What is the difference, visually, (assuming they will be framed) between “art prints” and “posters”
This is for an apartment I share with my girlfriend, we are planning on buying some art to put on the walls and were wondering if framing posters is:
1) too tacky.
2) will look like it belongs in a dorm room as opposed to an apartment.
Art prints are signed, limited edition prints on quality paper.
Posters are mass produced, unsigned, and on a thinner grade of paper.
I have a number of framed posters and art prints in my home, and believe me, they look anything BUT tacky and dorm room-ish. The secret is to choose a frame that complements one of the colors in the print. The vintage prints look wonderful with a narrow wood frame and the more modern ones look great with painted metal frames.
Avoid buying those “prefab poster frames” and visit a frame shop instead. You can order custom colors and assemble the frames yourself to save $$$.
