When buying a poster in 50x70 cm, the next step is to decide which frame size fits best. The choice depends on whether you want a clean, exact fit or a more decorative gallery look.
A perfect match: 50x70 frame for a 50x70 poster
The simplest option is to choose a 50x70 frame. The poster fills the entire frame, giving a sharp and modern look. This works especially well if you want a minimalistic style or plan to combine several posters of the same size into a larger wall arrangement.
Larger frames with passepartout
If you prefer a more airy and artistic expression, a larger frame is a good idea. Pairing your 50x70 poster with a 60x80 or 70x100 frame plus a passepartout adds a white border that highlights the artwork. This creates a gallery-like effect and makes the poster stand out even more.
Where to place a 50x70 poster
The size 50x70 cm is versatile and works well above a desk, dresser, or in a hallway. If you use an exact frame size, the poster blends seamlessly into a gallery wall. With a larger frame and passepartout, the same artwork can instead take center stage on an empty wall.
Choosing the right style
Frame color and material also play an important role. A black or oak 50x70 frame emphasizes the poster itself, while a white frame or a larger frame with passepartout softens the impression. Think about whether you want your poster to harmonize with other artworks or stand out as a statement piece.
Summary: what frame size to choose
-
50x70 frame = exact, modern fit.
-
Larger frame (60x80 or 70x100) = gallery effect with passepartout.
-
Consider both placement and style before deciding.
