Poster 70x100

When to Choose 70×100 cm

This is the largest standard poster size before A0. At 70 × 100 cm, a single print can define a room. Hang it above a sofa and it fills the wall without needing anything else beside it. Place it above a bed as a headboard-level focal point. Mount it in a dining room and it becomes what people look at during conversation.

The format works best on walls with at least 2.5 metres of height and 1.5 metres of uninterrupted width. In most European apartments with standard ceiling heights, that covers living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways comfortably. If your wall is smaller than that, consider 50 × 70 cm instead — same artwork, easier proportions for compact spaces.

70 × 100 cm is also the format where gallery-quality materials matter most. At this scale, paper texture, ink density, and colour accuracy are visible from across the room. Every detail is on display.

Best Subjects for Large-Format Posters

Bold composition wins at this size. Landscape prints — coastal scenes, mountain ranges, wide skies — finally get the horizontal sweep they need. Abstract works with broad colour fields or gestural brushstrokes gain real physical impact when they are a metre tall.

Portraiture and figure studies also work well. A single face or figure at 70 × 100 occupies space the way a painting in a museum does — it holds your attention from the doorway. Japanese scroll-style compositions, especially vertical formats, are particularly striking at this height. Explore the Japanese collection.

What to be cautious about: very fine, dense illustrations — tiny botanical details or small typography — can feel lost at this scale. Those subjects tend to work better at A3 or 50 × 70 where the viewing distance is shorter. For large format, go for pieces where the composition carries even when you are standing three metres away.

Framing a 70×100 Print

At this size, framing is a practical decision as much as an aesthetic one. A frame protects the edges, keeps the paper flat over time, and makes mounting straightforward. Oak, black, and walnut brown are available — each sized to fit 70 × 100 cm prints exactly.

Black frames create a sharp gallery boundary and work especially well against white or light grey walls. Oak softens the overall effect and suits rooms with wood flooring or natural furniture. Walnut brown adds depth without the starkness of black, good for bedrooms and warmer interiors.

Unframed prints at this size ship rolled in a protective tube. If you go unframed, a quality frame is worth adding later — at 70 × 100 cm, even slight curling over time is noticeable, and a frame prevents that entirely.

All prints are produced on 225g matte fine art paper with archival pigment inks in our Berlin studio. Same paper, same inks, same production process across all sizes — the only difference is the impact on your wall.
