like bare walls in an apartment. And those who are sensitive to decor issues and do not want to deprive themselves of the pleasure of organizing vertical accents in the house, in addition to paintings and photos, probably liked the posters.

This fashion (like many other interior booms, by the way) was started by IKEA. Its conceptual design of the home space without neglecting the little things was instantly considered by the buyer and began to be repeated already in real interiors. Posters have become such a recurring element.

Why posters are so good:

• they have become an alternative to paintings, they look more laconic and versatile;
• the cost of the poster relative to the cost of the painting is much lower;
• the poster is in tune with the worldview of the owner of the space - partly because he has already seen enough, saw many interiors with posters and is happy to repeat a successful idea;
• the specialists of the Swedish brand are developing a series of posters so that they are targeted to different rooms in the house, so that in terms of decor they are functional and impeccable.

Posters are also convenient because they can be changed more often than pictures. The décor can be seasonal, changing as the seasons change. It enlivens the interior, sets the right mood.

It is convenient to buy posters of the described brand in sets - you don't have to worry about compatibility.

A wonderful collection, which is also being updated, without letting scandi fans get tired of the monotony.Take the popular Feather Bild, for example. This is a poster by Annemette Cleet. A paper art object 51 cm wide and 71 cm long and weighs only 30 g. On paper linearly, feathers are also represented by "columns". Each of them is unique.

But what other posters of this type are popular.

• "Bild" 50 by 70 cm with the image of the water surface. The author of this image is Mark Shandon. The work can be inserted into a frame or mat. Suitable for calm interiors, sunny rooms, where it is often too hot.
• "Bild" 30 x 40 cm with the image of a branch of cherry blossoms. It is inserted into a frame or a mat. Suitable for interiors with prevailing warm notes.
• "Bild" 50 by 70 cm "Bird on a branch", black and white large posters would look great over a sofa in a living room, in a room dominated by gray.

The cost of this series is from 199 to 399 rubles.

The good thing about this series is that the buyer can create his own collage using these posters. Poster paintings are sold framed, that is, the item can be bought and hung immediately. The template can be divided into multiple collages. In a series - 8 photos or pictures that do not have a clear hanging scheme, each creates his own. The pictures are chosen so that any combination is harmonious and convincing.

The series provides for the presence of protective plastic sheets, which makes the use of posters safe. The paintings are distinguished by a common theme: bright, natural, cheerful, partly pastoral. The paintings depict natural views, still lifes, individual plants, ornaments, chickens and country houses. This theme will suit those who are close to the aesthetics of the countryside, those who miss their house in the village. The cost of the set is about 3000 rubles.

In this series, posters feature large floral images. Those who like to bring a botanical mood to the interior will love these pictures. White background, flowers mainly in pink tones, naturalistic pattern - all this will add dynamics to a calm interior, but will not disturb its measured, sunny mood.

Posters of this series with peonies and other flowers above the work table, above the chest of drawers will look good. They will not be superfluous in the bedroom. They are appropriate in the kitchen, too, if there is not enough floral tenderness and a large print. The average price is 199 rubles.

Frames are also sold in the Swedish store, and you can find a laconic and convenient frame for each poster you like, for example, frame "Bontoft", which can be hung both horizontally and vertically. It is made of solid pine. A characteristic feature of this material is that over time it becomes even more expressive.

But even more interesting in the interior can look like a holder, such as "Visback". There are two options for the holder - 40 and 61 cm. Such items are made of bamboo, covered with transparent acrylic varnish. Polypropylene suspension mount. The clamp is made of epoxy coated steel.

Many readers will rightly have a question: why buy a poster if you can find a picture on the Internet and print it? But the answer is also fair - every picture on the Internet has an author, and there is little good in the fact that his work is used without payment. The artists who design posters for IKEA receive royalties. And buying a poster there, a person goes to a legitimate deal.

But the point is not only this: it is rarely possible to find a picture on the Internet, the quality of which, when scaling, does not raise questions. Posters are the unconditional image quality. Simply put, the poster looks good, there is nothing to complain about.

Designers' recommendations for choosing a poster for the interior.

1. A picture with fine, beautiful details almost always adds volume to a room. They also help balance the space. A poster is easier to "make friends" with wallpaper, prints on furniture and textiles than a picture. And small-scale posters are especially good at this.
2. Images in soothing colors, decorated on the wall in a classic layout, are suitable for the bedroom. It is worth remembering about the “rule of three colors”. If the interior has 3 dominant colors, it is easier to make it solid and stylish. A large number of colors greatly breaks up the overall picture, deduces from harmony. The three base colors on the poster are perfect.
3. You should not choose those images that are in fashion right now, but not especially to the liking of the owners. Alas, many blindly repeat the picture from the Internet or social networks, follow the ideal interiors from the room tour, not listening to their own feelings. The poster should not contain anything that does not evoke positive emotions from the buyer.
4. Posters may require decor for roll call. For example, on the poster, red is bright and demanding, you want to use it somewhere outside the picture. And then, for example, a red wooden horse on a coffee table will be the same roll call. It is also needed for interior balance.

A simple, inexpensive, in 99% of cases, a successful option for transforming an interior is posters. You don't need to be a designer to decorate a wall in a house harmoniously and attractively.
